Can you elaborate on the specific calendrical and chronological details of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi mentioned in Chapter 42, including any noted complexities?

Chapter 42 provides a multi-layered chronological description of Baba's passing. It occurred in the Shaka year 1840, during the first month of the sun's southern transit (Dakshinayan). The day was Vijayadashami, a significant Hindu festival. Concurrently, it was the 9th day of the Muslim month, the eve of Moharram, referred to as the night of 'Kattal'. The chapter adds a layer of complexity by noting a nuance in the lunar day (tithi). While the day was celebrated as Dussehra (Vijayadashami), the bell struck at twelve-thirty, marking the completion of the Dashami period. At the moment of Baba's departure, the Ekadashi tithi had technically dawned, even though the sunrise tithi for the day was Dashami. This detailed account in Chapter 42 highlights the convergence of multiple significant timings.
