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 video, produced by the Baha’i World Centre, shares a keynote address by Mrs. Antonella Demonte, member of the International Teaching Centre, delivered at the centenary commemoration of the ascension of Abdu’l-Baha on 26 November 2021.
A second keynote was also shared online: Abdu’l-Baha as the Centre of the Covenant
