Could you describe the special relationship between Maharaj and Tatya Patil?

Maharaj and Tatya Patil shared a uniquely deep and affectionate bond, often described as that of an 'uncle and nephew,' with Tatya calling Maharaj 'Mama.' Chapter 0 reveals that Maharaj had great love for Tatya and pampered him, even giving him money. This closeness was rooted in the unwavering service of Tatya's mother, Bayajabai, who cared for Maharaj when many others in the village considered him mad. Their evening interactions were a sight to behold, filled with loving conversation. Tatya was also entrusted with all arrangements in the Masjid and Chavadi. In fact, Maharaj would not rise from his seat until Tatya came to hold his hand, lead him, and prepare his seat, a daily routine that highlights their profound trust.
