According to Chapter 44 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba, knowing His end was near, engaged in a specific spiritual practice. For fourteen continuous days and nights, He had a Brahmin read the Ramayana to Him, and He listened with focused contemplation. The chapter states that as these two weeks of listening to the Ramayana were completed, the day of Vijayadashami arrived. It was on this auspicious day that Baba attained the state of bodilessness and passed away. Immediately following this, Laxman-mama performed worship and Jog performed the Aarti, marking the beginning of a period of deliberation among the devotees.
