In all religions, irrespective of them being divine or otherwise, temples and houses of worship enjoy great importance. India is the best example of having different temples and houses of worship like Hindu temples, Muslim mosques, Sikh Gurdwaras, Christian Churches, Budha Vihars and the Baha’i Temple.
In the Baha’i Faith also, temples have an important role.Rajendra Upadhyayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11240876993480150672noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4882852031086100669.post-64533317739778774552011-10-18T20:53:00.004+05:302011-10-19T12:57:08.459+05:30THE ORTHODOX BAHÁ'ÍS CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF BAB UNDER THE LIVING GUARDIAN JOEL BRAY MARANGELLA
