How did devotees like Das Ganu learn about Sai Baba's passing?

The news of Sai Baba's passing was communicated through both supernatural and conventional means. As detailed in Chapter 42, on the very night Baba left his body, he appeared to Das Ganu in a dream at Pandharpur. In this vision, Baba cryptically said, 'The Mosque has collapsed... I am leaving that place and have come here,' and asked to be covered in flowers. This mystical experience was immediately confirmed when a physical letter arrived from Shirdi bearing the news of Baba's Samadhi. The combination of the dream and the letter prompted Das Ganu to travel to Shirdi without delay to perform Kirtan and pay his respects.
