Chapter 42 mentions several different events and calendar dates coinciding with the day Baba passed away. Can you explain what these were?

Yes, Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra details the convergence of several significant dates on the day of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. The primary Hindu observance was Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra. Concurrently, according to the Muslim calendar, it was the 9th day of the month, which is the eve of Moharram, referred to as the night of 'Kattal'. The chapter also mentions that for some people, this particular day was considered Buddha Jayanti. Furthermore, there's a specific clarification regarding the lunar day (tithi), noting that while the Dashami tithi ended around 12:30 PM and Ekadashi began, the day's official tithi is determined by the one active at sunrise, thus confirming it as Dussehra.
