What specific events occurred in the days leading up to and immediately after Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi?

According to the chronological account in Chapter 44, Sai Baba, knowing His end was near, prepared for His departure in a unique way. For fourteen days and nights, He listened intently to a Brahmin read the Ramayana. As these two weeks concluded, the day of Vijayadashami arrived, and Baba attained the state of bodilessness. The text states that immediately after His breath left His body, Laxman-mama performed worship and Jog performed the Aarti. This marked the beginning of a 26-hour period where Hindus and Muslims began to deliberate on the final rites.
