Chapter 7 states that Sai Baba lived in a mosque. What Hindu-like activities and features were present in the mosque that made his identity so perplexing?

Chapter 7 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra highlights the paradox of Sai Baba's residence by describing the unusual, Hindu-centric activities that took place within the mosque. While residing in a mosque is typically a Muslim custom, Baba maintained a sacred fire, the Dhuni, which burned day and night—a practice associated with Hindu ascetics. As detailed in this chapter, the mosque also saw the ringing of bells and the blowing of conches, the grinding of grain, offerings to the fire, constant Bhajan, and the ritual washing of His feet by devotees, including the most revered Brahmins. These practices, completely contrary to what one would expect in a mosque, baffled visitors and underscored His unique, syncretic spiritual path.
