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.
This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the date in 1969 when Meher Baba, the deathless One, dropped His body and left the physical form. The celebration is called Amartithi.
