You've observed a key paradox described in Chapter 7 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra. Although Sai Baba's residence was a mosque, it hosted numerous activities typically associated with Hindu worship. The text explicitly mentions that a sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned there day and night. Furthermore, the mosque was a place where bells were rung and conches were blown, practices common in temples. The chapter also states that there was constant Bhajan (devotional singing), offerings to the sacred fire, and even the ritual washing of Baba's feet in worship. This unique blend of customs in the mosque served to demonstrate that Baba was beyond conventional religious definitions.
Chapter 7 says Baba lived in a mosque, but it sounds more like a Hindu temple. What activities happened there?
