Chapter 7 illustrates Sai Baba's impartial and inclusive approach to religious festivals. For the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would personally arrange for the celebration, which included tying a cradle in the assembly hall and organizing Katha and Kirtan (devotional stories and songs). The chapter also notes his fondness for organizing wrestling matches on this day, with prizes awarded with great enthusiasm. In a display of equal respect, when some Muslims approached him during Moharram, he gave them permission to construct a Tabut (a tomb replica) and even allowed it to be kept in the mosque for four days, demonstrating his unbiased support for both communities' traditions.
