According to Chapter 7, the Masjid where Sai Baba lived was a unique space where many activities typical of Hindu worship occurred, which would be highly unusual for a traditional mosque. The text explicitly states that a sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned day and night. Furthermore, the chapter notes that the ringing of bells and blowing of conches, both central to Hindu temple rituals, were practiced there. Other Hindu-style activities mentioned in Chapter 7 that took place in the mosque include the grinding of grain, offerings to the fire, constant Bhajan (devotional singing), the distribution of food, and the ritual washing of feet and worship, demonstrating Baba's inclusive and syncretic spiritual path.
