What specific objects and activities mentioned in the text highlight the blending of Hindu and Muslim traditions in Sai Baba's mosque?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 provides a rich inventory of items and rituals that exemplify the unique spiritual fusion in Sai Baba's mosque. On the Hindu side, the text explicitly mentions a sacred fire (Dhuni) that burned constantly, the ringing of bells and blowing of conches, offerings to fire, and the continuous performance of Bhajan. The space also contained a specially made Tulsi Vrindavan and a wooden chariot for festival processions. On the Muslim side, Baba resided in a mosque, and He fully permitted and supported Muslim observances. He placed 'no obstacle to their Namaj (prayers)' during Eid and gave permission for some Muslims to make a Tabut for Moharram, even allowing it to be kept for four days. This co-existence of sacred symbols and practices from different faiths in one location powerfully illustrated his message of unity.
