Chapter 5 provides details about Sai Baba's life before the mosque's main transformation, which began around 1912. Prior to his extended stay in the mosque, he lived for a long time in the Takia, a resting place for Fakirs. There, he would engage in devotional expressions by tying bells to his feet, dancing beautifully, and singing sweetly to the rhythm of a small tambourine (khanjiri). This period was marked by his deep love for lighting lamps, a practice that led to the famous miracle with water when shopkeepers denied him oil.
What were some of Baba's activities and where did he live before the mosque was renovated?
