I received my copy of this book several years ago from a friend who was traveling in China. (I was surprised to find it in the West - but Amazon has everything!) I have read it again and again. The tales are, unmistakably, folk wit from centuries past, and yet amusing for today as well. You'll find several that apply to people and situations you run into daily. (Some Uygur independence groups have recently been officially recognized as terrorists by the US, in an effort to get more anti-terrorist cooperation from China - to add a certain poignancy to this review. Uygur (pronounced Wee-gur) people are Islamic.) (Amazon customer)

The author of these recollections has written, not a biography, but his personal experiences of Shoghi Effendi (1896-1957), who, on the death of his Grandfather, 'Abdu'l-Baha in 1921, found himself Guardian of the Baha'i Faith. For thirty-six years, Shoghi Effendi bore the daunting responsibilties of his office, guiding and encouraging the Bahá'ís. During the last nine years of his life he developed in Haifa and 'Akká, the spiritual and administrative institutions of the Bahá'í Faith. Dr Giacery visited Haifa on several occasions during these years and spent a number of months there. The account he gives us of Shoghi Effendi is at first hand. It is a perceptive, affectionate and intimate portrayal of the gallant and self-sacrificing Guardian. And because those who served him so closely were few these recollections are so precious.

The life and work of the Guardian told through accounts by pilgrims and visitors as well as those who worked to assist him. 'Fascinating . . . thoroughly enjoyable . . . truly inspirational' Literature Review Panel of the Bahá ís of the United KingdomShoghi Effendi Through the Pilgrim s Eye tells the story of the Guardian s ministry from 1922 when the young Shoghi Effendi, just 24 years old, was charged with guiding the affairs of a worldwide Faith. Rather than a biography, it draws on the diary entries and letters (many now published for the first time) of the many pilgrims and visitors to the Bahá í Holy Places in Haifa and Akká, as well as the accounts of those who worked to assist the Guardian in his many extraordinary achievements.As in all such cases, these recollections must be taken in the spirit of pilgrim notes interesting and thought-provoking highlights and observations, but not any part of the Bahá í Sacred Text. They do, however, provide unique insights and inspiration.Volume I (1922 1952) covers the years when the Guardian was laying the foundations of the Bahá í Administrative Order destined to culminate in the World Order of Bahá u lláh, while at the same time planning and carrying out the extension and development of the Shrines of the Báb and Bahá u lláh, translating the Writings of Bahá u lláh as well as The Dawn-Breakers and writing his own major works, as well as facing challenges to his authority and responding to the confiscation of the House of Bahá u lláh in Baghdad and the persecution of Bahá ís in Iran and Egypt. The volume ends just before the dramatic decade that was to begin in 1953 with the celebration of the Bahá í Holy Year, the first intercontinental conferences and the launching of the ten-year worldwide spiritual plan to carry the Faith of Bahá u lláh to every place on the planet.

The story, through the eyes of those who were there, of The Ten Year Crusade, including the tragic and untimely death of Shoghi Effendi in 1957 and the decision by the Chief Stewards of the Faith, the Hands of the Cause of God, to carry forward the Guardian s Plan to its successful conclusion and the establishment of the final piece in Bahá u lláh s Administrative Order, the Universal House of Justice. The two volumes of Shoghi Effendi Through the Pilgrim s Eye tell the story of the worldwide spread of the Bahá í Faith from 1922 to 1963.

That first global teaching plan involved every National Assembly and every Bahá í in a fate-laden, soul-stirring, decade-long, world-embracing Spiritual Crusade . It was a monumentally incomprehensible leap for the world Bahá í Community. When Shoghi Effendi announced the plan, there were just twelve National Spiritual Assemblies in the world, formed over a period of 30 years. The Plan ended with 56. In 1952 the Bahá í Faith had members in 129 countries and dependencies; Shoghi Effendi wanted to open an additional 131 all in just ten years.

Liquid Land è, oltre che mio, anche di mio padre Rustam Effendi, scienziato e entomologo dissidente che ha dedicato la sua vita allo studio, alla caccia e alla raccolta di farfalle nell'Unione Sovietica. Ereditata dall'Istituto Statale di Zoologia dell'Azerbaigian dopo la sua morte nel 1991, la sua vasta collezione si è disintegrata. Accanto a migliaia di scatole di vetro piene di polvere di farfalle, l'unica testimonianza visiva del lavoro della sua vita sono le cinquanta fotografie di farfalle in via di estinzione per un manoscritto che non è mai riuscito a pubblicare [.] Accanto alle farfalle morte ma iridescenti di mio padre, le mie fotografie mostrano la vita in alcune delle aree più inquinate del mondo, vicino Baku, dove sono nata e cresciuta. Nella mia mente, le immagini contrastanti gravitano l'una verso l'altra - come ho fatto io con mio padre. Fotografo la terra sterile e liquida di Absheron - il suo degrado ambientale e urbano, la sua gente che vive in mezzo al caos dell'inquinamento industriale. Mentre il lavoro di mio padre si svolgeva nell'aria fresca di montagna. (Rena Effendi).

Early 20th Century Recordings Haim Effendi - CD 737138635322

The translation of the famous account of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's journey across America. In the spring of 1912 'Abdu'l-Bahá set off from Alexandria on His historic journey to America. Among his small entourage was Mírzá Mahmúd-i-Zarqání, who became, in the words of Shoghi Effendi, 'the chronicler of His travels'. Mírzá Mahmúd went everywhere with 'Abdu'l-Bahá, making extensive notes not only of the Master's many public talks and conversations with individuals but also of the new sights and experiences they found in America as well as the daily routines of eating, writing letters and travelling. Mahmúd remarks on the novelty of the New York skyscrapers, electric lights and American foods and customs for 'Abdu'l-Bahá's party as well as the picturesque spectacle provided to the Americans by His entourage in their 'abás and Persian hats. The result was a unique diary 'regarded as a reliable account of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's travels in the West and an authentic record of His utterances, whether in the form of formal talks, table talks or random oral statements. Mírzá Mahmúd was a careful and faithful chronicler and engaged in assembling and publishing his work with the permission of the beloved Master . . .' (The Universal House of Justice). The translations of the talks of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and His words found in the present volume were read and revised at the Bahá'í World Centre. Includes many newly translated talks of 'Abdu'l-Bahá not available elsewhere.

In 1953 Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha’i Faith, included as one of the goals of his Ten Year Plan the preparation of a Synopsis and Codification of the Laws and Ordinances of the Kitab-i-Aqdas as an essential prelude to its translation. He himself worked on the codification, but had not finished it when he died in 1957. The task was continued on the basis of his work, and the resulting volume was released in 1973. That publication included, in addition to the Synopsis and Codification itself and explanatory notes, a compilation of the passages from the Kitab-i-Aqdas which had already been translated by Shoghi Effendi and published in various books. The Synopsis and Codification covered the text of both the Kitab-i-Aqdas and the Questions and Answers which constitutes an appendix to the Aqdas. In 1986 the Universal House of Justice decided that the time had come when the preparation of an English translation of the complete text of the Most Holy Book was both possible and essential and made its accomplishment a goal of the Six Year Plan 1986-1992. Its publication in English will be followed by translations in other languages. It has been recognized that the Kitab-i-Aqdas, being Sacred Scripture, should be presented in a form which can be read with ease and inspiration, uncluttered with the footnotes and index numbers that are common in scholarly texts. Nonetheless, to assist the reader in following the flow of the text and its changing themes, paragraph divisions have been added—such divisions not being common in works of Arabic literature—and these paragraphs have then been numbered for ease of access and indexing, as well as for uniformity of reference in all the languages in which the work will be published.Following the text of the Aqdas is a brief compilation of Writings of Baha’u’llah which are supplementary to the Most Holy Book, and a translation of the Questions and Answers published here for the first time.

According to Shoghi Effendi, the Kitáb-i-Íqán, the Book of Certitude, should be mastered by every Bahá’í and those who are interested in Bahá’í Faith. The Book of Certitude was written by Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í Faith. As one of the main spiritual texts given to humanity, it is complex, intricate, and more beautiful each time it is read. With the help of this new self-study guide by Dr. Sohrab Kourosh, engage with the Book of Certitude on a deeper level than ever before. New meanings, connections, and allusions will become clear and lead you down new paths of spiritual study. Kourosh has compiled a wide range of useful contextual information that identifies more obscure theological, philosophical, and religious terms. He shows the connections to other religious texts and sacred scriptures, and he provides more information about references to historical events. Kourosh also deciphers the references to other Writings of Baha’u’llah, as well as Writings of the Báb, ‘Abdú’l-Bahá, and Shoghi Effendi, which will help illuminate complex passages. According to the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh, spiritual texts are of no benefit if they can’t be understood. Shoghi Effendi stated that this book should be thoroughly studied. Use this guide to honor His advice.

A journey through the Book of CertitudeThe Kitáb-i-Íqán is one of the most important Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, the Founder of the Bahá'í Faith. Bahá'u'lláh revealed this book within the space of two days and two nights, in the last years of His stay in Baghdád (AH 1278--AD 1862). According to Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith, The Kitáb-i-Íqán sets "forth in outline the Grand Redemptive Scheme of God" and it "occupies a position unparalleled by any work in the entire range of the Bahá'í literature, except The Kitáb-i-Aqdas Bahá'u'lláh's Most Holy Book."This current book is a record of the journey that the author has taken through The Kitáb-i-Íqán over a period of 12 years. It is not an interpretation or a critical analysis of the content of the book. Neither does it provide any personal opinion. It primarily guides reader through a systematic study of the Íqán while providing some background information on topics raised by Bahá'u'lláh in each paragraph. It is called a tutorial as it attempts to simulate, as much as possible, the tutor-tutored relationship in a self-paced personal study. All the references in the tutorial are sourced either from authoritative Bahá'í materials or obtained from other reliable sources.The 290 paragraphs of The Kitáb-i-Íqán are apportioned for study to 58 chapters. The size and complexity of each chapter reflects the content and intricacy of the issues addressed in the paragraphs included therein. Each chapter starts with an introduction that highlights the key ideas. Then in a coherent manner, background information on the terminologies, references and mystical concepts inherent in each paragraph is provided. The tutorial covers the 266 topics embedded in The Kitáb-i-Íqán.
