Based on the text, was Sai Baba a Hindu or a Muslim?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra emphasizes that Sai Baba could not be confined to a single religious identity. The text states that if he was called a Hindu, he looked like a Yavana (Muslim), and if called a Yavana, he had the noble marks of a Hindu. Contradictions like having pierced ears (a Hindu custom) while also being circumcised are noted. He lived in a mosque, a Muslim practice, yet kept a sacred fire (Dhuni) burning there day and night, a Hindu ritual. The chapter concludes that Sai's incarnation was holy and beyond both classifications.
