Chapter 42 mentions some interesting overlaps regarding the date of Sai Baba's passing. What were these and what philosophical point was made about the death anniversary of saints?

Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides a nuanced account of the day Sai Baba left his body. It highlights that the day, Vijayadashami, was also considered Buddha Jayanti by some. This creates a contrast, as for some it was a day of birth celebration, but for Sai's followers, it became his Punya Tithi, or death anniversary. The chapter makes a profound philosophical statement by noting, "The birth anniversary of gods is the death anniversary of saints." This suggests that for a saint, leaving the mortal coil is a form of birth into a higher, eternal state. The text also clarifies a calendrical detail: though Dussehra is determined by the tithi at sunrise, Baba's departure occurred after Dashami ended and Ekadashi had begun.
