Was there anything special about the day Sai Baba passed away? The text mentions a few different holidays.

According to Chapter 42, the day of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi was highly significant and marked by a confluence of important dates from different traditions. The primary day mentioned is Vijayadashami (Dussehra), a major Hindu festival. The text also points out that for some, this same day was Buddha Jayanti. In the Islamic calendar, it was the 9th date of the month, known as the night of 'Kattal,' which is the eve of Moharram. The chapter also specifies a detail about the lunar timing, noting that while the day began as Dashami, the period of Dashami was completed at twelve-thirty, and the Ekadashi tithi had dawned, making the time of his departure fall on Ekadashi.
