It seems the day Baba left his body was significant in multiple calendars. Can you list all the different timings and observances that coincided on that day, according to Chapter 42?

📖 Chapter 42

Yes, Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra highlights that the day of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi was marked by several significant observances across different traditions. According to the text, it was the Shaka year 1840. In the Hindu calendar, it was Vijayadashami (Dussehra), a day in the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha). From the perspective of the Islamic calendar, it was the 9th date of the month, which is the eve of Moharram, referred to as the night of 'Kattal'. The chapter also mentions that for some, this same day was observed as Buddha Jayanti. This convergence of dates underscores the universal nature of Baba's presence and passing.
