ITANAGAR | Oct 21 | The world has been celebrating bicentenary of Bahaullah’s birth in 1817 in Persia (Iran) and Arunachal Pradesh Bahais will join the celebration tomorrow.

Religious heads, professionals, GoAP officers, NGO representatives, students and children will join the celebration.

Baha’u’llah was tortured and imprisoned for 40 years by monarchs and fanatic religious heads and exiled to Akka city in Israel where his fearless proclamation running into 100 volumes had steered the conscience of all sensible intellectuals. The noble soul endeavoured for peace and tranquility of global humanity believing that “The earth is but one country and mankind its citizen”.

Though he ascended to heaven on 29.05.1892 from Akka after declaring himself as messenger of god, but his messages to the humanity rising above caste, creed, religion, region and sex discrimination had lead kindly light to evolve the Bahai community.  Akka turned into the holiest city of the Bahai’s faith, inhabited by Jews, Muslims, Christians and Bahais, who have been working conscientiously breaking all barriers for a united world.

Local Spiritual Assembly of Bahais here would congregate at Vivekananda Hall of RKM  Hospital for the event, according to local in-charge Chhabi Nayak.

Six million Bahais, including two million Indians, in about one lakh  localities world-wide are celebrating the occasion, including in Delhi’s Lotus Temple. The monumental structure was built in 1986 in respect of the founder-prophet which stands tall reflecting the universal faith and its relevance to the humanity, Nayak added.
