Immediately after Sai Baba's breath left his body, specific rituals were performed, followed by a period of intense deliberation. Chapter 44 recounts that Laxman-mama performed worship, and another devotee, Jog, performed the Aarti with a lamp. Following these initial rites, a significant discussion began that lasted for twenty-six hours. This deliberation involved both Hindu and Muslim devotees who needed to decide how to manage the final resting state of Baba's body. The main points of discussion were how and where to plan the Samadhi (tomb), a process that was filled with uncertainty and required careful consideration from all communities involved.
