Describe the disagreement that arose among Baba's followers concerning what to do with his body after his passing.

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 43

Following Baba's departure, a significant disagreement arose regarding the final rites for his body, leading to a twenty-six-hour deliberation. As detailed in Chapter 43, different factions proposed conflicting plans. One group insisted that Hindus should not touch the body and that it should be taken to a Muslim cemetery. Another group, including Khushalchand and Amir Shakkar, suggested placing the body in the open and building a tomb over it. The resolution came from Patil Ramachandra, a village official, who firmly insisted on following Baba's own words: "Let this body stay in the Wada." This ultimately decided the matter, and his body was placed in the grand mansion built by Butti.
