Chapter 42 mentions several different calendar dates for Baba's passing. How does the text explain this convergence of dates?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 presents a detailed and somewhat complex timeline for Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi by referencing multiple calendars. It states the event occurred on Vijayadashami in the Shaka year 1840, which was also the 9th day of the Muslim month of Moharram. The text then adds a layer of precision, noting that the Dashami tithi (lunar day) completed at twelve-thirty in the afternoon, and the actual moment of Baba's departure fell during the Ekadashi tithi. The chapter also observes that for some, this day was Buddha Jayanti. By presenting all these concurrent dates, as sourced from Chapter 42, the text doesn't so much reconcile them as it presents them as a confluence of significant moments, highlighting the profound nature of the event.
