Chapter 42 mentions a nuance regarding the lunar day (tithi) during Baba's passing. Can you explain the details provided about Dashami and Ekadashi?

πŸ“– Chapter 42

Chapter 42 delves into the specific timing of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi, highlighting an overlap in the lunar days. The text states that the bell struck at twelve-thirty, at which point the period of the tenth lunar day, Dashami, was officially completed. Immediately after, the eleventh lunar day, Ekadashi, began, and the chapter clarifies that the actual time of Baba's departure was during Ekadashi. However, as Chapter 42 explains, there is a calendrical principle that the tithi active at sunrise is considered the tithi for the day, which in this case was the tithi for Dussehra (Vijayadashami), making the moment highly significant.
