Chapter 7 highlights the unique nature of the mosque where Sai Baba resided, as it was filled with activities and items typically associated with Hindu temples. The text explicitly states that a sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned there day and night. The mosque also housed a grinding stone and a winnowing fan for grain. Most surprisingly, it was a place where bells were rung and conches were blown, Bhajan (Hindu devotional songs) were sung, offerings were made to the fire, and ritual washing of feet and worship occurred. The chapter even mentions a beautiful Tulsi Vrindavan, an altar for the holy basil plant, was present in the assembly hall.
