Profoundly great in everyway! You should make more of such videos. You are very good at explaining Baha'i teachings!

Love this thanks for this

❤

God bless you, Tom.

Beautiful dear brother, thank you for sharing!

Beautifully performed! This brings this blessed wife and heroine of our Faith to life. Thank you!❤🙏☮️

lovely, thank you for sharing.

Love this ! Just perfect for narrating Baha'i stories , especially from the Dawn Breakers to children.

I love what you are doing. It is what I wish to do and you are doing beautifully.

We have breathed new life into our Feasts and Holy Days by singing songs _together_ based on or directly from the Bahá'í Writings. It really makes for a wonderful spirit.

I like that you speak slowly and so clearly . I can really absorb the message . Thank you ❤

❤️🙏🏿🌹

Very cool! Bahá'u'lláh also revealed a Tablet where He refers to Jesus as "My Son." Here is a provisional translation: adibmasumian.com/translations/bh01514/

You say they *_"sensed the presence"_* of a multitude. This is different from actually seeing a multitude. You also had said it was dark. I note this post below: *"This account is very dramatic but not exactly what Adib Taherzadeh told. He was very cautious about revealing the story because he was worried that it would be distorted over time if passed along verbally. It would be interesting to know where this level of detail of distances and hearing breathing from the... "* The Baha'i hagiography and embellishment have begun. Even if the two "sensed a multitude" this does not mean it was a "Concourse On High." There are numerous accounts from all over the world featuring ghostly crowds, such as the ghostly battalions associated with Civil War locations in the USA. Or the "ghost train carrying Abe Lincoln" etc. It would not be a stretch to think that the old mansion of Bahji could have been haunted. I'd even say it's likely. --As to miracles: *Testimony about miracles definitely influences those who have not seen the miracle.* I was influenced toward faith and spiritually elevated by the stories of the miracles of Christ, as well as the miracles attributed to Neem Karoli Baba and Nityananda (of Ganeshpuri). Like amazing healings, raising of the dead, multiplication of food and many others. The reason Baha'is say that line is because their Glorious Beauty could perform no miracles. But it's funny you have tried to propound a "miracle" to associate with Baha'u'llah even though you gave out the usual line that miracles 'don't matter.' Miracles are a significator of "the limitless" (limitless possibilities, etc.) To contemplate miracles is synonymous with "contemplating the infinite." In Hinduism the "infinite space" (akasha) is considered to be an aspect of God, even synonymous with God. Contemplating miracles is a way of "touching the infinite space, God." The deity commonly manifests miracles through a genuine "manifestation of God" as a grace to the masses of people, to awaken their faith in God. And it works! Human testimony about them has the same effect. -- I do not see a "manifestation of God" in the photos of Baha'u'llah. -- I find it interesting that Baha'is don't use prayer beads any more. I assume this is a reflection of the anti-mystical trend in modern Baha'is, something I experienced during my 13 years as a Baha'i. I mean, they literally have a mantra prescribed to them in their Kitab-i-Aqdas but always say "We don't do mantras."

I hate Baha'u'llah based on his photo. And based on the fact he created a race-destroying (diversity-destroying) religion, and a religion that is outer-focused, world-focused, and gets foolish people believing they can "perfect the world" (as though that would give them any happiness). Reading his "Book Of Laws" (Kitab-i-Aqdas) also made me hate him.

Great video Tom. Thanks for sharing. I just finished the Wilmette Institute course on Anti-Black Racism (excellent...I highly recommend it) and we discussed Isfandiyar and the tablet you share here. How befitting that the Master has identified this dear Black man as close to a perfect human being as there is in this world. BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Very inspiring video Tom. Peace Jim

Thanks Tom for sharing this, another great addition to the collection of videos you’ve made. Happy Ridvan! I’m sharing those videos with friends in our community:)

Happy Ridván, Tom! Love your videos and your books!

Thank you for sharing ❤

Very nice. Thank you!

History is written by the victors….

Tooo quiet. Wish I could hear it better. I can always turn volume down but it only goes up just so far.

Hello Tom, great to see your TH-cam channel. It's been a long time since we met in Australia! Wishing you all the best. Ian Reid.

So interesting ! I didn't use to know that much about story....

Tom. Just want to thank you. It was very enlightening. I was not familiar with the word ,"thrall" . Thanks to your video, this word is now in my vocabulary, and now I have a deeper understanding of the prayers that use thrall. I would like to know where I may be able to find the prayer of Baha-u-llah that you mention in that prayer? Thank you so much Tom. Allah-u-Abha.

This account is very dramatic but not exactly what Adib Taherzadeh told. He was very cautious about revealing the story because he was worried that it would be distorted over time if passed along verbally. It would be interesting to know where this level of detail of distances and hearing breathing from the Concourse on high, and so forth, came from.

Thank you for that information. It is very appealing to hear it referred to as the first emancipation proclamation. I love the concluding verse from Baha'u'llah: "...I pray that Thou mayest never free mine own neck from the chain of Thy servitude. " :)

That was a great fire side thanks

THANK YOU AN AMAZING MIRACLE AND AN AMAZING STORY THAT HAS ALWAYS FASCINATED ME!! If thou be a man of communion and prayer, soar up on the wings of assistance from Holy Souls, that thou mayest behold the mysteries of the Friend and attain to the lights of the Beloved, "Verily, we are from God and to Him shall we return." [1] [1 Qur'án 2:151.] (Baha'u'llah, The Seven Valleys, p. 17)

Where are those poems, I wonder.

Lovely; thank you 💐

What an amazing story of hurtful truth. Thanks for sharing ❤

The year, month, day and even the hour and minute of sunrise of BAHA'U'LLAH's birth is expressed on the CROSS using mathematics.

Love the videos Tom!

SATAN WORSHIPPERS😂😂😂😂

Beautiful. Thank you.

This was a wonderful revelation. Thank you for sharing this important message.❤

When we die if we have lived well all that is left is the divine spark. All that we hung on to in this passing. All that we found so important. All that we raised up between us. All that we thought was us. Is gone.

history is my weak area as i have focused most of my studies on Baháulláh's writings. you are a great storyteller. i listen to audio books almost every day as i am doing other stuff that do not require my mental presence. your books seem to be prime candidates 🙂

nationalism IS tribalism, only at a larger scale. this is great, do not stop 🙂

beautifully put.

How perfect is this gift you've shared with us for Ayyám-i-Há! Thank you so much, Tom!

Thank you so much for sharing! I'll be watching all your videos! Such a wonderful story!

The British Museum was given a large collection of Baha’u’llah’s writings. Some scholars who know about these things think it’s very possible these writings came from those satchels.

Such a great story! Thanks for sharing this.

Inspiring and uplifting Tom. Thanks for sharing...❤

Excellent video! A wonderful story and the inclusion of so much useful background information was appreciated. Thank you
