I heard the day Baba left his body was significant in multiple calendars. What does Chapter 42 say about this?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 42

Chapter 42 highlights the multifaceted significance of the day Sai Baba attained Mahasamadhi. The primary date mentioned is Vijayadashami (Dussehra), a major Hindu festival, in the Shaka year 1840. The text adds that this day corresponded to the 9th date of the Muslim month, which is described as the night of 'Kattal' or the eve of Moharram. Furthermore, it points out an interesting overlap, stating that for some people, this same day was also observed as Buddha Jayanti. As this chapter explains, the day of a saint's passing is their death anniversary (Punya Tithi), which is spiritually akin to the birth anniversary of a god.
