The events leading up to the prophesied day were filled with anxiety. As Chapter 42 describes, when the predicted time in Shaka year 1840 arrived, Tatyaba fell ill with a fever and was bedridden. Interestingly, as Tatya's physical agonies increased, Baba himself "felt tremors," and his own groaning and gasping "increased twofold day by day." His illness also became uncontrollable. On the foretold day of Dashami, Tatya's pulse weakened, and it seemed he was on the verge of death, fulfilling Baba's words. However, a wonder occurred, and Tatya's life-danger passed. This parallel suffering suggests a deep, mysterious connection between Baba's and Tatya's fates.
How did the events surrounding Tatya's prophesied death unfold, and what was Sai Baba's condition during that same period?
