Sai Baba's approach to religious festivals was one of inclusive and joyous participation. Chapter 7 details how he actively organized and encouraged the celebration of festivals from both Hindu and Muslim traditions. For the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would arrange for a cradle, kirtan, and even wrestling matches with prizes. Concurrently, he would also permit the Muslim Sandal procession on the same day. Similarly, for the Muslim festival of Moharram, he once gave permission for a Tabut to be made and kept in the Masjid for four days. He treated festivals like Gokul Ashtami and Eid with the same equanimity, showing no obstacle to any form of prayer or celebration.
