According to the account in Chapter 44, the immediate aftermath of Sai Baba's passing was marked by intense deliberation rather than immediate action. For a period of twenty-six hours, both Hindu and Muslim followers were engaged in discussions. The main points of their debate, as mentioned in the chapter, were twofold: how to properly give the body its final resting state, and where to plan the location for the Samadhi, or tomb. This period of deliberation was fueled by the collective doubt about the finality of his death, given a past miracle where he had returned to life after appearing to be dead for three days.
What was the immediate reaction of the devotees after Baba's breath left his body, and what were they deliberating?
