Are there specific texts recommended for group study or Parayans to connect with Sai Baba?

Yes, the preface explicitly recommends a specific text for those wishing to connect with Sai Baba through devotional reading. While other works exist, such as those by Shri Dasganu Maharaj, they are often not comprehensive enough for a detailed Parayan or Saptah. As mentioned in Chapter 0, the Shri Sai Satcharita, written by Annasaheb Dabholkar, is presented as the ideal work for this purpose. It is described as a recent, sweet, inspirational, and grace-filled biography specifically suitable for Parayans and Saptahs, making it the primary recommended text for group study among Sai Baba's devotees.
