WEBCAST COVERAGE OF THE 2011 AMARTITHI

Dear Friends,

As Amartithi approaches, again the Trust plans to broadcast main events of the Meherabad gathering through the internet. A team of Trust workers and volunteers, including Bob Fredericks, Carolina Rincon, and Mark Riney, will be collaborating with a team from the Hyderabad group, including Rajendra Meher Poduri, Phani Nath Dheram, and others. These are a few of the faces you will be seeing in the audio-visual coverage accessible through the Avatar Meher Baba Trust’s website at http//www.ambppct.org. In addition to the live streaming webcasts, which will attend in the main part (though not exclusively) to events on the stage on Meherabad Hill, our coverage will also include video clips of various activities around Meherabad, posted on the web site and downloadable at your convenience. Webmaster Frank Bloise will be supplementing this video coverage with periodic postings of photographs of the event.

Since Amartithi commemorates Avatar Meher Baba’s dropping His physical body at 12:15 p.m., 31st January 1969, the culminating moment of Amartithi is, naturally, the fifteen-minute silence starting at twelve noon on Amartithi day; during the greater three-hour period running from about 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the program reaches its climax. Noon in Ahmednagar corresponds to: 7:30 p.m. (31st January) in Auchland; 5:30 p.m. in Sydney (adjusted for daylight saving time); 4:30 p.m. in Brisbane; 2:30 pm in Shanghai and Perth; 1:30 p.m. in Bangkok; 11:30 a.m. in Karachi; 10:00 a.m. in Teheran; 9:30 a.m. in Moscow; 8:30 a.m. in Jerusalem, Cairo, and Istanbul; 7:30 a.m. in Paris, Rome, and Oslo; 6:30 a.m. in London; 3:30 a.m. in Buenos Aires; 1:30 a.m. in New York; 12:30 a.m. in Chicago and Mexico City; 10:30 p.m. (30th January) in Los Angeles; and 8:30 p.m. in Honolulu.

The schedule for the live internet webcasts is as below:

 2:00 p.m. – 10 p.m.: Stage Performances

31st January 2011

Trustee on 31st January before the Silence)

12:00 noon –12:15pm: Silence

3 p.m. – 10 p.m.: Music and Stage Performances

All of us here at Meherabad-Meherazad join Avatar Meher Baba’s lovers worldwide in our silent salutations to Him, the Eternal Beloved, who took birth among us in 1894 and discarded that human coat to live supreme in the hearts of His lovers forty-two years ago next Monday.
