To All the believers in Baha’u’llah and the faithful ones in His Covenant

As the result of an accident the late Guardian, Jacques Soghomonian, broke his hip on Saturday, August 31, 2013. Immediately he was taken to hospital and after several days on 5th of September 2013 he was operated to treat the fractured bone caused by the accident. The operation was successful but the coming out of anaesthesia was more critical. His condition was not well. I called Françoise, the Guardian’s daughter at 10:00 am Paris local time, 6 th of September, 2013 and I was advised that the Guardian was injected with painkiller. Again at 1:00 pm Paris local time I called Françoise and she advised me that the Guardian has left this world at 12 noon, 6thSeptember, 2013. The believers may also know that the Guardian also had kidney complication for several years. He had to do dialysis at the hospital three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from early to late afternoon.

The Guardian’s f uneral was arranged for Thursday 12 September 2013.

On 10 September, 2013 I left Sydney for Marseille, France to attend the funeral. The Hands of the Cause Mr. Beat Edelmann, Miss Amy Krueger and I together with the family of Jacques Soghomonian, his daughters and his sons and family and friends attended the funeral. The Guardian’s funeral was completed by reading Baha’i prayer for death by E. S. Yazdani. The burial place is near Marseille, France.

Jacques Soghomonian, the 4th Guardian, protected the cause of Baha’u’llah from the death of his predecessor D. A. Harvey to his o wn ascension to Abha kingdom on 6 September, 2013. He was succeeded by his appointed successor.

On the 9th day of ascension of Jacques Soghomonian, the 4th Guardian of the Baha’i Faith, I am writing, with utmost humbleness, to announce my status as the present and the 5th Guardian of the Baha’i Faith. I am making no claim of myself. I have been appointed to the position of Guardianship of the Baha’i Faith by my predecessor Jacques Soghomonian in his open letter of February 10th, 2005 and his confirmation in his last open letter of 27 of May, 2013. In accordance with the Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l -Baha, I have been ascended to the position of Guardianship from the time Jacques Soghomonian left this plane to the next, that is 12 noon, September 6th 2013 Paris local time.

The line of Guardianship has not been broken and the members of the so called universal house of justice and their misled supporters should note that whatever have been revealed by the Pen of Baha’u’llah and His appointed Center of Covenant; ‘Abdu’l -Baha has been and will be manifested in this world. The Kingdom of God foretold by Christ two thousand years ago will be established in this world. Attempts made by ex-Hands of the Faith to end the continuation of Guardianship in the World Order of Baha’u’llah, that has shown its ugly face since ascension of the 1st Guardian of the Faith, “seem for a while able to create a breach in the ranks of the faithful, recede finally into the obscurity of oblivion, and are thought of no more.”

At this point in time that the human family have denied themselves of the light of the Faith of Baha’u’llah and those that separated themselves from the Spirit of Baha’u’llah by denying Guardianship of C. M. Remey and set themselves on a deviated path; I call upon you all to join with me to pray for unity of mankind and say: “ Lauded be Thy name, O Lord my God! Darkness hath fallen upon every land, and the forces of mischief have encompassed all the nations. Through them, however, I perceive the splendors of Thy wisdom, and discern the brightness of the light of Thy providence. They that are shut out as by a veil from Thee have imagined that they have the power to put out Thy light, and to quench Thy fire, and to still the winds of Thy grace. Nay, and to this Thy might beareth me witness! Had not every tribulation been made the bearer of Thy wisdom, and every ordeal the vehicle of Thy providence, no one would have dared oppose us, though the powers of earth and heaven were to be leagued against us. Were I to unravel the wondrous mysteries of Thy wisdom which are laid bare before me, the reins of Thine enemies would be cleft asunder. Glorified be Thou, then, O my God! I beseech Thee by Thy Most Great Name to assemble them that love Thee around the Law that streameth from the good-pleasure of Thy will, and to send down upon them what will assure their hearts. Potent art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. Thou art, verily, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. ”

My dearly beloved friends and faithful in His Covenant be assure that the Cause of Baha’u’llah is protected and the future is bright. “The whole earth” Baha’u’llah forecasted “is now in a state of pregnancy. The day is approaching when it will have yielded its noblest fruits, when from it will sprung forth the loftiest tree, the most enchanting blossoms, the most heavenly blessings.”

Currently the present Guardian is working on a three years plan in which its details will be revealed in due course.

May God bless you all and protect you under all conditions

Your true friend
