The devotional readings, or Parayana, led by Bapusaheb Jog were a vital part of the daily spiritual life in Shirdi, established for the welfare of the devotees. As detailed in Chapter 18, Jog's daily routine involved going to Baba after his afternoon meal to bow, take Udi, and receive permission to begin the reading. With great joy, he would then go to Sathe's Wada and commence the Parayana, reading from either the 'Jnaneshwari' or 'Nath Bhagawat' and providing explanations of the meaning. This opportunity was of great use to the community of devotees, and Baba himself underscored its importance by frequently directing people who came to see him to go to the Wada and listen to the reading.
