I'm new to Sai Baba's path and want to connect with other followers. Which text is best for group study, and why is it so highly recommended?

For a new devotee looking to connect with a community, the most recommended text is the 'Shri Sai Satcharita' by Annasaheb Dabholkar. Chapter 0 explains that this work is a detailed, sweet, and inspirational biography of Sai Baba, making it ideal for group study and devotional readings known as Parayans. Unlike other works that might be too brief, the Satcharita is specifically praised as one of only two such comprehensive Guru biographies in the region. Engaging with this text allows devotees to perform a collective service to the Guru and helps everyone in the group achieve the purpose of their lives, fostering a strong community bond.
