Chapter 7 details how Sai Baba harmoniously integrated the celebration of both Hindu and Muslim festivals. For the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would have a cradle tied in the assembly hall and arrange for devotional stories and songs (Katha and Kirtan). On that very same night, he would also give permission for the Muslim Sandal procession. The text explicitly states that he conducted both festivals with equal joy. Furthermore, Chapter 7 mentions that for Gokul Ashtami he would have Gopal-Kala prepared, and for the Muslim festival of Eid, there were no obstacles to their prayers (Namaj). He also permitted Muslims to construct a Tabut in the mosque for Moharram.
