What does the source say about the tradition of Parayans and Saptahs, and how does this practice relate to performing Guru service with 'excellent faith'?

The practice of performing Parayans (readings) and Saptahs (weekly recitations) is described as very ancient, dating back to the Vedic era. As explained in Chapter 0, these recitations are commonly held for great Sanskrit works like the Vedas and Ramayana, as well as for revered Marathi texts. This tradition is directly linked to the most effective form of Guru service, which involves the study and recitation of a Sadguru's biography. The text emphasizes that to achieve spiritual fruits, these recitations must be performed with a pure heart, selfless love, and 'excellent faith,' making faith a critical component of this devotional practice.
