Can you describe the close relationship between Sai Baba and Tatya Kote Patil?

The bond between Sai Maharaj and Tatya Kote Patil was exceptionally affectionate, much like that of an uncle and nephew. Chapter 0 explains that Tatya called Maharaj 'Mama' (maternal uncle), a term of endearment. This closeness stemmed from the dedicated service of Tatya's mother, Bayajabai, who cared for Maharaj when others in the village were wary. As a result, Maharaj showered Tatya with love and money. Tatya was responsible for arrangements in the Masjid and Chavadi, and he would personally assist Maharaj by holding his hand, preparing his seat, and even getting the chillum ready for him.
