Describe the affectionate relationship between Sai Baba and Tatya Kote Patil, including their daily interactions.

The relationship between Sai Baba and Tatya Kote Patil was exceptionally close and loving, resembling that of an uncle and nephew. As Chapter 0 explains, Tatya affectionately called Maharaj "Mama" (maternal uncle). This bond was nurtured by the selfless service of Tatya's mother, Bayajabai. Maharaj, in turn, showered love on Tatya, giving him money and pampering him. Their evening interactions were a sight to behold, filled with affectionate conversation. Tatya's role was integral to Baba's routine; he managed all arrangements in the Masjid and Chavadi, would help Baba get up, prepare his seat, and even prepare the chillum for him.
