How does the practice of performing a Parayan or Saptah help in spreading a Guru's teachings and building a community?

The practice of performing a Parayan or Saptah, which involves the devotional reading of a Guru's biography over a set period, is a key method for fostering community and spreading teachings. Chapter 0 explains that when devotees collectively study and perform Parayans of a detailed poetic biography, it's not just the writer who performs Guru service. The writer also gains the merit of serving God in humanity (Jan-Janardan) and public service. This shared practice brings devotees together, allowing them to collectively immerse themselves in the Guru's life and teachings, thereby strengthening their own spiritual purpose and their communal bond.
