Baha’u’llah, the Prophet-Founder of the Baha’i Faith, passed away on 29 May, 1892. This holy day is commemorated by Baha’is all over the world and is known as ‘The Ascension of Baha’u’llah’.
We’re back with our fourth episode of “Deck of Questions” with the expertly eloquent Rebecca and Mehran, two Baha’is living in Sydney, with flourishing careers, who share their insights on work life.
Rebecca is Head of Public Policy & Economic Graph, Asia-Pacific at Linkedin and a former senior diplomat and tech regulator. Mehran is Managing Partner at Mothership and Founder of Collabur.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we have!
In this episode, Mehran mentions Abdu’l-Baha’s profession. Here is a quotation on the subject:
“…[ Shoghi Effendi] would be very pleased to see your husband follow what the Master often repeated even to His own immediate family, namely the necessity of a profession. Of course you know that He always said His had been mat-making.”
(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, September 20, 1929)
HUGE 🙇 to Rebecca and Mehran as well as fullstackfilms.com.au for helping us make this episode!
