What sacred books did Sai Baba have his devotees read in Shirdi, and what was their significance?

πŸ“– Chapter 18

According to the narrative in Chapter 18, Sai Baba placed great importance on the reading of several sacred texts for the spiritual welfare of his devotees. The two main books mentioned are the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat. Specifically, devotees were instructed to read Jnandeva's commentary on the Gita, known as Jnaneshwari or Bhavartha Deepika, and the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat, referred to as Nath Bhagawat. The text describes the Uddhava Gita as a divinely inspired book where God manifests, and it even suggests the dialogue within it between Krishna and Uddhava is superior to the one in the Bharata. These readings were a central part of the daily routine Baba established for his followers.
