The anniversary of the declaration of the Bab


Dear Friends,
Tonight, two hours after sunset is when we celebrate the declaration of the Bab. This is the anniversary of that blessed event 165 years ago when Mulla-Husayn led by prayer alone found the Blessed One that all religions had been anticipating. Later 17 more people had to find him on their own without being told, directed only by God and their prayers. My hope is to pray with a similar fire in my heart and fervent desire that God might guide me to do what He would want me to do. Hungry for guidance, they searched and found the Light. I too would like to be guided by that Light.
May we all work together to make this world a better place and honor the teachings of our Faith?
Sincerely,
Janice

May 23, 1844 the anniversary of the declaration of the Bab marks the beginnings of the Baha’i Faith in Shiraz, Persia (Iran). The Bab, which means the “Gate”, proclaimed on that date that he was not only the founder of an independent religion, but the Herald of a New and Greater Prophet or Messenger of God, Who would usher in an age of peace for all mankind.
Bahá'í history is traced through a sequence of leaders, beginning with the
Báb's May 23, 1844 Declaration in Shiraz, and ultimately resting on an Administrative Order under the guidance of a LIVING GUARDIAN.

All the Orthodox Baha'is of India extend their heartiest Greetings on this auspicious occasion to the Beloved Guardian Joel Bray Marangella and to all the Baha’is of the world irrespective of the sects.
