خلفية ثقافية
In the Warkari tradition, 'Shravana' (listening) is the primary way to connect with the divine. Devotees walk for miles listening to 'Abhangas'. Many Marathi medium schools have 'Savadh Aikave' written on the walls of the library or assembly hall as a guiding principle. In modern Pune or Mumbai offices, a senior manager might use this phrase during a 'Town Hall' to signal that a major policy change is being announced. Grandparents often use this phrase when telling 'Bodh-katha' (moral stories) to grandchildren to ensure the moral is understood.
