Has anyone been to the most holy spot in the Bahá'í world: Bahji, near Acre, Israel, the resting place of Bahaullah's earthly remains |

Go to: http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/inl.../view/5a3c?b=3 But it's somewhat faded ....You can see the Mediterranean Sea in the background and the Haram-i-Aqdas in the foreground as viewed from the Mansion itself. - Art :rolleyes | |

I've been there as well. I had the incredible bounty of sleeping in the Mansion when I was on Pilgrimage in 1969.

Sleeping in the Mansion sounds like a bounty few of us will have! Could you expand on that! I'd like to hear more... - Art |

Yes, and it is quite magical. The only thing i regret was that i was more interested in taking pictures home than to enjoy the spirit of the Holy Site. Next time I'll be sure to appreciate it more. |
