Could you detail the specific rituals and readings involved in the 'Satya-Sai vow' as performed by the Patil?

The 'Satya-Sai vow' was a specific ritual the Patil created to express his gratitude. As detailed in Chapter 13, he would perform this vow regularly on every Thursday. The practice began with bathing, after which he would read from a specific text. Instead of the traditional Satyanarayan story, the Patil read the three chapters dedicated to Sainath from the 'Bhaktalilamrut,' a work written by Das Ganu. This reading brought him 'boundless happiness' and peace. The ritual also included the 'same abundance of offering (Naivedya) and the same auspicious celebration' as a traditional vow, and he performed it with friends, relatives, and brothers, making it a communal and joyful event.
