As detailed in Chapter 44, a period of uncertainty and deliberation followed the moment Sai Baba's breath left His body. Immediately after, Laxman-mama performed worship, and Jog conducted the Aarti with a lamp. However, for the next twenty-six hours, both Hindu and Muslim devotees were embroiled in discussions about how to perform the final rites and where to place the Samadhi. This uncertainty was fueled by a past event from 32 years prior, where Baba had seemingly passed away but then returned to his body after three days. This memory made everyone doubtful whether this was a temporary trance or actual death, causing great anxiety.
