Chapter 7 highlights a significant paradox regarding Sai Baba's life: though he resided in a mosque, many practices typical of a Hindu temple occurred there under his guidance. The text explicitly states that a sacred fire, or Dhuni, burnt day and night in the mosque. Additionally, the sounds of ringing bells and blowing conches, central to Hindu worship, were heard. The chapter also mentions the grinding of grain, offerings to fire, constant Bhajan (devotional singing), and even the ritual washing of his feet in worship by devotees, including high-caste Brahmins. These activities created a unique environment that defied conventional religious labels.
