Temas e Destinatários da Epístola aos Reis (Súray-i-Mulúk): Epístola revelada por Bahá'u'lláh, em Adrianópolis (1868) - Oliveira,Marco (2004)
Study Guide to Súriy-i-Mulúk.
Este texto pretende apresentar um breve estudo dos temas e destinatários da Epístola aos Reis (Súriy-i-Mulúk). Talvez possa ajudar quem não estiver muito familiarizado com o estilo de escrita do fundador da religião Bahá’í. Lembro-me que sempre senti alguma dificuldade em compreender o estilo de escrita de Bahá'u'lláh; o texto não está dividido em capítulos e os temas cruzam-se de forma natural. Entre palavras de advertência ou louvor a algum crente, podemos encontrar orações e citações das escrituras do passado. Além disso, as referências a Deus são geralmente seguidas por alguns dos Seus títulos (exemplo: "o Omnisciente", "o Omnipotente", "o Amparo no Perigo", "o que Subsiste por Si Próprio"). Entre parêntesis rectos indica-se o nº do parágrafo citado. From povodebaha.blogspot.com.

Temple Song - Waite,Louise R. (Baha'i News, 1910)
Sheet music and audio for an early American Bahá'í song.
Available from Star of the West, volume 1, issue 4, pg. 30. Encoding of another work of Louise Waite's has begun as well: Bahai Hymns of Peace and Praise. The musical score, MIDI, and audio output were obtained utilizing the Mediawiki Score extension with the Lilypond syntax (obtainable in the wiki source of the Star of the West issue mentioned above). The work is in the public domain outside of the U.S. due to the author having passed over 70 years ago (May 27, 1939 per p. 8 of Music, Devotions, and Mashriqu'l-Adhkar) and within the U.S. due to it having been published before 1923 (in 1908 per p. 39 of ibid.).

The 10th Stage of History: The First 50 Years: 1963-2013: Pioneering Over Four Epochs, Section VIII Poetry - Price,Ron (Pioneering Over Four Epochs: An Autobiographical Study and a Study in Autobiography, 2006)
In 1953 Shoghi Effendi outlined a ten stage sequence or framework for the study of contemporary history from a Bahá'í perspective. In this framework the 10th, and final stage, began in 1963. All of my pioneering life has taken place in this stage.
The focus for the poetry and prose found in this document is on the first half century of this tenth and final stage of history(1963-2015)beginning, as that stage did, with the world's first global and democratic election. The Universal House of Justice, the trustee of the global undertaking set in motion by events over a century ago, and associated with the life of Bahá'u'lláh, has been at the centre of my life since 1963 when I was 19. The Universal House of Justice, with its seat in Haifa Israel, represents another institutional stage in the fully legitimate institutionalization, routinization as the sociologist Max Weber might have put it, of Bahá'u'lláh's charismatic Force. My poetry and prose in this document deals with aspects of the first fifty-two years since this apex of Bahai Administration was put in place, and since this 10th stage of history has begun to unravel decade by decade from 1963 to 2015. In many ways my life goal has been to serve as a precisioned instrument for this trustee of the global undertaking outlined in the massive corpus of Bahá'u'lláh's writings: 1852-1892. These early decades, the first half century, of this 10th stage of history, as well as the 9th stage(1953-1963) during which I was first associated with this Faith, can also be seen as part of a prelude to an eventual mass conversation to the Bahá'í Faith. Often not very precisioned an instrument, this pioneer tells his story, his Faith's story and his society's story--only part of these now massive and complex stories. The subject matter here, part of a large poetic opus-epic, I dedicate to that trustee. I trust I offer, too, a perspective on the feeling of confidence with which Bahá'ís the world over contemplate the future of our planet and our race in spite of the many calamities of our time.
