Chapter 7 highlights how Sai Baba's residence, a mosque, was a place of highly unconventional activity that blended Hindu and Muslim traditions. While it was a mosque, the text questions how he could be a Muslim when numerous Hindu rituals occurred there. A sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned day and night. The sounds of ringing bells and blowing conches, staples of Hindu temple worship, were heard. Furthermore, offerings were made to the fire, bhajans were sung, food was distributed, and ritual washing of feet took place within its walls. These details from Chapter 7 show that Baba transformed the mosque into a unique spiritual center that transcended religious norms.
