The acceptance of worship by Maharaj was a gradual process, as detailed in Chapter 0. Initially, he did not even permit himself to be worshipped. The first breakthrough came when he accepted worship from Mhalasapati. He showed anger towards the next devotee, Sitaram Dengle, but allowed the worship to conclude. A pivotal moment occurred when he peacefully allowed Nanasaheb Chandorkar's son, Bapu, to perform worship, which subsequently granted permission to all. However, performing his Aarti was still not allowed. This final step was initiated by Tatyasaheb Noolkar, who was given the honor of performing the first Aarti for Maharaj.
Can you outline the progression of Maharaj allowing worship, from initial resistance to the commencement of Aarti?
