“Hands of the Cause of God - Volume 3: Reflections on the Hands of the Cause” is the third part of a four-part documentary series about The Hands of the Cause of God.
This outstanding four-part documentary series recounts the lives of the Hands of the Cause of God within the historical context of the Baha’i Faith. Told through first-person interviews and incredible never-before-seen archival footage, their incredible lives and service come to life in a powerful way, and which will inspire future generations.
Over half a century elapsed from the appointment of the first contingent of Hands of the Cause of God by Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Baha’i Faith.
Belonging to a divinely ordained institution initiated by Baha’u’llah in the latter years of His Ministry towards the end of the 19th century, these heroic souls elevated to the rank of “Hand of the Cause of God” have followed Abdu’l-Baha’s exhortation to “diffuse the divine fragrances”, in their many travels and duties assigned to them.
The aim of the producers of Volumes 3 and 4 of this series is to provide a glimpse of these individuals in various settings and events around the world. Organized by topic in chronological order, the episodes help create the atmosphere of what it would have been like to be in their presence and partake of their knowledge and wisdom.
The sections covered in Volume 3 include:
- German summer school of 1936.
- History of the Declaration of the Bab and 100th Anniversary celebrations in the United States and Persia.
- Belief and teachings, circa 1944.
- 1948 Human Rights Commission.
- Construction of the Shrine of the Bab.
