Are there specific texts recommended for performing Parayans to learn about Sai Baba, and why are they considered suitable?

Yes, for devotees of Sai Baba, the Shri Sai Satcharita is the primary recommended text for devotional readings. As explained in Chapter 0, this biography was written by the devotee Shri Govind Raghunath alias Annasaheb Dabholkar. It is described as a sweet, inspirational, and grace-filled work. Unlike other brief biographies that may only be a few pages long, the Shri Sai Satcharita is a detailed, comprehensive, and famous work specifically suitable for Parayans and Saptahs. It was published over six years, resulting in a substantial and complete account for deep study and community engagement.
