Sai Baba embraced festivals from both Hindu and Muslim traditions with equal enthusiasm, as detailed in Chapter 7 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra. For the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would have a cradle placed in the mosque's courtyard for Katha and Kirtan performances. On that very same night, he would also grant permission for the Muslim Sandal procession to be held with full ceremony. The chapter also mentions that he organized wrestling matches for Ram Navami, had Gopal-Kala prepared for Gokul Ashtami, and allowed Muslims to perform Namaj during Eid. This impartial approach demonstrated his universal love and respect for all paths.
