According to Chapter 7, Sai Baba treated both Hindu and Muslim festivals with equal joy and impartiality. For the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, He would have a cradle placed in the courtyard and arrange for devotional stories and songs (Katha and Kirtan). That same night, He would also give permission for the Muslim Sandal procession to take place. The text also notes that He organized wrestling matches for Ram Navami and had Gopal-Kala prepared for Gokul Ashtami. Similarly, when the Muslim festival of Moharram arrived, He permitted some followers to make a Tabut and hold a procession, demonstrating His equal reverence for both traditions.
