As detailed in Chapter 7, Sai Baba actively fostered communal harmony by integrating the celebrations of different faiths. For the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would have a cradle tied in the assembly hall and arrange for Katha and Kirtan (devotional stories and songs). He also had a fondness for organizing wrestling matches, with prizes like horses and turbans given out enthusiastically. For the Muslim observance of Moharram, when some followers wished to create a Tabut (a replica of a tomb), Baba gave his immediate permission. He even allowed the Tabut to be kept in the mosque for four days, showing no partiality and demonstrating equal respect for their traditions.
