New Book Launched: Beyond The Narrative

Image
 A will holds great importance in our legal system, serving as a beacon for individuals to chart the course of their estate posthumously. It plays a pivotal role in designating inheritors, appointing executors, and ensuring the care of minors. Over the ages, the crafting of wills has been paramount in preserving legacies and averting conflicts. Its impact transcends mere material possessions, shaping familial lineage, societal structure, and even religious continuity. In the Baha’i Faith, succession finds mention in the Last Will and Testament of predecessors, underlining the need for diligent study and comprehension of these documents. Correct interpretation is crucial; any ambiguity could spark disagreements, perhaps even leading to unfortunate confrontations. Ultimately, wills serve as guiding lights, steering legacies and upholding cherished values for posterity. Embark on a transformative journey with our latest publication, dedicated to the life, teachings, and significant Will a

Declarations In The Cause

Image
We the Free Baha’is do not believe in declarations. We believe in spreading the true teachings of Baha’u’llah and don’t work for numbers. A Free Baha’i should purify himself from greed of attaining positions, and start working out of love for humanity and world peace. Our Master has clearly stated, "There are no officers in this Cause. I do not and have not appointed any one to perform any special services, but I encourage everyone to engage in the service of the Kingdom. The foundation of this Cause is purely a democracy, and not a theocracy." (Reference: Star of the West, Vol. 8, pg. 116) These man-made assemblies and authoritative positions have pushed the Baha’is to work out of greed of acquiring positions which lead to fake reports and false statistics. But, if a person frees himself from administration, he will fulfil his duties towards Baha’u’llah and not for NSA or UHJ. Thus, he will be rewarded by Baha’u’llah for his efforts. For this reason, Free Baha’is do

Response to the letters of UHJ – Guest Article

Image
This article is in reference to the letters sent by UHJ – An unauthorized and self-proclaimed administrative body. As we have time and again put light on the fact that the Baha’i administration is the biggest enemy of the Baha’i cause and is the root cause of obedient servants of Baha’u’llah leaving the faith. We have reviewed the letters of UHJ sent during 2022 and would like to point out their clear lies and how they are playing around with the emotions of the sincere followers. Below are some of the points: The UHJ in their letters hype about the Ruhi institute and their teachings. Can UHJ give an exact number as to how many converts they have found in this process? Who has approved this institute and the study materials being thought to the children or youngsters. Are they the teachings of Baha’u’llah and Abdu’l Baha or are they the forged and misinterpreted teachings? UHJ claims to have made a global plan to attract more seekers (basically found new conv

Violation of Bahai Teachings by the UHJ

Image
Dear Bahai Readers, We have been always told that the Bahai Faith is a universal religion for the present age and that a manifestation of God comes after every 1000 years to revive the word of God and keep the spirit of faith fresh by aligning laws tuned with the times. However, it seems that UHJ has taken over to change the commandment and issue ordinances to keep in tune with changing times within 100 years itself (without any manifestation appearing)!! UHJ in its pursuit of popular support has thus put ethics and morality on the back-burner. As a humble devoted Bahai, I find a number of instances of lack of proper governance and conduct on part of UHJ. Hence with the sole purpose of rectification of the Faith highest body, I have embarked to bring to the attention of the community such instances through a series of articles. The first of the series of articles is titled  ’All is fair in love…’ Background: It is reported that youngsters deciding their own life partners is becoming co

Persian Baha'is vs the Rest

Image
The Baha'i Faith the youngest of all the Faiths and supposedly the most united is now suffering from an existential crisis. Already divided into many factions and sects, the Faith is now faced with the existential threat of a power struggle between the Persian Baha'is and the rest. This crisis may lead to the already decimated Faith into a vertical split shaking the roots of the faith. There is no denying the fact that the Baha'i Faith is born in Persia and Persians have had a great sacrifice in spreading the Faith across the globe. We will have to go back into the history to recollect that the Persian Baha'is pioneered to places far and wide and have devotedly served the faith. The progress of the faith in the golden era from 1970 to 2010 was mainly due to the efforts of Eidelkhanis, Nakhjawanis, Razavis, Afshins, Rouhanis, Mohajers, Azadis and so on. All familiar names to the Baha'i community, known for their selfless services. While these individuals offered thei

The (Lip) Service of the Baha’i Administration at the time of the Covid-19 crises

Image
  Today, Humanity is at a critical juncture faced with the unprecedented and unexpected calamity in the form of the Covid-19 Pandemic. In the face of this crisis, Nations, Organisations, communities and even individuals are engaged in selfless service trying to help their fellow human beings’ tide over the devastating effects of this pandemic. Nations are rising over past rivalries and animosities, and people are rising over racism and xenophobia to help each other. However, in the face of all of this, the “Baha’i Administration” is doing, as usual, NOTHING MEANINGFUL. The “Administration”, as always, in this time of crisis is bent on paying lip service and nothing more. This way of dumb and mute service is the innate nature of the “Baha’i Administration” and is in perfect alignment with the past set precedents of service of the “Administration”. Allow me to enumerate the various “Powerful” (read: self-serving and futile; Lip Service) steps which the “Administration” will take at t

The Administrations Youngest Illegitimate Offspring – The Kamalabadi Baha’is

Image
57 years after its unholy establishment the So Called “Universal House of Justice” the administration has now given birth to another illegitimate offspring – “The Kamalabadi Bahai’s”. This is a new group (or sect if you may) of the administration Baha’is which believes that any and all misfortune which occurs in the world is the punishment of Baha’u’llah. Doesn’t matter if it’s the Chernobyl Disaster of 1986 or the Indian ocean tsunami of 2004 or the Bam Earthquakes of 2003 or the hurricanes Harvey or Katrina. All of these were the Punishment and wrath of Baha’u’llah. Irrespective of the fact that there were Baha’i lives lost in these natural disasters too and the entire world rose above its differences to help each other in a show of Unity which only mirrors Bahai writings on world unity. But for these Kamalabadi Bahai’s its nothing but the wrath of Baha’u’llah on the world for not accepting His message. Image Courtesy: Farzan Kamalabadi Twitter (@FarzamKamalabad) This gr
