AMARTITHI IS A CELEBRATION OF MEHER BABA'S ADVENT
Each year on the 31st of January, followers of Avatar Meher Baba gather to remember Him and His Advent.
The January 31st date marks the day in 1969 when Meher Baba, the deathless one, "dropped His body" and left the physical form. The celebration is called Amartithi.
Amartithi is a Hindi and Marathi word. Literally, amar is deathless; tithi is day. Also, Amartithi is the eternal date or a date with the Eternal One.
