Chapter 7 provides a detailed account of Sai Baba's impartial and joyous celebration of festivals from both Hindu and Muslim traditions. For the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would have a cradle tied in the assembly hall and arrange for Katha and Kirtan. On that very same night, he would give permission for the Muslim Sandal procession to take place. Similarly, he would have Gopal-Kala prepared for Gokul Ashtami. When the Muslim festival of Moharram arrived, he allowed devotees to make a Tabut and keep it in the mosque for four days, demonstrating his equal regard for all faiths.
Describe how Sai Baba fostered religious harmony by equally celebrating both Hindu and Muslim festivals in Shirdi.
