The term 'Maharaj' in Chapter 14 is used as an honorific title for Sai Baba, not as a reference to Gajanan Maharaj. The text states, 'He went to the Masjid for darshan and prostrated at Sai's feet. Seeing Maharaj, the heap of merit, love surged within him.' The sequence of these sentences clearly establishes that 'Maharaj' is Sai Baba, whom Ratanji has just approached. The provided excerpts from Chapter 14 focus exclusively on Ratanji's visit to Sai Baba in Shirdi and do not mention Gajanan Maharaj in any capacity.
The text refers to 'Maharaj' when Ratanji is in the Masjid. Is this a reference to Gajanan Maharaj?
