Who was involved in the process of serving the Naivedya, and what were their roles in this daily ritual?

The daily ritual of serving the Naivedya (food offering) involved several key individuals who acted on Sai Baba's orders. As Chapter 38 explains, after Baba mixed the food and offered it to God, He would ask Shama (Madhavrao Deshpande) and Nana to fill the plates and serve the devotees. The text further clarifies that Baba ordered Nanasaheb Nimonkar or Madhavrao Deshpande (Shama) to serve the food every day. For them, serving the Naivedya was a daily rule, and they undertook this work with "supreme love" and "great pains," ensuring that all devotees were served with affection and received the delicacies they craved.
