How did Sai Baba's passing relate to the Dussehra festival?

Sai Baba taught that the festival of Dussehra represented the auspicious moment for 'Seemollanghan,' which means crossing the border of the ocean of worldly existence. As described in Chapter 42, he did not just suggest this concept; he demonstrated it through his own experience. Baba chose the Dussehra festival of 1918 as the auspicious moment to leave his physical body, offering his pure form as a garment to the fire of Yoga. On this very day, he merged with the Supreme, making that Dussehra the true auspicious moment for his final departure from the earthly realm.
