Mrs
Gloria Javed a high ranking official and a member of continental board of
counsellor of Bahai Faith in India who
reports directly to the Universal House of Justice in Israel in a recent
interview about the teaching of Bahai Faith in India agrreed that Bahais are
involved in conversion of Indian in a deceptive manner.She said that we have
now become more straight foreward in making Indian people as Bahais because the Universal House of Justice has asked us to do that.
She said
that after a certain time we ask from our seeker (Chidren and Jr. Youth) that
would they like to become Bahais:
“you reach a point
when you invite seeker to become a Bahai and that was something we have never
done before because we have been in institute process and we have been focusing
core activity and just inviting people to the core activity but not asking them
that question (Conversion) and the first time in Jan we could not find the
words use many different nonaligned by
building the world order and would you like to be be like us we did different
things and than other board member my colleague use the example of we are all
drop and we all get together we can make a change in this world but after three
cycles of growth we become more audacious and this last time we ask the seeker
do you think Bahullah as the manifestation of god.”
Regarding the conversion of the parents of these children and Jr.
Youth , she said that , “We call the parents of the children and Jr. Youth and
ask them to become Bahais:”
“we announce to them that we would now like to talk to you about
what is the force behind us working with your children over this long period
and why we are working with them so that you can support us and you can help us
and we immediately divide the parents into small groups and each of us sits
with them with the album and directly teaches them faith and invite them to be
bahais and they accept just like that and parents are receptive and
consolidation are easier as we have already have their children with us every
week.”
On the
other hand we see that the member of Universal House of Justice , Mr. Payman
Mohajer saying that........
Now if someone were to ask us whether the purpose of our inviting
them to join study circles is to make them Bahá’ís, we can confidently say 'NO'
and tell them that the purpose of our core activities is to assist in the
transformation and betterment of society."
This is a clear
Hypocrisy and cheating in the Name of Faith.The Indians should be aware of this
CHEATING.It is not a hidden fact that many Indians who joined Bahai Faith
thinking that it is a Faith are now questioning the Bahai authorities that WHY
DO WE CHEAT THE PEOPLE IN THE NAME OF TEACHING.

FULL TEXT OF THE
INTERVIEW
Interviewer: So Gloria you come from New Delhi we heard about lot of success
is there using Annas presentation there so please tell about what had happen in
new Delhi
Gloria: Actually we started using Anna presentation in Januray of 2007
and the main purpose of using flip chart is to go thorough sequence of itr in
sir quotation of writing of Bahullah.
India very big problem of teaching is that people didn’t mentioned
that Bahai Faith is religion in the begining and the bahullah is the
manifestation of God just like Lord Krishna and Jeses christ and that he is the
promised one of all and if you look at that of anna presentation all these
things is writing of first page so than you are not hiding anything from the
seeker being bold being assertive you have been audacious as the HOUSE OF
JUSTICE ask to do than you are teaching them directly so when they accept the Bahai
faith they are accepting as a religion and accepting Bahullah as the
manifestation of the God and not as the organization that does good thing and
lotus temple that accept all the religions being unity of all religion
because I think Bahai faith in India is known as force that unites
all religion but they don’t know about Bahullah and Bahai faith as religion. I
think that made us very bold and we were very afraid to do it first time in
January but I think that when you make your self do something that you have
never done before and you do it for Baha’u’llah it works.
In we didn’t go into controversial topics in annas presentation
and you explain them and you reach a
point when you invite seeker to become a Bahai and that was something we have
never done before because we have been in institute process and we have been
focusing core activity and just inviting people to the core activity but not
asking them that question (Conversion) and the first time in Jan we could not
find the words use many different nonaligned
by building the world order and would you like to be be like us we did
different things and than other board member my colleague use the example of we
are all drop and we all get together we can make a change in this world but
after three cycles of growth we become more audacious and this last time we ask
the seeker do you think Bahullah as the manifestation of god.
Interviewer:Directly as that and what stage of presentation did you ask them
Gloria: Well actually we realize that we cannot go through the whole
album and seekers will get tired and loose their interest so went through
various Indian concept of covenant and manifestation of God of Bahullah being
most latest and unity of mankind. We stop at the quotation of Abdul Baha and
thought of more coming from their side but if they are sitting and they have
more time than we are also going to the life of Baha’u’llah because in India
there are many Gurus people are following gurus and they think Bahullah is just
another guru than we talk about how manifestation of god are different how they
suffer from mankind and how yet they are so victorious and we compare it lives
of many of gurus in India and how wealthy and prosperous living comfortable
life and than compare him so that they don’t put him on same level various
gurus so if we have time we go to victory of Bahullah
And the two quotes is use that we have produce over here yes we
hold it in our hand that was also challenge first time i took it out from my
bag I extremely conscious and than I relaise that they don’t know that this is
first time i am holding in my hand and I am very uncomfortable and nervous they
think I am always do it and this is what how we teach our faith and actually
ask the seeker to read and it really effects them and we don’t realize that we
if we explain to them they will more touched but they read the words they have
their side so we went ahead just using annas presentation and direct teaching
approach and inviting to bahais and its not that we all afraid do it but think
that they will feel that we are pressurizing them and making them something
they don’t want to do but it is not like that we have experience over and over
that people are ready to accept Bahullah and we are the person who need to ask
them and this was in suburban and central in Delhi In the beginning it was
suburban there were receptive population reside they are not wealthy but they
are not jobless they all have jobs the workers at different stages but in the
last two cycle we have also started affluent of neighborhood of Delhi and we
have smaller population there but then to we use annas presentation we have
bank managers, executives, young professional working in call center and these
the Indian that are educated in various field we guess we consider them
materialistic and think that they won’t listen but they do they do mainly it
was devotional in the home followed by annas presentation and actually divide
them to smaller groups and talk to them.
Interviewer How you involve children parents to do the class and involve them
and would you explain little about that
Gloria it is the neighborhood where we have junior youth classes,
children classes we consider their parents to be community of interest so then
every cycle we hold devotional in neighborhood at large scale and infact we
print thousand invitation we give to youth and children of our classes to give
parents, neighbors, relatives, and their friends and performed what they
learned in their classes during their 3 months. Small sketch stories and
confirmation based on what they learned and after junior youth performance we
see the total change in their parents both the mothers and their fathers you
can see the expressions on their faces and right after performances of junior
youth we announce to them that we would now like to talk to you about what is
the force behind us working with your children over this long period and why we
are working with them so that you can support us and you can help us and we
immediately divide the parents into small groups and each of us sits with them
with the album and directly teaches them
faith and invite them to be bahais and they accept just like that and parents
are receptive and consolidation are easier as we have already have their
children with us every week.
Interviewer What are you are doing in JB tell us something about that?
Gloria My
understanding that Johannesburg we have good activities that inviting seekers
to core activity. They have large number of seekers in their devotionals
children and junior youth but they have not able to teach their parents
directly so we just came here to teach them with annas presentation people
think that we have to complete the whole book but we can just do 15 to 20 minutes and invite the person to be a bahai
that’s what we basically did we approach the parents of junior youth the
seekers who are coming to the devotional of bahai homes they have never been
taught the faith directly so we went and taught them the faith so we did here
the same thing that we did in new delhi but here was more tiring as we go home
to home and sometime only person. Ok great we look forward to result.
