Ascension of Baha’u’llah

On 29th May the Orthodox Baha’is of the world mark the Ascension of Baha'u'llah.

About a year prior to His passing, Baha’u’llah revealed His Will and Testament, which named His eldest son, Abdu’l-Baha, as His successor and constitutes the Covenant of Baha’u'llah.

Baha’u'llah’s ministry came to an end in 1892. He left to humanity a priceless heritage of spiritual and social teachings.

Now this priceless heritage of spiritual and social teachings are continuing under the living Guardian of Baha’i Faith, Joel Bray Marangella.

Indian Orthodox Baha'is pay homage to all the Baha'is of the world on the Ascension of Baha u llah and pray for all the Baha'is to turn their faces towards the real successor of Baha u llah, The Guardian of Baha'i Faith.

 “That one indeed is a man who, today, dedicated himself to the service of the entire human race. The Great Being saith: Blessed and happy is he that ariseth to promote the best interests of the peoples and kindreds of the earth. It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.”  (Baha’u’llah)

Declaration of the Báb

In the Persian Bayán, the Báb has fixed the exact moment of the beginning of His revelation as two hours and eleven minutes after sunset on the evening of May 22, 1844. 

Every year on that date, Bahá'ís around the world gather to commemorate this event--the dawn of a new era in religious history.

SUBMIT UNTO GUARDIAN

"The Mighty stronghold shall remain impregnable and safe through obedience to him who is the guardian of the Cause of God. It is incumbent upon the members of House of Justice, upon all the Aghsan, the Afnan, the Hands of the Cause of God to show their obedience, submissiveness and subordination unto the guardian of the Cause of God to turn unto him and be lowly before him."

(Will and Testament  of Abdu’l Baha - 12).

FOLLOW THE GUARDIAN FOR BEING A BAHA’I

Master, Abdu'l Baha, in His Will and Testament used the words “it is incumbent” means the followers of Baha’u’llah and Abdu’l Baha, the members of UHJ, Aghsan, the Afnan, the Hands of the Cause of God and all the Baha’is should follow a Guardian.
