Which sacred books were regularly read in Shirdi under Sai Baba's guidance, and why did he encourage this practice?

πŸ“– Chapter 18

According to Chapter 18, Sai Baba placed great importance on the daily reading of several sacred texts in Shirdi. The main books mentioned are the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat. Specifically, devotees read Jnaneshwar's commentary on the Gita, known as Jnaneshwari or Bhavartha Deepika, and the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat, referred to as Nath Bhagawat or Uddhava Gita. Baba encouraged this practice out of a desire for the welfare of his followers and for the salvation of their souls. He would assign devotees like Bapusaheb Jog to conduct these readings, known as Parayana, and would even send other visitors to the Wada to listen, ensuring they benefited from the spiritual instruction.
