How did Sai Baba manage to celebrate both Hindu and Muslim festivals in Shirdi? Give me some examples from the text.

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra beautifully illustrates how Sai Baba harmoniously blended Hindu and Muslim traditions, treating them with equal joy. For instance, the text describes that on the day of Ram Navami, a major Hindu festival, He would have a cradle tied and arrange for devotional stories and songs. On that very same night, He would also grant permission for the Sandal procession, a Muslim custom. The chapter also mentions that He would organize wrestling matches for Ram Navami, have Gopal-Kala prepared for Gokul Ashtami, and ensure there were no obstacles to Muslim prayers (Namaj) during Eid.
