Lotus Temple
Located in Kalkaji in the south of Delhi, it is lotus shaped and has
rightly been
given the name. It is made of marble, cement, dolomite
and sand. It is open to all faiths and is an ideal place for
meditation and obtaining peace and tranquility.
It is a very recent architectural marvel of the Bahai faith. The
Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions.
Its founder, Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892), is regarded by Bahá'ís as the
most recent in the line of Messengers of God that stretches back
beyond recorded time and that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha,
Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.
The central theme of Bahá'u'lláh's message is that humanity is one
single race and that the day has come for its unification in one
global society. God, Bahá'u'lláh said, has set in motion historical
forces that are breaking down traditional barriers of race, class,
creed, and nation and that will, in time, give birth to a universal
civilization. The principal challenge facing the peoples of the
earth is to accept the fact of their oneness and to assist the
processes of unification.
