The provided excerpts from Chapter 0 do not detail any specific spiritual practices or mantras taught by the Maharashtrian saints. While the text mentions famous poets like Shri Mahipati and Shri Dasganu Maharaj who wrote biographies of these saints, it focuses on the literary tradition rather than the saints' specific teachings. It highlights that their works, such as Shri Bhaktalilamrut, are collections of brief biographies, often only a few pages long, making them unsuitable for a detailed study or 'Parayan' of a single saint. The chapter primarily serves as an introduction to the concept of Guru biographies and their use for worldly (Kamya) or selfless (Nishkam) purposes, not as a repository of specific spiritual instructions.
