What were the various religious and calendrical observances that coincided with the day Sai Baba left his mortal body, according to Chapter 42?

📖 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 highlights the unique convergence of several significant dates on the day of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi. For Hindus, it was the important festival of Vijayadashami. The text also notes that for some people, this same day was considered Buddha Jayanti. From the perspective of the Islamic calendar, it was the 9th day of the month, which is the eve of Moharram, referred to as the night of 'Kattal.' The chapter also delves into a technical calendrical point, noting that while the tithi at sunrise was Dashami (for Dussehra), the actual moment of Baba's departure fell as the Ekadashi tithi was dawning.
