Sai Baba actively facilitated the celebration of festivals from both Hindu and Muslim traditions with equal joy and enthusiasm. According to Chapter 7, for the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would have a cradle tied in the assembly hall and arrange for Katha and Kirtan. On the very same night, he would also give permission for the Muslim Sandal procession to take place. Similarly, he would have Gopal-Kala prepared for the festival of Gokul Ashtami. For Muslims, Chapter 7 notes that he placed no obstacles on their prayers during Eid and once even permitted a Tabut to be made and kept for four days during Moharram, showing his equal and impartial conduct toward both groups.
Can you explain how Sai Baba demonstrated impartiality by celebrating both Hindu and Muslim festivals in Shirdi?
