According to Chapter 7, Sai Baba treated Hindu and Muslim festivals with equal joy and importance. For the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would arrange for a cradle to be tied in the assembly hall and have Katha and Kirtan performed. On that very same day, he would also give permission for the Muslim Sandal procession to take place with ceremony. The text also mentions that for Gokul Ashtami, he would have Gopal-Kala prepared. Similarly, when Eid arrived, there were no obstacles to Muslim prayers (Namaj). Once, during Moharram, he even permitted some Muslims to construct a Tabut in the Masjid and keep it there for four days, demonstrating his impartial support for all religious celebrations.
