The text mentions that Sai Baba lived in a mosque. What were some of the unusual activities that took place there which were more typical of a Hindu temple?

πŸ“– Chapter 7

Chapter 7 explains that while Sai Baba's residence was a mosque, many activities occurred there that were incongruous with typical mosque practices. The most prominent was the constant burning of a sacred fire, or Dhuni. In addition, the text mentions that the ringing of bells and blowing of conches, both central to Hindu worship, took place in the mosque. Other activities listed include the grinding of grain, constant bhajan singing, offerings to the fire, ritual washing of feet for worship, and the distribution of food. These practices made people question how he could be considered a conventional Muslim, as his dwelling was filled with Hindu forms of worship.
