According to the preface of the Shri Sai Satcharita, a significant way for devotees to build community is through the collective study and performance of Parayans or Saptahs. Chapter 0 explains that when devotees study a detailed Guru biography, the writer gains the merit of serving humanity, and the devotees performing the study can achieve the purpose of their lives. This shared practice of studying a foundational text like the Shri Sai Satcharita, written by Annasaheb Dabholkar, fosters a powerful communal spiritual experience and collective growth.
How can followers of Sai Baba come together to build a community and deepen their connection to his teachings?
