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.”
