Dear Hasan,
I'm not entirely sure to what extent Persian Baha'is living in the
West are subject to different laws. I mean, is an American born of
Iranian parents considered Persian or Western for Baha'i legal
purposes? What happens if they don't speak Persian? But as for their
being certain letters directed to Persian Baha'is living in the West,
these are rather infrequent and have to do with specific concerns of
the diaspora community. I don't see that as any more of a problem that
the House directing special messages to youth, or women, or indigenous
Baha'is.

Actually we were pretty much discouraged from developing alternatives.

"Persian" and "non persian baha'is" dichotomy
Using a characteristic of critical of reason and philosophy, I wonder why in a
time when bahá'ís of Persian origin and bahá'ís with non-Persian origin live
together and each culture is fusioned (or should be), we talk and there are
laws active for Persian baháís, letters or documents for Persian, it is
supposed that Persian bahá'ís are NOT an elite, it is supposed they should mix
to the culture they live, but with these things it creates a continue
dichotomy. I don't see the necessity of, for example, calling or directing
letters to "Persian bahá'ís" in Occident.

Re: UHJ on Ruhi
:"Universal House of Justice as an individual
person having a will which 'wants' something beyond what they
explicitly ask for. "
that's interesting. i personally hold a view from the other side of the
circle: that the UHJ is a quasi-person, with definite desire and will. but
unlike most such quasi-persons, and nearly all de facto persons, It is aware
that's Its desire does not constitute reality, doesn;t hold Its breath, or
cross Its fingers to "make" things happen.
imho the UHJ is pretty explicit since about 96ish that It >hoped< the firendfs
would all give institute coures a try, >hoped that a large % would like and
promulgate such, and since 2k has been totallly telling people they have a
right to not like ruhi, but >wishes< that those who don't like it either
shushhh or engage in meaningful development of alternatives.
i am however, occasionally intrigued by the prnoun issue of It vs "they"--a
term the Master uses, and am wildly open to education about the grammatical
issues that might bend the choices one way or the other.

Re: Prayer by the Beloved Guardian found in a prayerbook Nasaimu'r-Rahman
Shoghi Effendi wrote a beautiful prayer in Persian, enclosed with his
Naw-Ruz letter to the Persian friends in I believe 1955, which the House
of Justice translated for Mr. Khadem's article about the Mountain of God
which was published in the U.S. Baha'i News more than 30 years ago. It
is published in Mrs. Khadem's book about Mr. Khadem, a wonderful book,
and valuable reading before going on pilgrimage.
http://www.bahaibookstore.com/productdetails.cfm?PC=5736
Here is the translation of the Guardian's prayer.
Brent
This magnificent Edifice stands
facing Baha'u'llah's Most Great
Prison, extolled by the Pen of Glory
as the "Heaven of heavens," and looks
toward the Qiblih of the people of
Baha, that Spot within the Vale of
Security and Peace, the Plain of
`Akka, round which circle in adoration
the Concourse on high. To her right
are the hills of Galilee in which
nestles the childhood home of the
beautiful Christ, and the locality by
the banks of the Jordan River where He
who is the Spirit [Jesus] was called
to prophethood; and on her left, on
the crest of Carmel, are to be found
the Cave of Elijah and the exalted
Spot which was blessed by the
footsteps of the Most Holy Abha Beauty
and was ennobled through the
revelation of the Tablet of Carmel
from the treasury of the Pen of
Glory
High, immeasurably high is this
Shrine, the lofty, the most great, the
most wondrous. Exalted, immeasurably
exalted is this Resting-place, the
fragrant, the pure, the luminous, the
transcendent. Glorified,
immeasurably glorified is this Spot,
the most august, the most holy, the
most blessed, the most sublime
Upon thee, O Queen of Carmel, be
the purest, the most tender
salutations, the fairest, the most
gracious blessings! Glorified is He
Whose footsteps have ennobled the spot
whereon thou standest, Who ordained
thy Seat, and Who extolled thee in His
Tablet and Book. How great is the
potency of thy might, a might which
has bewildered the souls of the
favored ones of God and His
Messengers.
Methinks I behold thee in my
dreams established upon thy glorious
throne, attired in thy white raiment,
crowned with thy golden crown,
resplendent with the lights shining
within thee and around thee, calling
aloud in ringing tones and raising thy
voice between earth and heaven.
Methinks I perceive the souls of
the holy ones and of the dwellers of
the realms above hastening toward thee
with utmost joy, eagerness and
ecstasy, pointing to thee, circling
round thee, inhaling the perfume of
thy flowers and roses, seeking
blessing from the earth of thy
precincts, bowing their foreheads to
the ground before thee in recognition
of the majesty and glory which
surround the Holy Dust reposing within
thee, the Pearl which is enshrined in
thy bosom.
Blessed, immeasurably blessed is
the person who visits thee and circles
around thee, who serves at thy
threshold, waters thy flowers, inhales
the fragrance of holiness from thy
roses, celebrates thy praise and
glorifies thy station for the love of
God, thy Creator, in this hallowed and
radiant, this great, august and
wondrous age.
