What are the main events and themes described in Chapter 44 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 44 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra begins with invocations praising Sai Baba as the embodiment of consciousness and a source of bliss. The chapter then details the events surrounding His passing. It recounts that Baba, knowing His end was near, listened to the Ramayana for fourteen days. As mentioned in Chapter 44, He passed away on Vijayadashami, which led to a 26-hour deliberation between Hindus and Muslims about the final rites and the location of His Samadhi. The text also references a past event where Baba appeared to have died for three days before returning, which caused initial doubt among devotees about whether His final passing was truly permanent.
