Sai Baba placed great importance on specific sacred texts for the spiritual welfare of his devotees. As detailed in Chapter 18, he assigned Bapusaheb Jog to conduct daily readings, or 'Parayana', in Sathe’s Wada. The two main books mentioned are the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat. Specifically, devotees were instructed to read the commentary on the Gita known as Jnaneshwari or Bhavartha Deepika, and the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat, referred to as Nath Bhagawat. Baba considered these divinely inspired books and would often send devotees to listen to the readings, which frequently provided confirmation of stories he had just told them.
