What was the 'Satya-Sai vow' that the Patil started, and what did its recitation involve?

The 'Satya-Sai vow,' as described in Chapter 13, was a tradition started by the Patil to show his continuous gratitude for being cured. It was inspired by the common practice of vowing to perform a Satyanarayan puja to overcome a crisis. The Patil would perform his vow every Thursday. The ritual involved reading specific texts with love and devotion. Instead of the traditional Satyanarayan story, the Patil would read the three chapters dedicated to Sainath from Das Ganu's book, the 'modern Bhaktalilamrut.' These three chapters were considered the 'Satya-Sai story,' and reading them brought the Patil boundless happiness and peace of mind.
