Can you elaborate on the immediate aftermath of Sai Baba's passing, specifically concerning the debate over his final resting place and the involvement of different communities?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 44

Immediately after Sai Baba left his body, a significant and lengthy deliberation began among his followers. As detailed in Chapter 44, for a period of twenty-six hours, both his Hindu and Muslim devotees were engaged in a debate about how to give his body its final resting state. The core of the issue was how to plan the Samadhi (tomb) and where it should be located. This process was complicated by the doubt over whether Baba was truly gone or in a deep trance, based on a past event. The chapter mentions that this debate over the final rites eventually led to the selection of the Butti Wada as the Samadhi site, a process which involved an unexpectedly broken brick and tired everyone out.
