Baha’i Perspectives

Baha'i Perspectives January 25th, 2008

The Revelation proclaimed by Bahá’u'lláh, His followers believe, is divine in origin, all-embracing in scope, broad in its outlook, scientific in its method, humanitarian in its principles and dynamic in the influence it exerts on the hearts and minds of men.

(Shoghi Effendi, Summary Statement – The World Religion)

It feels strange writing the first post on a brand new blog; strange because I don’t know who will read this, who we are communicating to, who will pass by this site once and never visit it again, and who will end up visiting regularly. It’s all very intriguing, yet a little awkward at the same time! I am reminded of the phrase from The Seven Valleys, about striving to see “the end in the beginning”, and wishing I could sneak a brief peek of the end! Nevertheless, we are all excited about this and look forward to the journey that lies ahead.

As described in the About page, this is a group initiative, and, while we will do our utmost to express Baha’i-related ideas and insights through our posts, we recommend that you click through to the official sites (on the sidebar) to find out more about the Baha’i Faith.

Our vision in developing this blog is, primarily, to share some of the “jewels” that we encounter from the Baha’i Holy Writings, particularly in relation to world news, contemporary society and our lives as individuals. We will offer ideas, insights and commentary, we will provide links to interesting events, stories and articles, and, as for the rest, I guess we’ll find out!
