Bayajabai Kote Patil

Bayajabai was Tatya's mother and the family had a close association with Baba from the very beginning and Baba saw her as a sister always addressing her as such. On first meeting him she vowed she would not take food until Baba had eaten.

In the early days Baba did not stay in one place but roamed around and so Bayajabai would carry the food in a basket on her head and go in search of him. Only when he had been fed would she be satisfied.

In later years as if to save her the bother of finding him, Baba settled down in the mosque and hers was one of the handful of houses that he went to beg.
