Yes, Chapter 42 draws several connections regarding the day of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. The primary day was Vijayadashami (Dussehra) in the bright half of the month. However, the text clarifies a nuance with the lunar day (tithi), noting that while the tithi at sunrise was Dashami, the actual time of his departure occurred after the Ekadashi tithi had begun. The chapter also aligns this date with the 9th day of a Muslim month, corresponding to the night of 'Kattal' or the eve of Moharram. Finally, Chapter 42 makes a poignant observation that while that day was Buddha Jayanti for some, for Sai's devotees it became his death anniversary (Punya Tithi).
Chapter 42 mentions connections between the date of Baba's passing and other significant days. Can you elaborate on these different timings?
