What is the role of devotional reading, like a Parayan, in fostering a community around a Guru's teachings?

The source material in Chapter 0 explains that performing a Parayan or Saptah of a detailed poetic Guru biography is a profound form of service that fosters community. The Sadguru accepts this study as service from the entire congregation of devotees. Furthermore, as Chapter 0 mentions, when devotees collectively engage in Parayans, the writer of the biography gains the merit of serving God in humanity (Jan-Janardan) and performing public service. This shared spiritual activity unites devotees, allowing them to collectively achieve the purpose of their lives through the grace of their Guru, as facilitated by the sacred text.
