In Shirdi, Sai Baba established a disciplined daily routine for reading holy books, which Chapter 18 highlights as being of great use to devotees. Bapusaheb Jog was tasked with this Parayana (devotional reading). Every day after his afternoon meal, Jog would go to Baba in the Masjid, bow at his feet, take Udi, and formally receive permission to begin. He would then proceed to Sathe's Wada to read from texts like the Jnaneshwari or Nath Bhagawat, offering explanations of the meaning. Baba would frequently direct devotees who came for his darshan to go to the Wada and listen, making this daily reading a central pillar of spiritual activity in Shirdi.
