How did Sai Baba use the celebration of festivals to foster unity between Hindus and Muslims?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 details how Sai Baba actively promoted inter-religious harmony through festivals. He would have the Hindu festival of Ram Navami celebrated with a cradle, katha, and kirtan in the mosque's courtyard. On the very same night, he would grant permission for the Muslim Sandal procession to take place with full ceremony. The text explicitly states that he conducted both festivals with "equal joy." Similarly, he arranged for Gopal-Kala on Gokul Ashtami and ensured there were no obstacles to Muslim prayers (Namaj) during Eid. He even allowed a Tabut to be made and kept in the mosque for four days during Moharram, demonstrating his impartial and unifying approach.
