After Sai Baba's passing, what were the immediate reactions and deliberations among the devotees?

Chapter 44 of the Sai Satcharitra details the immediate aftermath of Baba's passing. For twenty-six hours, both Hindu and Muslim devotees were in a state of deliberation about how to handle the final rites for his body. There was considerable confusion and doubt about whether Baba was truly deceased or in a state of Samadhi (trance), especially since he had previously drawn his life force into the crown of his head for three days before returning to his body. This past event made everyone hesitant and anxious, leading to prolonged discussions about the location and plan for the Samadhi.
