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.”
This program to commemorate the Ascension of Abdu’l-Baha is hosted by the Baha’i House of Worship in Wilmette, USA.

This presentation is keen and profound beyond measure. It seems fitting that the beloved Natives of Alaska gave us this precious and eternal view. Boundless gratitude!
