What sacred texts were read in Shirdi at Sai Baba's behest, and who was responsible for the readings?

Sai Baba placed great importance on the daily reading of specific sacred texts for the spiritual welfare of his devotees. As detailed in Chapter 18, the primary books were the Jnaneshwari, also known as the Bhavartha Deepika, and the Nath Bhagawat, which is the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat and contains the dialogue between Krishna and Uddhava. Baba considered these divinely inspired books essential for salvation. He assigned the task of daily reading to Sakharam Hari Jog, also called Bapusaheb Jog. These readings, which took place in Sathe’s Wada, were a great opportunity for devotees to immerse themselves in spiritual wisdom.
