The preface, cited in Chapter 0, specifically highlights two major Guru biographies in Maharashtra known for their suitability for Parayans due to their comprehensive nature. The first is the older, well-established work by Shri Saraswati Gangadhar about Shri Samarth Sadguru Narsimha Saraswati Maharaj, which is famously known as the Brihat or Thorale Guru Charitra. The second is the more recent biography that is the subject of the preface itself: the Shri Sai Satcharita. This work, written by Annasaheb Dabholkar about Shri Sai Baba, is described as a sweet, inspirational, and grace-filled biography. The text strongly implies that no other works of comparable detail existed in the region.
