What does Chapter 44 reveal about the events that transpired immediately after Sai Baba passed away?

Chapter 44 provides a detailed account of the immediate aftermath of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. Following His passing, a period of intense deliberation began, lasting for twenty-six hours. As the text of Chapter 44 explains, both Hindu and Muslim devotees were involved in discussions about how to give Baba's body its final resting state and where the Samadhi should be located. The situation was complicated by a collective memory of a prior event, 32 years earlier, when Baba had seemed to pass away for three days before returning to His body. This created doubt and anxiety, making everyone question whether this was a temporary trance (Samadhi) or actual death. This confusion and the subsequent discussions are a central focus of the events described in Chapter 44.
