Naw-roz Message of the Living Guardian to the Baha’is

 

Dear Hand of the Cause of God Paul Henderson,
Please Convey my loving Naw-Ruz Greetings to all the Baha’is. I wish them safety against the catastrophic event which has happened so far and will surge day by day due to disobedience to directives of Baha’u’llah and His Warning.

Baha’u’llah warned:

We have a fixed time for you, O people. If ye fail, at the appointed hour, to turn towards God, He, verily, will lay violent hold on you, and will cause grievous afflictions to assail you from every direction. How severe, indeed, is the chastisement with which your Lord will then chastise you!

(Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh p, 214)

Best wishes and loving regards,
Nosrat’u’llah Bahremand

Welcome to Newly Formed Local Baha'i Council of Sialkot

To,

The National Council of Orthodox Baha'is of Pakistan,

 Dear Esteemed Members of our National Council,

 Allah-O-Abha,

 We are extremely pleased to announce that the Local Council of Orthodox Baha’is is formed in Sialkot as we have received nine declarations. This is nothing but the Blessing of Bahaullah that now we are following the true faith of Bahaullah, otherwise we were following an organization which was devoid of a living Guardian.

The formation of this council was not easy and had its own share of challenges. We successfully overcame all the hurdles in the way and we accepted the true faith. We are sure there are many more waiting to be relieved from the clutches of the man made institution the universal house of Justice.

Our journey began during a National convention when two of our duly elected members were disqualified and their voting rights taken by the UHJ based on false information of Mr. Ramin Nabilzadeh and Bijan Farid who was observer appointed for the National convention.

The disgracing campaign was initiated By Ramin Nabilzadeh, Prof. Mehrdad (Because he was not elected that year) and Mr. Shamsher. They accused the duly elected member of being 

1. Involved in Gambling
2. Electioneering in the Election i.e. influencing the delegated to vote for him
3. Involvement in the financial bungling of Baha’i Funds
4. Involvement of illicit sexual relationship

In fact somewhere of the opinion that all the nine members were involved in influencing the delegates but then the accusation were levelled only against two people. The main man involved behind was Prof. Mehrdad who has been influencing the Baha’i election and expecting some favours from Mr. Foad Rehani and the UHJ. His activity and faith both are under question. He is now in contact with Mr. Farsheed Rohani the master planner and if in future some calamity befalls on Newday school we should not be surprised.

Anyhow after these defaming campaign and humiliation we searched and contacted our friend in many other countries and we came to know that everywhere the situation is same whether India, Bangladesh or Malaysia. Only those members are on NSA whom the UHJ wants. The other members are asked to resign and if they don’t do so, they are threatened to face the consequence of losing the voting rights or even to be declared as a covenant breaker. These ‘Selection” of the UHJ in the name of “Election” and many other things forced us to restart our “Independent investigation of Truth” which resulted that the Baha’i Faith should have a living Guardian.

Shoghi Effendi, writing in “The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah” stated that, “divorced from the institution of the Guardianship the World Order of Bahá’u’lláh would be mutilated…”.

The first Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith, Shoghi Effendi, declared that the Most Holy Book revealed by Bahá’u’lláh, the AQDAS, and the WILL AND TESTAMENT of `Abdu’l-Bahá “mutually confirm one another, and are inseparable parts of one complete unit.”

With our Independent search of the truth, we found that Orthodox Baha’i Faith is the True Baha’i Faith. Although we accepted the Faith some years back but now we have established the Local Council of Sialkot.

 Please acknowledge and recognized us. We will be looking forward for the Guidance.

 Secretary of the Local Baha’i Council of Sialkot

Orthodox Bahá'í Councils of Sialkot, Rawalpindi, Lyallpur and Karachi

In the Memory of The Local Bahai council of Sialkot, Rawalpindi, Lyallpur and Karachi who followed the True teachings of Bahaullah and followed the Second Guardian Charles Mason Remey. These Councils, by virtue of it’s their actions, repudiated the plot of Persian Hands of Cause who wanted to abandon the Guardianship, emphasized in the Will and Testament of Abdul Baha. This council was restored in 2002 under the Guardianship of the Third Guardian Joel B. Marangella and now following the Fourth Guardian Nosratullah Bahremand.

 

Question: Who shouted at the Hands, scolding them, shaking her finger at them, hammering the table with clenched fist and threatened to commit suicide or abandon the Baha’i Administration, in case if the Second Guardian is appointed?

 

Answer: She was nobody else than Ruhiyyih Rabbani programmed by Persian Hands to abandon the Guardianship. While the other Hands were to revolt at her behavior, the Persian Hands kept their heads down and said “Bally Bally” Yes.Yes.

 

When Ruhiyyih Rabbani made her statement at Kampala International Conference about abandoning the Guardianship, the Persian Hands criticized her and felt this statement to have been a most untimely declaration upon her part.

 

Says Mason Remey

 

"These are the Custodian (Persian Hands) who are so trusted by Baha’i world, playing a double game as it were to deceive the Baha’is.”

 

“I am much concerned about the future of Ruhiyyih Khanum’s career as a Baha’i because I know that this Cause of God is going to live and to prosper and since this is to be true there must needs be the continuation of the Guardianship. In other words, the Cause is, I believe, destined to be continued and this will mean that sooner or later, Ruhiyyih Khanum, like all the rest of the believers will come under his command and this will be a supreme test for her especially should the second Guardian of the Baha’i Faith have a wife to take the position of the First Lady of the Faith!”

 

“Ruhiyyih Khanum and the Persian Hands are of the fixed intention that the Guardianship is Bada or was definitely ended for this Dispensation of one thousand years with the death of Shoghi Effendi. Of course, they do not say this openly to the world, nevertheless this conviction constantly shows itself in things they say and advocate and things they do. Leroy Loas seems to feel at times that the Guardianship should not thus be scrapped, but he stands firmly for the 1963 program. Milly Collins and Paul Haney seem to be bewildered upon this point - they feel that it will come out somehow by the Grace of God, but which way and how they have no idea.”

 

“Yesterday morning there was such a scene that Leroy was so upset that he refused to be at the prayer meeting that afternoon at the Shrine. Ruhiyyih Khanum, who was so near to Shoghi Effendi for so many years of their married life, takes command of all matters dictating to the others, assuming that she knows exactly what the Guardian would have done under circumstances such as these that confront us; therefore, she in no uncertain terms lays down the law to us shaking her finger at us and often shouting at us giving emphasis to what she is saying by hammering the table before her with clenched fist (as yet she has not come to the point of shaking her fist at any of us). Leroy rebels at this - the Persians all take it. 1 don’t get what Paul Haney thinks - I laugh up my sleeve, at the same time fearful of what may happen to Ruhiyyih Khanum should a second Guardian appear upon this scene?”

 

“Ruhiyyih Khanum frequently threatens to commit suicide if she can’t have her way. I am afraid she may do so sometime in one of her tantrums but Milly (Collins) says there is no danger of her killing herself - that this is but a tantrum -but from my one experience in my own life such tantrums can end in dire tragedy. Leroy thinks that Ruhiyyih may snap and have to be put in an asylum. I feel that it is more likely that this condition may send him and not Ruhiyyih Khanum to the asylum. The Hands of the Faith should not expect harmony in the Baha’i World at large until they-the twenty-seven of us - are at harmony between ourselves.”

.."The Persian Baha’is do not want a Guardian to continue to rule the Faith. Neither does Ruhiyyih Khanum want the Guardianship to continue, for she would not like at all for herself to be second to another Guardian of the Faith, particularly if he should have a wife which if he had, his wife would be the First Lady of the Baha’i Faith Administration with Ruhiyyih Khanum then as the Dowager Lady of the Faith."

"One cannot help but feel such problems as these would be a most powerful incentive in Ruhiyyih Khanum’s life to weigh against her wanting any continuance of the Guardianship for now she is the ruling power in the Cause. She dictates practically everything. She has no intention of allowing the Guardianship to be continued and to suit her own wishes, she insists that there shall never be another Guardian and as she stated to me in a meeting of the Custodians: “Then after her no one would ever live in the Guardian’s house in Haifa.”

"Ruhiyyih Khanum at all times and upon all matters dictates to us (the Custodian Hands) as if she were still the link or channel for contact between the Guardian and us, the Hands, actually shaking her finger at us and occasionally striking with hand at the table before her. Occasionally Leroy Laos flies off the handle and there is a great flare up but then this quiets down and in the end she dominates the situation despite the fact that she is but one Hand of the several Custodian Hands. In other words, Ruhiyyih Khanum has assumed the direction of things and in a very scolding and an out-of-patience tone of voice that in itself is an indication that things are not the way they should be within her own psychology."

"All (this) resolves itself down to the fact that the Cause needs the institution of the Guardianship to carry it on and will suffer and go to pieces unless we have a Guardian and end this confused state of leadership that Ruhiyyih Khanum and the Persian Hands have thrust us into and so far have dominated the Hands with."

"During the discussion someone suggested that possibly Hermann thought that the Universal House of Justice might re-establish the Guardianship. Whereupon Ruhiyyih Khanum said that she was unalterably opposed to our having another Guardian and that if there were ever one appointed, that she would abandon Haifa and the Baha’i Administration and take herself somewhere up in the wilds of Tibet, there to hide herself from all Baha’is!"

"While for some time it has been quite clear that such was Ruhiyyih Khanum’s attitude toward the Guardianship, this which said to us today tells us in plain language, not to be misunderstood exactly how she feels - in other words, she does not want the continuation of the Guardianship and threatens to walk out upon the Guardianship if it ever be established! In reality, Ruhiyyih Khanum is the dictator of the Custodian Hands in the Holy Land. In one of her addresses before the Kampala Conferences, now over a year ago, she announced that the Guardianship was definitely closed and ended. In a subsequent meeting of the Custodians here, she made the definite statement that after her present tenure of the Guardian’s house (at 7 Persian Street, Haifa) that no one would ever be in residence there (after her present tenure of those premises)."

"When faced by someone who quoted her Kampala statement (here some weeks ago) she said that she had spoken in Kampala at (the Intercontinental Conference) without thinking and had she thought over the matter, she would not have made such an announcement. The Custodians felt this statement to have been a most untimely declaration upon her part. Thus are these Custodian Hands, who are so trusted by the Baha’i world, playing a double game, as it were, to deceive the Baha’is..."

Development of Orthodox Baha'is in Pakistan

Below is the year wise development of Orthodox Baha’is’ in Pakistan. The orthodox Baha’is’ are the True Baha’is’ but because the covenant breakers are also calling themselves as Baha’is; it is needed that to separate Truth from falsehood, we call ourselves as ORTHODOX BAHAIS.

Mason Remey was the Second Guardian of the Baha'I Faith because: Shoghi Effendi appointed him as President of the International Baha'i Council, and called it the "embryonic" International House of Justice and the President of the Universal House of Justice was to be the Guardian.Thus, Shoghi Effendi wanted Charles Mason Remey to be the next Guardian by his appointment as President of the IBC (which would become the UHJ). Mason Remey was the adopted son of 'Abdu'l-Baha (spiritually), and thus a adopted Aghsan (Branch). 'Abdu'l-Baha prophesied that Mason Remey would be the next Guardian by saying, "Ere long thou shalt be a sign of guidance unto mankind".

At the death of Shoghi Effendi, while he was in London, his widow put out a telegraph stating that the Guardian was "very ill"; knowing he was in fact deceased.

When the Hands later met in Haifa to open the safe, they broke the seal, and they found no Will and Testament. Later that night, one of the Hands (a Persian) later told other Persian Hands that the Guardianship was "BADA" (i.e. God changed His mind on the matter), and that the Guardianship was over for all time. At first the American and British Baha'is were appauled by such a doctrine, but they later recanted, and all (including Remey) signed a document stateing that the Guardian left no successor, so the Hands would now be the HEAD of the Faith. Instead, Ruhiyyih Khannum (widow of Shoghi Effendi) and the Persian Hand who came up with the new "BADA" doctrine of the Guardianship, and a few others, DISBANDED the International Baha'i Council, and formed a new institution called the "Custodians". These were be 9 Hands who would run the Faith. This included Ruhiyyih Khannum and some "hand picked" Hands who would support her and her decisions. For all practical purposes, Khannum "ruled" the Baha'i Faith from that point until her death.
