Meher Mount
Your Friday photo is in honor of Amartithi, today January 31st…
“Unity in the midst of diversity can be made to be felt only by touching the very core of the heart. This is the work for which I have come.
I have come to sow the seed of love in your hearts so that, in spite of all superficial diversity which your life in illusion must experience and endure, the feeling of oneness, through love, is brought about amongst all the nations, creeds, sects and castes of the world.”
Amartithi
Amartithi is the anniversary of the date in 1969 — January 31st — when Avatar Meher Baba, the deathless One, dropped His body and left the physical form. 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.
Followers around the world gather on this day to honor and remember Meher Baba. See: “What Amartithi Means to Me.”
