‘Abdu’l-Bahá in New York: Centenary of His Visit to America 

<br/><br/> Of all the historical, religious and cultural events in the history of the United States, the arrival of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in 1912 was, for his devotees, the most important event of all. Many people–from all parts of society–had the honor to meet him, attend his talks, benefit from his wisdom and witness his benevolence and humility. For many of these individuals, their encounter with ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was life-altering: he touched the depths of their souls and awakened them spiritually. We hope that this re-telling of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s days in New York City will be both inspiring and illuminating and bring the reader closer to this unique figure in spiritual history whose life will serve as a model of the true spiritual and ethical life for centuries to come.
