Saturday August 17th at 6:30 pm
Bahá’í Faith Community Center
6910 E. Shea Blvd. Scottsdale, AZ 85254
Please join us for a special presentation by Mr. Fariborz Sahba, Architect of the Terraces of the Shrine of the Báb in Haifa, Israel and the Bahá’í House of Worship, the Lotus Temple in New Delhi, India.
Bahá’ís believe that the Báb [The Gate] is one of the Twin Manifestations of God for this new cycle of human history. He proclaimed to be the Promised One of Islam, the Mahdi or Qá’im. His coming fulfills the spiritual return of Elijah and John the Baptist, as well as the saoshyant referred to in Zoroastrianism. The Báb was the Forerunner to Bahá’u’lláh and Herald of the Bahá’í Faith. The Terraces on Mt. Carmel in Haifa, Israel surround the Shrine of the Báb where He is buried and signify the Eighteen Letters of the Living who were His Disciples.
The Lotus Temple, as known in India, is the Mother Temple of Asia and the Indian subcontinent. All Bahá’í Houses of Worship are comprised of nine sides and a dome surrounded by meditative gardens. In India, the lotus is a symbol of spiritual renewal and transformation.
