Our Parents before us had the bounty to listen to some of these talks in person (in a couple of Mr. Taherzadeh talks you can hear my dad coughing in the background). I grew up and listened to some of these cassette tapes in my family's car. Once cassette tapes were phased out these tapes also were phased out of my life, until now.This Podcast will share Baha'i Talks I have come across which have been edited to enhance the audio quality as well as cassette tapes I've digitized called 'Our Parents Archive'. Not official in any capacity.Questions: Contact me @Naisaan or www.naisaannadimi.net more

These are the audios from our main presentations on YouTube.com/BridgingBeliefsDelve into Bahá'í and philosophical subjects, principles, and objections. This individual initiative is not authoritative, but merely represents my understanding of the Bahá'í Faith. I encourage you to read the Baha'i Writings independently and visit www.bahai.org. My intention is to dispel misunderstandings, explore deeper truths, and bridge the seeming divides among the world's great Holy Texts.'The objection most commonly raised... is the assertion that the differences among the revealed faiths are so fundamental that to present them as stages or aspects of one unified system of truth does violence to the facts. Given the confusion surrounding the nature of religion, the reaction is understandable. Chiefly, however, such an objection offers Bahá'ís an invitation to set the principles reviewed here more explicitly in the evolutionary context provided in Bahá'u'lláh's writings.' --One Common Faith, p 24YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/BridgingBeliefsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/bridgingbeliefsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BridgingBeliefs9Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgingbeliefs9Twitter: https://twitter.com/BridgingBeliefsOfficial Bahá'í website: http://www.bahai.org more

Kalimát-i-Maknúnih (کلمات مکنونه) or The Hidden Words is a book written in Baghdad around 1857 by Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith. This work is written partly in Arabic and partly in Persian. The Hidden Words is written in the form of a collection of short utterances, 71 in Arabic and 82 in Persian, in which Bahá'u'lláh claims to have taken the basic essence of certain spiritual truths and written them in brief form. Bahá'ís are advised by `Abdu'l-Bahá, the son of Bahá'u'lláh to read them every day and every night and to implement its latent wisdom into their daily lives. He also said that 'The Hidden Words is a treasury of divine mysteries' and that when one ponders its contents, 'the doors of the mysteries will open.' The text of the Hidden Words is divided up into two sections: one from Arabic, and another from Persian. Each consist of several short, numbered passages. The Arabic has 71 passages, and the Persian has 82. This audiobook only contains the Persian section. Each passage begins with an invocation, many of which repeat. Some common invocations include 'O Son of Spirit', 'O Son of Man', and 'O Son of Being'. Bahá'í prayers are written in the first person of humanity, so that the reader can feel like they are having a conversation with God. The Hidden Words are written in the first person of God, so that the reader feels like God is speaking to them. Around 1903, Mr. Anton Haddad translated the Persian section of the Hidden Words. It should be noted that this translation was superseded by the more masterful, authorized translation of Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith, which has not yet entered the public domain.(Adapted from Wikipedia) more

In 1903, Mr. Hussein Rouhy translated the Arabic portion of the Hidden Words, which appeared in Myron Phelps' 'Life and Teachings of Abbas Effendi'. Phelps' writes that 'Mr. Rouhy furnished me with literal translations from the original Arabic and Persian. In order to avoid obscurities and forms of expression and figures of speech unfamiliar to Western readers, these have been somewhat modified in form; but in all cases without departure, I think, from the meaning of the originals.' It should be noted that this translation was superseded by the more masterful, authorized translation of Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith, which has not yet entered the public domain.
