According to the details provided in Chapter 18, Sai Baba placed great importance on the daily reading of certain scriptures for the spiritual benefit of his followers. The two main books mentioned are the Bhagavad Gita and the Nath Bhagawat, which is the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat containing the dialogue between Krishna and Uddhava. Additionally, Jnandeva's Bhavartha Deepika, also known as the Jnaneshwari, was read daily. Baba assigned the task of reading and explaining these texts to his devoted disciple, Sakharam Hari Jog (Bapusaheb Jog). These readings, or Parayana, took place in Sathe’s Wada and were a significant opportunity for the spiritual growth of the devotees who were often sent by Baba to listen.
