TO BAHA’IS OF INDIA SUPPORTING THE THIRD GUARDIAN

I welcome with grateful and joyous heart the recognition and support expressed in your Naw Ruz letter.

Those who have not done so should read my appeal appearing in the Times of India of April 29, 1991 and all should restudy the Dispensation of Bahá’u’lláh and Master’s divinely conceived, sacred and immutable Will and Testament — a document Shoghi Effendi stated forms with the Aqdas “inseparable parts of one complete unit.”

The faithful friends are urged to summon to courage to sever themselves from the sans-Guardian organisation. Loyalty to the Covenant of Bahá’u’lláh is based on one’s fidelity to the “Center of the Cause” who is none other than the living Guardian of the Faith, for ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in His Will and Testament states “All must be under his shadow and obey his command.”

The first Bahá’í group to attain Assembly status under my Guardianship will be provisionally designated The Mother Bahá’í Council of India to differentiate it from the heterodox Organisation.

Therefore it is essential that the Guardian be informed as groups develop and expand and an address (at least a central address) be provided for communication purposes
