Can you elaborate on the special relationship between Tatya Ganpati Patil Kote and Maharaj?

Tatya Ganpati Patil Kote shared a deeply affectionate bond with Maharaj, whom he called 'Mama,' or maternal uncle. Chapter 0 highlights that Maharaj had great love for Tatya, pampering him and providing him with money. This connection was strengthened by the devotion of Tatya's mother, Bayajabai, who served Maharaj when others were dismissive. Tatya was entrusted with all arrangements in the Masjid and Chavadi. Their bond was so profound that Maharaj would not rise in the morning until Tatya came to hold his hand and lift him. Tatya also had the duty of preparing the chillum for Maharaj.
