The text mentions sixteen rituals for the body. What are the specific rituals Sai Baba commanded the author to perform before writing the stories?

The provided text does not state that Sai Baba commanded the author to perform sixteen specific rituals before writing. In Chapter 2, the author mentions the sixteen rituals for the body in a general sense while introducing the story of his naming ceremony, or 'Namakaran.' The actual instructions Sai Baba gave the author for the writing of his stories were different. Baba advised him to dissolve his ego and surrender it at His feet, stating, "I myself shall write my own story!" The condition was one of complete surrender, not the performance of specific physical rituals for the act of writing.
