How does Chapter 42 describe the date of Baba's passing using different calendar systems?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 presents the date of Sai Baba's passing using multiple calendar references. It states the event occurred on Vijayadashami in the Shaka year 1840, which corresponded to the 9th date of the Muslim month, the night of 'Kattal' (eve of Moharram). The chapter notes a complexity with the Hindu lunar day (tithi), explaining that while the bell struck at twelve-thirty, completing the Dashami period, the actual time of departure fell during Ekadashi. However, it clarifies that the tithi at sunrise, which was Dashami, is the one considered for the observance of Dussehra.
