In Shirdi, Sai Baba designated the daily reading of two main sacred books: the Jnaneshwari, also known as Bhavartha Deepika, and the Nath Bhagawat, which is the eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat. As detailed in Chapter 18, Baba assigned this important task to a devoted disciple named Bapusaheb Jog. Every day, this reading took place in Sathe’s Wada, becoming a significant opportunity for devotees. Jog would follow a disciplined routine, seeking Baba's permission after his afternoon meal before commencing the Parayana, or devotional reading, for the benefit of all who were sent to listen.
