The bond between Tatya Patil and Sai Baba was exceptionally close and filled with mutual love, as described in Chapter 37. Tatya affectionately called Baba 'Mama' (uncle), and the text states there is no comparison for their close relationship. This special bond was evident during the Chavadi procession rituals. Baba would remain seated, even if ready, until Tatya arrived. It was Tatya who would put his hand under Baba's arm to help Him stand. During the walk to the Chavadi, Tatyaba held Baba's left hand, and he was also the one who placed a beautiful golden-bordered shawl over Him, showcasing his intimate and service-oriented role.
