Analyze the evolution of worship practices for Sai Baba, from his initial reluctance to the establishment of formal Aartis as described in the source material.

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 0

Chapter 0 provides a fascinating account of the gradual evolution of worship for Sai Baba. Initially, Maharaj did not even allow himself to be worshipped. The first step was his acceptance of worship from Mhalasapati. A subsequent attempt by Sitaram Dengle was met with anger, though Baba allowed it to be completed. A significant turning point occurred when he peacefully permitted Nanasaheb Chandorkar's son to perform worship, after which permission was granted to all. The performance of Aarti followed a similar progression, with Tatyasaheb Noolkar having the honor of the first Aarti, and Radhakrishna-Aai later institutionalizing the dawn and night Aartis, cementing these practices.
