You are invited to Meher Mount on Monday, July 10, 2023, from Noon to 5:00 p.m., for the open house in honor of Avatar Meher Baba and Silence Day.
Silence Day is an opportunity for personal, inward moments with the Divine on this land blessed by Meher Baba’s presence.
You are encouraged to spend time at Meher Baba’s touchstones, enjoy the views, and experience the silence and beauty of nature.
The Topa Topa Patio, which looks out at the Topa Topa Bluffs, is open for you to have your own picnic. There is no formal program.
Silence Day commemorates Avatar Meher Baba's 44 years of silence. On this day, always July 10, followers of Meher Baba maintain silence for 24 hours.
On the night of July 9, 1925, Meher Baba retired in seclusion in Meherabad, India. The next morning, July 10, He stepped out keeping silence. He maintained this silence 44 years until He dropped His physical on January 31, 1969.
When Meher Baba visited Meher Mount in 1956, He said, "I want you all to close your eyes for five minutes. Do not think of anything, just think of Baba." (Source: Lord Meher)
