Chapter 0 describes a powerful method for collective study, which involves performing Parayan or Saptah (a week-long devotional reading) of a Guru's biography. While some works by poets like Shri Dasganu Maharaj exist, they are often too brief for this purpose. The text emphasizes that studying a detailed, poetic Guru biography is a form of Guru service. When a congregation of devotees engages in Parayans, they not only serve the Guru but also help each other achieve their life's purpose, thereby strengthening the community bond through shared spiritual practice.
What are some prescribed methods for collectively studying the life of a Guru like Sai Baba to foster a sense of community?
