Chapter 7 describes Sai Baba's residence as a mosque. What paradoxical, Hindu-style activities took place there?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 highlights the unique and paradoxical nature of Sai Baba's residence, which was a mosque but featured many practices typically associated with Hindu temples. The text explicitly asks how he could be considered a Muslim when a sacred fire, or Dhuni, burnt day and night within the mosque. Furthermore, the chapter notes that the ringing of bells and blowing of conches, both central to Hindu worship, occurred there. Other Hindu rituals mentioned include the offering to fire, constant Bhajan (devotional singing), and the ritual washing of feet and worship. This blend of traditions was so powerful that even the most devout Brahmins would come to this mosque to worship him.
