Chapter 42 mentions multiple calendar and religious timings coinciding with Baba's passing. What were these different observations?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 provides a detailed convergence of different time-keeping systems related to Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. It occurred on Vijayadashami, a major Hindu festival, during the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). The text points out a nuance in the lunar day (tithi), noting that while the day is considered for Dussehra, the actual moment of departure was after 12:30, when the Ekadashi tithi had begun. Concurrently, it was the 9th day of a Muslim month, corresponding to the night of 'Kattal,' the eve of Moharram. The chapter also notes that for some, the day was Buddha Jayanti, highlighting the multifaceted significance of this date.
