Chapter 42 mentions both Vijayadashami (Dashami) and Ekadashi in relation to Baba's passing. How does the text explain this specific timing?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 offers a precise clarification on the timing of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi, which involved two different lunar days (tithis). The text states that while the day itself was Vijayadashami (also known as Dussehra, which is the Dashami tithi), the actual moment of Baba's departure from his body occurred after the Dashami period had ended for the day. As mentioned in the chapter, the bell struck at twelve-thirty in the afternoon, at which point the Ekadashi tithi had just dawned. Therefore, although the calendar day was Dashami, the exact time of his passing fell within the Ekadashi tithi.
