What role do Parayans and Saptahs play in the service of a Sadguru, and how was the Shri Sai Satcharita developed for this purpose?

Performing Parayans and Saptahs, which are devotional readings of a saint's biography, is a key form of service a Sadguru accepts from a congregation of devotees. As described in Chapter 0, this practice allows both the writer and the readers to serve the Guru and achieve their life's purpose. The Shri Sai Satcharita, written by Annasaheb Dabholkar, was specifically developed to be suitable for this community practice. It is described as a sweet, inspirational, and grace-filled biography that was published chapter by chapter over six years, culminating in a complete work ideal for study and Parayans.
