The scene, as depicted in Chapter 24, was one of intimate devotion in the mosque. Sai Baba, a lifelong celibate, allowed all devotees, both men and women, to perform personal service for him. At this particular moment, various followers were attending to him: someone was pressing his side, another was massaging his feet, and others were pressing his back and stomach. Specifically, Damu Anna, a man over fifty with no teeth, was leaning forward from the outside and gently pressing Baba's left hand. On the other side, a mature, devoted widow named Venubai Kaujalgi, whom everyone called Mavshibai, was deeply engrossed in her service of vigorously pressing and churning Baba's stomach. This was the setting of close, physical service and devotion into which their humorous quarrel erupted.
Can you describe the general scene of service around Sai Baba right before the argument between Damu Anna and Mavshibai began?
