What happened right after Baba passed away regarding his final rites?

The immediate aftermath of Sai Baba's passing was marked by deliberation and differing opinions on how to handle his final rites. Chapter 44 records that after Laxman-mama performed the worship and Jog performed the Aarti, a period of twenty-six hours began. During this time, both Hindus and Muslims began to deliberate on how to give Baba's body its final resting state. The key question that arose was how to plan the Samadhi (tomb) location, indicating a difference of opinion between the communities on the proper procedure for their beloved Guru.
