Featured in: The Ascension of Abdu’l-Baha
Abdu’l-Baha was the eldest son of Baha’u’llah who referred to Him as “the Mystery of God” and “a shelter for all mankind”, however Abdu’l-Baha preferred to be called “Abdu’l-Baha” which means “the Servant of Baha” in reference to His servitude to Baha’u’llah. When Abdu’l-Baha passed away on 28 November 1921, He was eulogized as One who led humanity to the “Way of Truth,” as a “pillar of peace” and the embodiment of “glory and greatness.”
In this Baha’i Blog interview, Naysan speaks with filmmaker, Fred Badiyan, about his new documentary series called “Abdu’l-Baha: The Mystery“, and some of the other films he’s been involved in over the years.
Fred Badiyan is a filmmaker based in the United States, and over the decades he’s been involved in numerous Baha’i-inspired films and media projects including “The Hands of the Cause” documentary series and “Crossing Frontiers” about Ruhiyyih Khanum.
As this year marks the centenary of the passing of Abdu’l-Baha, Fred Badiyan and Ramin Khadem produced the six-part series called “Abdu’l-Baha: The Mystery” in honor of this special year. Baha’i Blog is extremely grateful to them for giving us the rights to distribute “Abdu’l-Baha: The Mystery” on our Youtube channel which can be watched here: Abdu’l-Baha: The Mystery
