Inspired by Baba's blessings, Hemadpant began gathering stories, teachings, and miracles from devotees. He wrote in the Marathi Ovi verse form, a rhythmic poetic style accessible to all. Sai Baba's direct words guided him: "If My leelas are written, ignorance will vanish; waves of devotion and love will rise. Whoever dives deep into them will obtain precious jewels of wisdom." Hemadpant continued this divine task during Baba's lifetime, recording not just events but the bhava (devotional essence) behind them. The original Marathi edition was published in 1930, and since then, Shri Sai Satcharitra has been translated into all major Indian languages — English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Gujarati, and others.
