How did the publication of the 'Shri Sai Satcharita' itself help in forming a community around Sai Baba?

The creation and dissemination of the 'Shri Sai Satcharita' were instrumental in building the Sai community. According to Chapter 0, this biography of Sai Baba was written by the devotee Annasaheb Dabholkar. Significantly, it was published chapter by chapter over a period of six years in the 'Shri Sai Leela' magazine before being compiled. This serialized release would have cultivated a regular readership and a sense of shared anticipation, effectively gathering a community of devotees who were following the unfolding story of their Guru's life together. The text is noted as one of only two such detailed Guru biographies, making it a foundational text for group study.
