Chapter 44 recounts the events that unfolded right after Sai Baba's breath left his body. It is mentioned that Laxman-mama performed worship and Jog performed the Aarti with a lamp. Following this, a period of twenty-six hours began where both Hindu and Muslim devotees started to deliberate on how to handle the final rites and where to plan the Samadhi, or tomb.
