Chapter 42 mentions both Dashami and Ekadashi in relation to Baba's passing. Can you clarify the specific Tithi (lunar day) of his departure?

πŸ“– Chapter 42

Chapter 42 provides a nuanced explanation of the Tithi, or lunar day, of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. While the day itself was Vijayadashami (Dussehra), the text clarifies the timing by stating that the period of the Dashami Tithi was completed around 12:30. At that moment, the Ekadashi Tithi dawned, and the chapter confirms that 'the time of departure was Ekadashi.' However, it also explains the convention that the tithi at sunrise is what is considered for the festival day, which is why the day is observed as Dussehra (Dashami), even though the precise moment of Baba's passing fell under the Ekadashi Tithi.
