The Tarkhad family exhibited a mix of religious practices, which created a point of conflict. Chapter 9 explains that the son and his mother were supreme devotees of Sai Baba. The son, in particular, was committed to daily ritualistic worship, including offering Naivedya to a photograph of Sai. In contrast, the father, Babasaheb Tarkhad, was a follower of the Prarthana Samaj. This difference became an issue when the son was asked to go to Shirdi. The son's worry, described as a "great puzzle," was that his father, due to his Prarthana Samaj beliefs, would not be the right person to continue the daily idol worship, potentially breaking the sacred routine.
Based on the text, what were the different religious beliefs within the Tarkhad family, and how did this cause an issue?
