Describe the paradox of Sai Baba living in a mosque while allowing Hindu rituals to occur there.

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 highlights a significant paradox about Sai Baba's dwelling. Although he resided in a mosque, a Muslim place of worship, it was filled with activities typically associated with Hindu temples. The text explicitly states that a sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned there day and night. Inside this mosque, there was the ringing of bells and the blowing of conches, the grinding of grain, constant Bhajan (devotional singing), offerings to fire, and even the ritual washing of feet and worship by devotees. This blending of traditions was so profound that the text questions how he could be considered a Muslim when his home was a hub for so many Hindu practices.
