Sai Baba ensured that major festivals of both Hindus and Muslims were celebrated with equal joy and enthusiasm. As described in Chapter 7, during the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would personally arrange for a cradle to be tied in the assembly hall and have devotional stories and songs (Katha and Kirtan) performed. On the same night, he would also give permission for the Muslim Sandal procession to take place with ceremony. Similarly, for Gokul Ashtami, he would have the Gopal-Kala prepared. When Eid arrived, he made sure there were no obstacles to the Namaj (prayers), and he even permitted Muslims to construct and keep a Tabut in the mosque for four days during Moharram.
Can you explain how Sai Baba celebrated both Hindu and Muslim festivals in Shirdi?
