What is the significance of performing Parayans, and are all biographical works suitable for this practice?

Performing Parayans (devotional readings) or Saptahs (week-long readings) of a Guru's biography is a profound form of Guru service. As explained in Chapter 0, this practice benefits both the writer and the readers; the writer earns merit for public service, and the devotees who study the work move toward fulfilling their life's purpose. However, not all biographies are suitable for this. The text clarifies that while some saints are mentioned in works by poets like Shri Dasganu Maharaj, these accounts are often too brief, spanning only two or three pages. For a meaningful Parayan, a comprehensive and detailed poetic biography, such as the Shri Sai Satcharita, is necessary.
