Chapter 2 addresses this very question. The author acknowledges the existence of other wonderful works, including Das Ganu's "Bhakta-Lilamrut" and "Santa-Kathamrut," as well as poems and stories by other devotees. However, as explained in the chapter, Sai's life is compared to a vast, infinite ocean, a mine of countless jewels. The author feels that no single work can capture its entirety. Therefore, he believes there is always value in telling more of Sai's infinite stories, which provide peace from worldly troubles and give devotees enthusiasm and steadiness of mind. He sees his effort as a small contribution to describing the indescribable, finding satisfaction in whatever can be told.
Chapter 2 mentions several existing works about Sai Baba, like those by Das Ganu and others. Why did the author feel the need to write another book, the Sai Satcharitra?
