What is the significance of the various calendrical and religious dates mentioned in Chapter 42 in relation to Sai Baba's passing?

Chapter 42 meticulously documents the timing of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi by referencing multiple calendars, underscoring its universal significance. The event occurred on Vijayadashami, a major Hindu festival, in the Shaka year 1840. The text highlights the confluence of faiths by noting this was also the 9th day of a Muslim month, the night of 'Kattal' (the eve of Moharram). Chapter 42 further clarifies a nuance in the Hindu lunar calendar, explaining that although the day was Dussehra (Dashami), the actual moment of departure at twelve-thirty marked the beginning of the Ekadashi tithi. This detailed account emphasizes the profound and multi-faceted importance of the day.
