The significance of the 'Shri Sai Satcharita' is highlighted in Chapter 0 by placing it in the context of Maharashtra's spiritual literature. The text states that there is a scarcity of ancient, detailed, poetic, and comprehensive Guru biographies suitable for Parayans. It identifies only two prominent works that meet these criteria. The first is the 'Guru Charitra' by Shri Saraswati Gangadhar. The second is the 'Shri Sai Satcharita,' written by Annasaheb Dabholkar about Sai Baba. Its importance, therefore, stems from being one of only two such detailed and grace-filled works available, making it a vital resource for devotees seeking to deeply study the life and teachings of a modern saint.
