Why did the author feel it was necessary to explain the origin of the name 'Hemadpant' within his book?

πŸ“– Chapter 2

The author decided to include the story of how he was named 'Hemadpant' primarily to satisfy the reader's natural curiosity. In Chapter 2, he acknowledges that at the end of every chapter, the phrase "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant" appears. He anticipates that this would make readers wonder about the identity of this 'Pant'. He refers to this explanation as a "sub-story within the story" and believes the inspiration to tell it is from Sai Baba himself. By addressing this question directly, he aims to satisfy the listener's curiosity before continuing with the main life story of Sai, asking them to listen with full attention to this brief digression about his naming ceremony.
