Chapter 42 mentions both Vijayadashami (Dashami) and Ekadashi in relation to Baba's passing. Can you clarify this?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 addresses the specific timing of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi with great precision. It states that the day was Vijayadashami, which is the tenth lunar day (Dashami). However, it clarifies that the bell struck twelve-thirty, at which point the period of Dashami was completed and the next lunar day, Ekadashi, had dawned. Therefore, while the day itself is considered Dussehra (Vijayadashami) based on the tithi at sunrise, the actual moment of Baba's departure occurred during the Ekadashi tithi. This detailed explanation from Chapter 42 highlights the importance of the exact astrological timing.
