What were the different religious and cultural significances of the day Sai Baba chose for his Mahasamadhi, as detailed in Chapter 42?

πŸ“– Chapter 42

Chapter 42 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra highlights the multiple significances of the day Sai Baba left his body. The primary date mentioned is Vijayadashami, a major Hindu festival. Concurrently, it was the 9th date of the Muslim month, which the text identifies as the 'night of Kattal,' or the eve of Moharram. The author also notes an interesting parallel, stating that while that day was Buddha Jayanti for some, it became the death anniversary, or Punya Tithi, for Sai's followers. This reflects the idea that the birth anniversary of gods can be the death anniversary of saints.
