How does performing a 'Parayan' of a Guru's biography function as a form of spiritual and public service?

📖 Chapter 0

Performing a Parayan, or a devotional reading of a detailed poetic biography, is a direct form of Guru service. Beyond this personal devotion, the act extends into a broader service. As Chapter 0 explains, when devotees study and perform Parayans, the author of the biography gains the merit of serving God within humanity (Jan-Janardan) and performing public service. This collective spiritual practice helps other devotees in the community to achieve the purpose of their lives, creating a ripple effect of shared spiritual benefit and community building around the Guru's life and teachings.
