The Baha'i Faith is an independent world religion founded by Baha'u'llah in 1863. For more information about the Baha'i Faith see the Official Site.

I'm hearing-impaired, my computer has no sound card, or I don't feel like listening. Is there any way to read transcripts of the series?
Yes. The original typewritten transcripts have been scanned with OCR and are mostly text searchable.  Non-English names and words are usually not searchable. 
 

How can I purchase the audiotapes?

The tape sets are no longer in stock.  Note that some Local Spiritual Assemblies have purchased the tapes for their libraries.

Are the audio files exact matches of the tapes?
To minimize file size the audio downloads are not exact matches of the tapes. The complete story of each tape is available, but acknowledgements,  some filler music, and descriptions of other tapes in the series have been removed.  The new, higher quality MP3 files were produced from the complete tapes, then edited for audio quality, preserving the original story content.

Are the programs available on CD?
Not presently. Options are being explored for this avenue.  Contact us if you have specific needs and we will see what can be done.

How do I report a problem with a downloaded file, such as corruption, erroneous information, or missing material from an audio file or transcript?
Contact Grace Shahrokh. She will forward the message to the webmaster.
