The text mentions some complexity regarding the lunar day (tithi) when Baba passed away. Can you explain this?

πŸ“– Chapter 42

Yes, Chapter 42 clarifies a nuance regarding the lunar day of Sai Baba's passing. While the day is widely recognized as Vijayadashami or Dussehra, the text specifies that the Dashami tithi (the tenth lunar day) was actually completed at 12:30 PM. Following this, the Ekadashi tithi (the eleventh lunar day) began. Therefore, the actual moment of Baba's departure occurred during the Ekadashi tithi. However, the chapter explains that the tithi prevailing at sunrise is the one considered for the day's festival, which is why the day is still referred to as Dussehra. This detail highlights the precise recording of events surrounding his Mahasamadhi.
