Amartithi is the day which commemorates Meher Baba's death on 31 January 1969.[1][2][3] The word "Amartithi" appears to have been coined by Meher Baba and means "deathless day" (Literally, amar, deathless; tithi, day, in Hindi). It can also be translated as "eternal date" or "date with the Eternal." It is considered one of the most significant holidays among followers of Meher Baba in addition to "Silence Day", and Meher Baba's birthday.[4]
