Chapter 29 uses the title 'Maharaj.' Can you clarify if this is a reference to Gajanan Maharaj?

That's a great question for clarification. In the context of Chapter 29 of the Shri Sai Satcharita, the title 'Maharaj' is used to refer respectfully to Sai Baba himself, not Gajanan Maharaj. Verse 8 states, 'Thus the Maharaj was of generous disposition, steadfast in charity and righteousness,' directly following descriptions of Sai Baba's fame for giving money to the poor and needy. The term is used to signify Sai Baba's saintly and kingly nature in his acts of charity. The provided text from this chapter does not contain any references to Gajanan Maharaj; the focus remains entirely on the divine play and compassionate character of Sai Baba.
