Sai Baba placed great importance on the daily reading of two main books: the Jnaneshwari, also known as the Bhavartha Deepika, and the Nath Bhagawat, which is the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat. As detailed in Chapter 18, Baba believed these were divinely inspired texts essential for the salvation of souls and the welfare of his devotees. He considered the dialogue between Krishna and Uddhava in the Nath Bhagawat to be even better than the one between Krishna and Arjuna in the Gita. The purpose of these readings was to help devotees attain God, and Baba would assign individuals like Sakharam Hari Jog to conduct these readings in Sathe's Wada for the benefit of all.
