“The third printing of this memorable book appears at a time when our beloved Amatu’l-Bahá Rúḥíyyih Khánum has taken her flight to the Realm of Glory. Now that she is released from the bondage of this world, her influence, like that of all great souls, will be much greater and her light radiating from on high much brighter.

The shining example of Amatu’l-Bahá, who has blessed India through her several visits, remains before the beloved friends in that country. Her great love and high aspirations for the people of India are well known and are clearly shown in this book. It is only appropriate that the Indian friends should compensate for their feeling of great loss by exerting efforts to fulfil what she had cherished for them and to bring about the vision she held vividly in her mind about the great destiny of India and its people.

The author hopes that through observing the approach of Amatu’l-Bahá’í to people she had never met before and studying her method of addressing them, not only with simplicity and sincerity but with graphic and captivating examples, others may be challenged to arise and follow in her footsteps and in their turn share the glad tidings of the coming of Bahá’u’lláh with the people of the world.

We owe Rúḥíyyih Khánum so much. Let us cause her radiant soul to rejoice in the Abhá Kingdom at our faithfulness to her loving heritage." ~ Hushmand Fatheazam,Haifa, 2000
