What was the immediate reaction from the community after Baba's breath left his body?

Immediately after Sai Baba's breath left his body, there were acts of devotion followed by a period of intense deliberation. Chapter 44 recounts that Laxman-mama performed worship, and Jog conducted the Aarti with a lamp. Following these initial rites, a significant discussion began among the Hindu and Muslim devotees. For the next twenty-six hours, they deliberated on the proper way to handle his final resting state. The main points of discussion were how to plan the Samadhi (tomb) and where its location should be, reflecting the deep reverence both communities held for him.
