Chapter 42 details the unique convergence of different calendrical and religious events on the day of Baba's Mahasamadhi. The primary day was Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra. Concurrently, it was the 9th day of the Muslim month, marking the eve of Moharram ('Kattal'). The text highlights a specific astronomical detail: although the tithi at sunrise made the day Dussehra (Dashami), Baba's actual time of departure was at twelve-thirty in the afternoon. By this time, the lunar day of Ekadashi had already commenced. Therefore, his passing occurred on Vijayadashami but during the Ekadashi tithi.
Chapter 42 mentions a calendrical complexity regarding the day Baba passed. Can you explain the different tithis and festivals that coincided on that day?
