Chapter 42 provides a very precise explanation of the lunar day (tithi) during Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. The text states that the day was Vijayadashami (Dussehra), which corresponds to the tenth lunar day, or Dashami. However, it clarifies that the period of the Dashami tithi was completed at twelve-thirty in the afternoon. Immediately following this, the eleventh lunar day, Ekadashi, dawned. Therefore, as Chapter 42 meticulously records, while the sunrise tithi for Dussehra was Dashami, the actual moment of Sainath's departure occurred during the Ekadashi tithi, highlighting the precise astrological and temporal details surrounding this significant event.
The text mentions a discrepancy between the Dussehra tithi and the tithi of Baba's departure. How does Chapter 42 explain the timing in relation to Dashami and Ekadashi?
