Can you explain how Sai Baba celebrated both Hindu and Muslim festivals at the same time in Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 details how Sai Baba harmoniously blended Hindu and Muslim celebrations. A prime example is the festival of Ram Navami. Baba himself would have it celebrated with a cradle tied in the assembly hall for Katha and Kirtan performances. On that very same night, he would also give permission for the Sandal procession, a Muslim tradition, to be held with ceremony. The chapter notes that he conducted both festivals with equal joy. It also mentions his support for wrestling matches during Ram Navami, Gopal-Kala for Gokul Ashtami, and allowing Namaj during Eid, demonstrating his impartial reverence for different faiths.
