What were some of the unusual, seemingly Hindu, practices that took place in the mosque where Sai Baba lived?

📖 Chapter 7

The mosque where Sai Baba resided was unique because it incorporated many practices typically associated with Hindu temples. Chapter 7 details these activities, which stood in stark contrast to the building's function as a mosque. A sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned there constantly, day and night. Furthermore, the sounds of ringing bells and blowing conches, common in Hindu worship, were heard in the mosque. The text also mentions the grinding of grain, offerings to the fire, constant Bhajan (devotional singing), and the ritual washing of feet for worship all taking place there. This blend of practices underscored his transcendence of religious labels.
