Sai Baba instituted a daily reading of sacred texts in Shirdi, an opportunity that was of great use to the devotees. As detailed in Chapter 18, He assigned this task to Bapusaheb Jog, who would conduct the readings in Sathe’s Wada. Every day after his afternoon meal, Jog would first go to Baba to bow, take Udi, and receive permission to begin. He would then joyfully start the Parayana, or devotional reading, of books like the Jnaneshwari and Nath Bhagawat, providing explanations of the meaning. Baba, in His profound skill for bestowing grace, would often send many of the devotees who came to see Him at the Masjid over to the Wada to listen to these readings, ensuring they benefited from this spiritual practice.
