Chapter 7 provides a compelling list of activities in the mosque that challenged the notion of Sai Baba being a conventional Muslim. While He resided in a mosque, it housed a sacred fire (Dhuni) that burned day and night. The chapter recounts that in this mosque, there was the ringing of bells and blowing of conches, offerings to fire, constant Bhajan (devotional singing), the grinding of grain, and even ritual foot washing and worship. These practices, more aligned with Hindu traditions, baffled observers and demonstrated that Baba's dwelling was a place of worship that transcended religious boundaries.
What activities took place in the mosque where Sai Baba lived that contradicted traditional Islamic practices, as described in Chapter 7?
