Both Hindus and Muslims worshipped Baba.
Sai's stories are never ending. But i restrict it to the period when Baba lived in Shirdi and interacted with his devotees. Many were fortunate to visit Shirdi and take Dharsan of Baba at Dwarakamai and Chavadi. Baba was most compassionate with all. When some Muslim devotees started taking sandal powder along with the streets of Shirdi, he has encouraged the idea. It was the tredition among Muslims to carry sandal powder in plates and go in procession in honour of Allah. They carried the sandal powder inside the Chavadi and Masudi. Baba encouraged people to recite the verses of koran in front of him. Mysteriously, the sandal powder procession coincided with Rama navami celebrations. Though no effort has been made to celeberate Ramanavami in the presence of Baba, subsequent developments heralded the commencement of Ramanavami celebrations in the mosque. Both the processions of Muslim devotees and decorated flag processions took place on the same day without any trouble. Saibaba came to unite both the communities. Today Baba is worshipped by all communities and everybody reap the benefits from Sai. Only when Baba left his mortal coil on 15 Oct 1918, there was some difference of opinion regarding the place of internment of his body. But finally every body agreed to intern Baba in Buti mandir. Sairam.
