What specific practices and objects within the mosque where Sai Baba lived challenged the conventional understanding of it as a purely Islamic place of worship?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra details several elements within the mosque that contradicted its exclusive identity as a Muslim place of worship. While Sai Baba resided in a mosque, a sacred fire, known as a Dhuni, burned there day and night, which is a Hindu custom. Furthermore, the mosque was a place where grain was ground, bells were rung, and conches were blown. Offerings were made to the fire, Bhajans were constantly sung, and even the ritual washing of feet and worship occurred—all practices strongly associated with Hindu traditions, making the Dwarkamai a unique and syncretic spiritual center.
