Why is Sai Baba referred to as 'Maharaj' in Chapter 29? Is this a mistake and should it be Gajanan Maharaj?

📖 Chapter 29

In Chapter 29, the title "Maharaj" is used specifically for Sai Baba to emphasize his kingly and generous disposition. Verse 8 states, "Thus the Maharaj was of generous disposition, steadfast in charity and righteousness." This follows descriptions of him abundantly distributing money to the poor, needy, and visiting performers. The use of "Maharaj" is not presented as a mistake or a reference to Gajanan Maharaj. Instead, it's a term of respect used within the narrative to highlight Sai Baba's profound charity and compassion, which, as the chapter notes, was a key reason people developed the desire for his darshan. The text from Chapter 29 provides no information to suggest this is an error or a reference to another saint.
