Throughout history, God has sent us a series of divine Educators. They include (among others) Krishna, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, the Bab, and Baha’u’llah. Baha’u’llah explained that the religions of the world come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion.

On ABC Radio National’s program “God Forbid”, Sami Shah hosted a panel that asked what different minority religions believe; how they worship, their history, and their concerns, and comforts, in modern Australia.
The panelists included:
Farhad Malegam, a practising Zoroastrian, in Sydney. He’s also a keen student of the ancient Gatha hymns by Zarathushtra.
Dellaram Vreeland, a journalist, writer and a Baha’i from Ballarat in Victoria.
Mahica Jain is a university student who’s been actively involved in the Sydney Jain community for a decade.
Among many other topics, Della talked about the #OurStoryIsOne media campaign, the House of Worship in Sydney, efforts by Baha’is and their friends to build vibrant communities, and Effie Baker–Australia’s first Baha’i woman.
In addition to being aired Saturday at 4am and Sunday at 6am and 10pm, you can listen to all episodes “God Forbid” online.
