Amartithi: AVATAR MEHER BABA’S 55th AMARTITHI

 

Amartithi means “Eternal Day,” or “Eternal Date,” and is the sacred and joyful observance honouring the date of 31st January 1969, when Avatar Meher Baba dropped His body at 12:15 pm, to live eternally in the hearts of His lovers.  Usually, thousands come to Meherabad for two or three days to take darshan at Meher Baba’s Samadhi and observe Silence together from 12 noon until 12:15 pm on 31st January.  While people are in the darshan queue, Meher Baba’s lovers and pilgrims also take part in an “educational gathering” dedicated to Avatar Meher Baba, with a joyful program of devotional music, song, dance, drama, film, prayers, and arti in the amphitheater near the Samadhi on Meherabad Hill
