Chapter 43 mentions a prior incident where people thought Sai Baba had died. What details does the chapter provide about this event?

πŸ“– Chapter 43

Chapter 43 recounts a specific and remarkable incident that occurred before Sai Baba's final Mahasamadhi. In this event, Baba raised his "life breath to the crown of his head (Brahmarandhra) for three days." During this period, he was completely motionless, which led some people to conclude that he had actually died and that this was not a state of yogic Samadhi. As the text from Chapter 43 explains, they were so convinced of his death that "preparations for the final rites were made." The situation took a startling turn when Baba "suddenly returned to his body," causing the people to be "startled in their hearts." This story is included to illustrate the incomprehensible nature of a great yogi's power and control over life and death.
