Why was Balabuva Satarkar known as the 'Modern Tukaram' and what led him to desire Baba's darshan in the first place?

According to the account in Chapter 6, Balabuva Satarkar was a famous Haridas who earned the title 'Modern Tukaram' because of his exceptional Bhajans. This suggests his devotional singing was comparable to that of the great saint Tukaram. The text states that upon hearing of Sai Baba's fame, a deep desire for Darshan simply arose in Balabuva's heart. However, he was hesitant to make the journey alone and was looking for company. The cancellation of his usual Ram Navami Kirtan in Kavthe due to a plague provided the perfect opportunity, which, combined with his pre-existing desire to see Baba, set him on the path to Shirdi.
