Chapter 42 mentions both Vijayadashami (Dashami) and Ekadashi in relation to Baba's passing. Can you clarify why both lunar days are mentioned?

πŸ“– Chapter 42

Chapter 42 addresses the specific timing of Baba's Mahasamadhi by explaining the transition between lunar days, or tithis. While the event occurred on the festival day of Vijayadashami, the text clarifies that the Dashami tithi was completed at twelve-thirty. At that precise moment, the Ekadashi tithi began, and it was during this newly dawned Ekadashi that Baba's departure took place. The author of Chapter 42 resolves this by stating that the tithi at sunrise is what determines the festival for the day, which is why it was Dussehra (Vijayadashami), even though the exact moment of passing fell within Ekadashi.
