In what ways does Chapter 1 equate Shri Sai with the principal deities of the Hindu pantheon?

Chapter 1 establishes Sai's divinity by equating him with several principal deities. It begins by stating, 'This Sai himself is Ganesha Ganapati,' the remover of obstacles. It then declares, 'Sai himself is Goddess Saraswati,' the source of knowledge and speech. The chapter goes further by bowing to the trinity—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shankar—and then directly addresses Sai, saying, 'O self-effulgent Sainath, you alone are our Lord of Ganas (Ganadhish), the Lord of Savitri (Brahma), the Lord of Rama (Vishnu), or the Lord of Uma (Shiva).' This positions Sai not as a separate entity but as the non-dual embodiment of these major divine forms.
