What were the various significant religious and calendar events that coincided with the day of Sai Baba's Mahasamadhi?

πŸ“– Chapter 42

Chapter 42 of the Sai Satcharitra highlights that the day of Sai Baba's passing was a confluence of several significant events. It took place on Vijayadashami (Dussehra). For the Muslim community, it was the 9th date of the month, which is described as the night of 'Kattal', the eve of Moharram. The text also notes that for some people, this same day was observed as Buddha Jayanti. The chapter further explains a nuance in the Hindu lunar calendar, stating that although the period of Dashami ended at 12:30 PM, the time of Baba's departure was technically on Ekadashi, even though the day is known as Dussehra based on the tithi at sunrise.
