This parayan is done for eight days, on the first day after offering puja in Samadhi Mandhir , Satcharitra is taken in a procession through out the streets of Shirdi village. They reach the venue where the Parayan is to be held. Samuhik Parayan usually begins with the priest from the Shirdi Sai Sansthan reciting pothi from a specially erected podium.
