What happened immediately after Sai Baba passed away, and what was the main point of contention?

As described in Chapter 44, immediately after Sai Baba's breath left his body, Laxman-mama performed worship and Jog performed the Aarti with the lamp. Following these initial rites, a period of intense deliberation began that lasted for twenty-six hours. The main point of contention was between the Hindu and Muslim devotees regarding the final resting state of Baba's body. They needed to decide how to plan the Samadhi (tomb), but this was complicated by the collective memory of Baba's previous three-day samadhi, which made many question if he was truly and permanently gone.
