Chapter 7 details how Sai Baba actively facilitated and participated in festivals of both Hindu and Muslim communities with equal joy, showcasing his impartial nature. For the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would have a cradle tied in the assembly hall and arrange for kirtan. On the very same day, he would grant permission for the Muslim Sandal procession to take place. The text also mentions that he organized wrestling matches for Ram Navami. Similarly, for Gokul Ashtami, he would have Gopal-Kala prepared. When it came to Muslim festivals, there was no obstacle to their Namaj (prayers) during Eid, and he once allowed some followers to make a Tabut for Moharram and keep it in the mosque for four days. This equal encouragement of both traditions is presented as a key aspect of his character.
Can you explain how Sai Baba demonstrated his impartiality towards different religions through the celebration of festivals?
