Why is Sai Baba called "Maharaj" in this chapter? Does the text suggest this is related to other saints with that title, like Gajanan Maharaj?

In Chapter 29, Sai Baba is referred to as "Maharaj" in verse 8 to emphasize his noble and generous character. The text states, "Thus the Maharaj was of generous disposition, steadfast in charity and righteousness." This title is used in the specific context of describing his widespread fame for giving money abundantly to the poor, needy, and pilgrims. The provided excerpts do not connect this title to any other specific saints, such as Gajanan Maharaj. It is presented simply as a term of respect highlighting Sai Baba's own qualities and actions as described in the chapter.
