Based on Chapter 44, what were the immediate reactions and debates among the Hindu and Muslim communities following Sai Baba's passing?

📖 Chapter 44

Chapter 44 details the immediate aftermath of Sai Baba leaving His physical body. After the initial worship and Aarti were performed, a prolonged period of deliberation began, lasting for twenty-six hours. This discussion involved both Hindu and Muslim devotees who were trying to decide on the proper course of action for Baba's final rites. The central point of debate, as the chapter puts it, was how to plan the Samadhi (tomb) location. This uncertainty and debate were so intense that everyone grew tired. The core issue was the doubt about whether Baba was truly gone or merely in a deep trance, a confusion that paralyzed immediate action and led to extensive discussions about how to proceed.
