How does Chapter 42 describe the significance of the day of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi, connecting it to different calendars and traditions?

πŸ“– Chapter 42

Chapter 42 meticulously details the timing of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi, highlighting its convergence with several significant dates. It occurred on Vijayadashami in the Shukla Paksha, which is also known as Dussehra. For the Muslim calendar, it was the 9th date, corresponding to the night of 'Kattal,' the eve of Moharram. The chapter also notes a unique perspective, stating that while for some this day was Buddha Jayanti, for devotees, it became Sai's Punya Tithi (death anniversary). The text draws a distinction, observing that what is a birth anniversary for gods is a death anniversary for saints, emphasizing the profound nature of the event as described within this chapter.
