Chapter 42 points out that the day of Baba's passing coincided with other important cultural and religious dates. What were they?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra highlights that the day of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi was significant across multiple traditions. The primary observance was the Hindu festival of Vijayadashami (Dussehra). The text explicitly notes that this date corresponded with the 9th day of the Muslim month, known as the night of 'Kattal,' which is the eve of Moharram. Furthermore, it is mentioned that for some people, this same day was also celebrated as Buddha Jayanti. The author uses this convergence to reflect on how the death anniversary of a saint is akin to the birth anniversary of a god, underscoring the universal sanctity of the day.
