This episode (no. 66) was recorded at The Hill Street Theatre in the Edinburgh Fringe on 9th August 2024. The panellists were Eppie Brilliant, Luis Alcada and Andy Bullick, and the host was Richard Pulsford. We presented On This Day topics from across a wide historical timespan: - the Battle of Adrianople, on 9th August 378 - the Leaning Tower of Pisa was founded, on 9th August 1173 - the patent for the world's first washing machine was issued, on 9th August 1910 - singer Cliff Richard signed with EMI records, on 9th August 1958 - novelist Herman Hesse died, on 9th August 1962 - Britain's first nudist beach opened, on 9th August 1979

Granddaughter of bear-loving Emperor Valentinian I, granddaughter of last-of-the-mohicans Count Theodosius, and daughter of Emperor Theodosius who salvaged the Empire after Adrianople, Galla Placidia had the bluest blue running through her veins.  One might be tempted to think, that after having been born in this most privileged of positions, she had an easy life?  Yet that could not be farther from the truth.  Orphaned at the age of 3, besieged in Rome at 16, and kidnapped by the Goths at 17, life threw every conceivable challenge at Galla Placidia and she survived them all, surfing the tumultuous waves of chaos that buffeted the Western Roman Empire in its final days.  Our first female heroine candidate earned every last little ounce of the legend surrounding her life.  

Theodosius, son of the legendary Count Theodosius, was thrust into one of the most desperate situations in Rome's history, in the wake of the utter bloodbath at Adrianople in 378AD.  Inheriting the mantle of the East, with no army to call upon, and with the Goths rampaging in the Roman heartland, for some reason, Theodosius answered the call, in somehow, he would find a way to put the pieces together again.

On August 9, 378, one of the most important battles in history took place.  While largely forgotten today, it was a critical battle that contributed to the collapse of the Roman Empire.  It wasn't just a loss for the Roman army; it also resulted in the death of an emperor, and it also contributed to the rise of a group known as the Visigoths, who would go on to spread throughout much of Europe over the next several centuries.  Learn more about the Battle of Adrianople and how it changed the course of history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

This is part 22 of the Early Church History class. This episode aims to wrap up our early church history class. We'll cover relics and pilgrimage, emperors Zeno and Justinian, as well as the theological battles that continued to rage in the 5th and 6th centuries. Unsurprisingly the christological controversy of the 5th century did not come to an end when the emperor endorsed the Council of Chalcedon of 451 that declared Jesus to have two natures "unconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, and inseparably." In addition to covering the Second Council of Constantinople of 553, we'll also briefly consider how the dual natures doctrine continued to foment division resulting in the Third Council of Constantinople in 681 and the Second Council of Nicea in 787.

Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here —— Notes —— Byzantine Beginnings 293 Diocletian initiated the division between east and west with his tetrarchy. 330 Constantine built a “New Rome” on the cite of old Byzantium, naming it Constantinople. Constantine's mother, Helena, initiated the pilgrimage movement. 381 Egeria wrote a travelogue to her friends that influenced later pilgrimages. Helena also sent Constantine relics of the true cross. 397 Martin of Tours died, leaving behind his cloak, which became a famous relic. Fifth Century Developments Theodosius I (r. 379-392) had outlawed pagan sacrifices and endorsed Trinitarian Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. Arian Germanic tribes moved into the western Roman Empire and began taking territory. 378 Visigoths win at Adrianople. 410 Alaric sacked Rome. 455 Vandals sacked Rome. 476 Odoacer deposes the last Roman Augustus. 493 Theodoric and the Ostrogoths took Italy. Zeno's Henotikon 451 Chalcedon affirmed the dyophysite position (two natures in one person). 488 Byzantine Emperor Zeno attempted to reconcile monophysites and dyophysites by condemning Eutyches and Nestorius and approving Cyril's 12 anathemas (Henotikon). Chalcedon remained controversial with Christianity now split into several groups: Arian Germanic kingdoms, monophysites (Egypt and Ethiopia), Chalcedonian dyophysites (Rome & Constantinople), and Nestorian dyophysites (Syria and Persia). Justinian (482-565) 525 Justinian married Theodora and became co-emperor with Justin. 527 Justinian became the sole emperor. 528 He initiated legal reforms under John the Cappadocian and Tribonian. 532 Nika riots 537 He finished Hagia Sophia, whispering, “O Solomon, I have surpassed you!” 555 He had retaken much of the Roman Empire, including Italy, North Africa, and part of Spain. More Christology Councils 553 Justinian called for the Second Council of Constantinople. Condemned the 3 chapters Condemned Nestorius Condemned Origen of Alexandria 681 Third Council of Constantinople Condemned monotheletism, concluding that Jesus had 2 wills that never conflict. 787 Second Council of Nicaea Iconoclasts were fighting with iconodules. Some considered icons Nestorian while others called them Monophysite. Affirmed veneration of icons. 843 Iconaclasm controversy broke out. Empress Theodora upheld the ruling of Nicaea II. Review In 293, Diocletian split the administration of the Roman Empire into east and west, appointing an Augustus in each. In 330, Constantine founded Constantinople in the old town of Byzantium, making it his administrative capital. While the west fell to Germanic Arians and the Huns, the Roman Empire in the east continued until 1453. Byzantine emperors played barbarian warlords off each other in an attempt to keep them from taking Constantinople. From the fourth century onwards, Byzantines embraced relics and pilgrimages to holy places. Byzantine emperor Justinian made a lasting impact on law via the work of Tribonian to identify, harmonize, and codify Roman law. Justinian succeeded, mostly due to the military genius of Belisarius, to retake northern Africa, Italy, and part of Spain. Justinian built and improved several churches, the most notable of which was his renovation of the Hagia Sophia. In 553, the Second Council of Constantinople condemned three writings critical of Cyril of Alexandria to reunite with the Egyptian and Syrian churches, but ultimately failed. In 681, the Third Council of Constantinople condemned monothelitism, affirming that Christ had two wills. In 787, the Second Council of Nicaea affirmed the veneration of icons, denying icons either were too monophysite or Nestorian.

This is part 19 of the Early Church History class. Even though the Roman Empire chose Nicene Christianity as it's "orthodoxy," subordinationist Christianity continued to exist, especially outside among the Germanic tribes. In this episode, you'll learn about Ulfilas the Missionary to the Goths who not only brought Christianity to these "barbarians," but also made them an alphabet and translated most of the bible into Gothic. Next, we'll briefly survey the major Germanic tribes, including the Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, Burgundians, Lombards, and finally the Franks. This little known chapter of history when the Arian kingdoms took over the Roman Empire had a massive effects on Europe and North Africa for centuries to come.

Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here —— Notes —— Ulfilas, Missionary to the Goths 340 Subordinationist bishops ordained Ulfilas bishop to the Visigoths 341-347 lived with the Goths and preached to them Ulfilas translated the Bible into Gothic. Rule of Faith: “I believe in one God the Father, alone ingenerate and invisible, and in his only-begotten Son, our Lord and God, artificer and maker of the whole creation, who has nobody like him–therefore there is one God the Father of all who is also God of our God–and in one Holy Spirit, the power which illuminates and sanctifies, as Christ said after the resurrection to his apostles, and he (i.e. the Spirit) is not God nor our God, but the minister of Christ ... subordinate and obedient in all things to the Son, and the Son subordinate and obedient in all things to his God and Father…”[1] Huns The Huns were a nomadic confederation of Mongolian tribes who began entering Europe in the fourth century. Ammianus Marcellinus described them as utter savages who never bathed or changed their clothes and lived on their horses. Atilla the Hun (r. 434-453) attacked Persia, the Balkans, Constantinople, Gaul, and Italy, terrifying many within the Roman Empire (both East and West). Visigoths Eudoxius, Bishop of Constantinople (r. 360-370) succeeding in establishing communion with Visigoths Eudoxius was an Anomean (Heteroousian) like Eunomius 376 Visigoths petitioned the emperor to enter the Roman Empire. Permission was granted, but local Roman leaders badly mistreated the Visigoths. 377 Visigoths rebelled. 378 Visigoths defeated and killed Emperor Valens at the Battle of Adrianople. 410 Alaric sacked and looted Rome. 418 Visigoths settled in Gaul, then Spain 589 Visigoths converted to Catholicism at the Council of Toledo. Ostrogoths 453 Atilla the Hun died, resulting in rebellion against the Huns. 476 Odoacer removed the last western Roman Augustus from power (Romulus Augustulus). 488-493 Byzantine Emperor Zeno asked Theodoric and Ostrogoths to conquer Italy and rule as his client. 493 Theodoric and Ostrogoths began ruling Italy as Arians over Roman Catholics. 535 Byzantine Emperor Justinian conquered Ostrogoths and retook Italy. Vandals 406 The Vandals crossed into Gaul, then into Spain in 409. Rome instigated the Visigoths (also in Spain) to attack the Vandals. 419 More Vandals came into Spain. 426 Vandals began raiding North Africa. 428 Under Gaiseric, 80,000 Vandals crossed the Strait of Gibraltar. 430 They conquered most of North Africa (Mauretania). Gaiseric was a devoted Arian who pillaged Catholic churches. The Vandals ruled North Africa for a century over the Roman Catholics. 455 They reinvaded Spain and Italy, sacking Rome. 533 Byzantine Emperor Justinian conquered the Vandals and retook North Africa. Burgundians 451 Arian Burgundians fought Atilla the Hun on behalf of Rome. 470 Migrated to Gaul and took Lyons 532 Franks defeated Burgundians, absorbing them. Lombards 568 Audoin the Lombard recruited a massive army made up of several barbarian tribes and invaded Italy. 574 Lombards split Italy into 30+ regions under the command of dukes (duces). Lombard kings were Arian from 6th century until Adaloald in 615 By late 7th century, the Lombards became Roman Catholics. Franks Childeric I (r. 457-481) began uniting Frankish tribes. Clovis I (r. 481-511) killed his rivals and became sole king of the Franks, establishing the Merovingian dynasty, which lasted until 751. Chlotild, the wife of Clovis I, was a Roman Catholic who tried to convince Clovis to become a Christian. 496 In a war with the Alamanni, he was losing and prayed to Christ for military victory. After he won, he and 3,000 from his army converted. Joseph Lynch: “The Franks turned out to be the toughest barbarians.”[2] The Franks flourished until the eighth century and were the ancestors of modern France, Germany, Italy, Holland, and Belgium. Review Subordinationist Bishop Ulfilas went on a mission to preach Christ to the Goths in the middle of the fourth century. Ulfilas invented a Gothic alphabet and translated the Bible into their language, sparking a movement that eventually led to the conversion of most of the Germanic tribes to Arian Christianity. When hordes of fierce Huns migrated West into Europe, Gothic tribes began migrating into the Roman Empire. Under Alaric, the Arian Visigoths conquered much of the Italian peninsula and even sacked Rome in 410 before migrating to Gaul and Spain. In the fifth century, Arian Ostrogoths under Theodoric conquered Italy and established themselves as a ruling class over the Trinitarian Romans there. In the fifth century, Arian Vandals conquered Spain then migrated to North Africa where they ruled for a century until the time of Justinian. In the fifth century, Arian Burgundians conquered and occupied Gaul until the Franks absorbed them in the sixth century. In the sixth century, Arian and Pagan Lombards conquered much of Italy, but converted to Trinitarian Catholicism in the seventh century. In the late fifth century, Clovis I, king of the Franks, converted from paganism to Trinitarian Christianity, eventually extending influence over surrounding Germanic tribes. From the fourth to the seventh centuries, Germanic tribes who held to Arian Christianity invaded and conquered much of the western Roman Empire, but either faced defeat by Justinian or else converted to Roman Catholicism.

Mystery Cults Course: Dr. M David Litwa https://gnosticinformant--pursuit4kno... The fall of the Western Roman Empire (also called the fall of the Roman Empire or the fall of Rome) was the loss of central political control in the Western Roman Empire, a process in which the Empire failed to enforce its rule, and its vast territory was divided into several successor polities. The Roman Empire lost the strengths that had allowed it to exercise effective control over its Western provinces; modern historians posit factors including the effectiveness and numbers of the army, the health and numbers of the Roman population, the strength of the economy, the competence of the emperors, the internal struggles for power, the religious changes of the period, and the efficiency of the civil administration. Increasing pressure from invading barbarians outside Roman culture also contributed greatly to the collapse. Climatic changes and both endemic and epidemic disease drove many of these immediate factors. The reasons for the collapse are major subjects of the historiography of the ancient world and they inform much modern discourse on state failure. In 376, unmanageable numbers of Goths and other non-Roman people, fleeing from the Huns, entered the Empire. In 395, after winning two destructive civil wars, Theodosius I died, leaving a collapsing field army, and the Empire, still plagued by Goths, divided between the warring ministers of his two incapable sons. Further barbarian groups crossed the Rhine and other frontiers and, like the Goths, were not exterminated, expelled or subjugated. The armed forces of the Western Empire became few and ineffective, and despite brief recoveries under able leaders, central rule was never effectively consolidated. By 476, the position of Western Roman Emperor wielded negligible military, political, or financial power, and had no effective control over the scattered Western domains that could still be described as Roman. Barbarian kingdoms had established their own power in much of the area of the Western Empire. In 476, the Germanic barbarian king Odoacer deposed the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire in Italy, Romulus Augustulus, and the Senate sent the imperial insignia to the Eastern Roman Emperor Zeno. While its legitimacy lasted for centuries longer and its cultural influence remains today, the Western Empire never had the strength to rise again. The Eastern Roman, or Byzantine Empire, survived and, although lessened in strength, remained for centuries an effective power of the Eastern Mediterranean. While the loss of political unity and military control is universally acknowledged, the Fall is not the only unifying concept for these events; the period described as late antiquity emphasizes the cultural continuities throughout and beyond the political collapse. The fall of Constantinople, also known as the conquest of Constantinople, was the capture of the capital of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Empire. The city was captured on 29 May 1453[13][14] as part of the culmination of a 53-day siege which had begun on 6 April. The attacking Ottoman Army, which significantly outnumbered Constantinople's defenders, was commanded by the 21-year-old Sultan Mehmed II (later nicknamed "the Conqueror"), while the Byzantine army was led by Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos. After conquering the city, Mehmed II made Constantinople the new Ottoman capital, replacing Adrianople.

The conquest of Constantinople and the fall of the Byzantine Empire was a watershed of the Late Middle Ages, marking the effective end of the last remains of the Roman Empire, a state which began in roughly 27 BC and had lasted nearly 1500 years. Among many modern historians, the Fall of Constantinople is considered the end of the medieval period. The fall was significant on the history of Europe, from the attitude, to the culture of the different nation states. Now, how would the world change if the Ottomans were repelled and Constantinople, and by extension, the Byzantine Empire didn't collapse when they did in 1453. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to discuss this further, or just want to contact us?

After its disastrous defeat at the Battle of Adrianople, you might think the late Roman Empire had enough problems already. But in Theodosius' reign, the Romans decided to add a few more in the form of civil wars and a bitter theological dispute. 

On the 9th August, AD 378, the eastern emperor Valens rode north from Adrianople to give battle to the Goths. The outcome of this conflict would prove decisive in the history of the fall of the Roman Empire.

The Gothic leader Fritigern (possibly based on the Gothic Frithugairns) is, perhaps, one of the most under-appreciated commanders in the ancient world. At the head of a complex confederation of Gothic tribes, he imposed a devastating defeat on the forces of the Western Roman empire at the battle of Adrianople (or Hadrianople) on August 9th, AD 378.

Significance of Repeating The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abha “`Abdu'l-Bahá teaches how the practice of invocation or repetition of “The Greatest Name” (Alláh-u-Abhá, God is Most Glorious) leads to union with God, illumination and spiritual rebirth. The use of invocation is well developed among the mystics of Islam, the Sufis. The repetition of sacred phrases is called dhikr (promounced zikr, meaning remembrance). This spiritual practice of invocation is praised by `Abdu'l-Bahá. He encourages spiritual seekers to “recite the Greatest Name at every morn, and (to) turn…unto the kingdom of Abhá, until though mayest apprehend the mysteries. Through the invocation fo the Greatest Name, `Abdu'l-Bahá maintains that “the doors of the kingdom of God open, illumination is vouchsafed and divine union results…The use of the Greatest Name, and dependence upon it, causes the soul to strip itself of the husks of morality and to step forth freed, reborn, a new creature.” `Abdu'l-Bahá encourages the use of the sacred phrase Alláh-u-Abhá as a focus for invocation: “The Greatest Name should be found upon the lips in the first awakening moment of early dawn. It should be fed upon by constant use in daily invocation, in trouble, under opposition, and should be the last word breathed when the head rests upon the pillow at night. It is the name of comfort, protection, happiness, illumination, love and unity. “ Pages 57-58 from the Book, Wisdom of the Masters: The Spiritual Teachings of `Abdu'l-Bahá, References 54-56 (The reference in the back of the book is below if you would like further details) “The Greatest Name, Symbol of the Cause”, Baha'i News (Oct 1964), p. 2. Also see Steven Scholl, “The Remembrance of God: An invocation Technique in Sufiism and the Writings of the Bas and Baha'u'llah, “ Baha'i Studies Bulletin (1985). Why say The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abhá 95 Times? In the book ‘Gate of the Heart' by Nader Saiedi, he explains that the significance of the number 95 originates from the Persian Bayán, where the Báb states that ninety-five stands for the numerical value of "for God" (lillāh), symbolizing the recognition of the manifestation of God and obedience to his laws, which are inseparable from each other, as confirmed by Bahá'u'lláh in the opening paragraph of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas. The 95 Alláh-u-Abhá Meditation audio is a meditation that includes a chanted repetition of the sacred word Alláh-u-Abhá, which means ‘God the All-Glorious'.  According to Note 33 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,  “It hath been ordained that every believer in God … shall, each day … repeat “Alláh-u-Abhá” ninety-five times. “Alláh-u-Abhá” is an Arabic phrase meaning “God the All-Glorious.” It is a form of the Greatest Name of God (see note 137). In Islám there is a tradition that among the many names of God, one was the greatest; however, the identity of this Greatest Name was hidden. Bahá'u'lláh has confirmed that the Greatest Name is “Bahá.”  The various derivatives of the word “Bahá” are also regarded as the Greatest Name. Shoghi Effendi's secretary writing on his behalf explains that  “The Greatest Name is the Name of Bahá'u'lláh. “Yá Bahá'u'l-Abhá” is an invocation meaning: “O Thou Glory of Glories!” “Alláh-u-Abhá” is a greeting which means: “God the All-Glorious.” Both refer to Bahá'u'lláh.

Significance of Repeating The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abha “`Abdu'l-Bahá teaches how the practice of invocation or repetition of “The Greatest Name” (Alláh-u-Abhá, God is Most Glorious) leads to union with God, illumination and spiritual rebirth. The use of invocation is well developed among the mystics of Islam, the Sufis. The repetition of sacred phrases is called dhikr (promounced zikr, meaning remembrance). This spiritual practice of invocation is praised by `Abdu'l-Bahá. He encourages spiritual seekers to “recite the Greatest Name at every morn, and (to) turn…unto the kingdom of Abhá, until though mayest apprehend the mysteries. Through the invocation fo the Greatest Name, `Abdu'l-Bahá maintains that “the doors of the kingdom of God open, illumination is vouchsafed and divine union results…The use of the Greatest Name, and dependence upon it, causes the soul to strip itself of the husks of morality and to step forth freed, reborn, a new creature.” `Abdu'l-Bahá encourages the use of the sacred phrase Alláh-u-Abhá as a focus for invocation: “The Greatest Name should be found upon the lips in the first awakening moment of early dawn. It should be fed upon by constant use in daily invocation, in trouble, under opposition, and should be the last word breathed when the head rests upon the pillow at night. It is the name of comfort, protection, happiness, illumination, love and unity. “ Pages 57-58 from the Book, Wisdom of the Masters: The Spiritual Teachings of `Abdu'l-Bahá, References 54-56 (The reference in the back of the book is below if you would like further details) “The Greatest Name, Symbol of the Cause”, Baha'i News (Oct 1964), p. 2. Also see Steven Scholl, “The Remembrance of God: An invocation Technique in Sufiism and the Writings of the Bas and Baha'u'llah, “ Baha'i Studies Bulletin (1985). Why say The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abhá 95 Times? In the book ‘Gate of the Heart' by Nader Saiedi, he explains that the significance of the number 95 originates from the Persian Bayán, where the Báb states that ninety-five stands for the numerical value of "for God" (lillāh), symbolizing the recognition of the manifestation of God and obedience to his laws, which are inseparable from each other, as confirmed by Bahá'u'lláh in the opening paragraph of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas. The 95 Alláh-u-Abhá Meditation audio is a meditation that includes a chanted repetition of the sacred word Alláh-u-Abhá, which means ‘God the All-Glorious'.  According to Note 33 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,  “It hath been ordained that every believer in God … shall, each day … repeat “Alláh-u-Abhá” ninety-five times. “Alláh-u-Abhá” is an Arabic phrase meaning “God the All-Glorious.” It is a form of the Greatest Name of God (see note 137). In Islám there is a tradition that among the many names of God, one was the greatest; however, the identity of this Greatest Name was hidden. Bahá'u'lláh has confirmed that the Greatest Name is “Bahá.”  The various derivatives of the word “Bahá” are also regarded as the Greatest Name. Shoghi Effendi's secretary writing on his behalf explains that  “The Greatest Name is the Name of Bahá'u'lláh. “Yá Bahá'u'l-Abhá” is an invocation meaning: “O Thou Glory of Glories!” “Alláh-u-Abhá” is a greeting which means: “God the All-Glorious.” Both refer to Bahá'u'lláh. By Greatest Name is meant that Bahá'u'lláh has appeared in God's Greatest Name, in other words, that He is the supreme Manifestation of God. “ The greeting “Alláh-u-Abhá” was adopted during the period of Bahá'u'lláh's exile in Adrianople.  The repetition of “Alláh-u-Abhá” ninety-five times is to be preceded by the performance of ablutions (see note 34).” Alláh-u-Abhá also appears in the Prayer for the Dead as indicated in Note 11 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,  “The passages that form part of the Prayer for the Dead comprise the repetition of the greeting “Alláh-u-Abhá” (God is the All-Glorious) six times, each followed by nineteen repetitions of one of six specifically revealed verses.”

Significance of Repeating The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abha “`Abdu'l-Bahá teaches how the practice of invocation or repetition of “The Greatest Name” (Alláh-u-Abhá, God is Most Glorious) leads to union with God, illumination and spiritual rebirth. The use of invocation is well developed among the mystics of Islam, the Sufis. The repetition of sacred phrases is called dhikr (promounced zikr, meaning remembrance). This spiritual practice of invocation is praised by `Abdu'l-Bahá. He encourages spiritual seekers to “recite the Greatest Name at every morn, and (to) turn…unto the kingdom of Abhá, until though mayest apprehend the mysteries. Through the invocation fo the Greatest Name, `Abdu'l-Bahá maintains that “the doors of the kingdom of God open, illumination is vouchsafed and divine union results…The use of the Greatest Name, and dependence upon it, causes the soul to strip itself of the husks of morality and to step forth freed, reborn, a new creature.” `Abdu'l-Bahá encourages the use of the sacred phrase Alláh-u-Abhá as a focus for invocation: “The Greatest Name should be found upon the lips in the first awakening moment of early dawn. It should be fed upon by constant use in daily invocation, in trouble, under opposition, and should be the last word breathed when the head rests upon the pillow at night. It is the name of comfort, protection, happiness, illumination, love and unity. “ Pages 57-58 from the Book, Wisdom of the Masters: The Spiritual Teachings of `Abdu'l-Bahá, References 54-56 (The reference in the back of the book is below if you would like further details) “The Greatest Name, Symbol of the Cause”, Baha’i News (Oct 1964), p. 2. Also see Steven Scholl, “The Remembrance of God: An invocation Technique in Sufiism and the Writings of the Bas and Baha’u’llah, “ Baha’i Studies Bulletin (1985). Why say The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abhá 95 Times? In the book ‘Gate of the Heart’ by Nader Saiedi, he explains that the significance of the number 95 originates from the Persian Bayán, where the Báb states that ninety-five stands for the numerical value of "for God" (lillāh), symbolizing the recognition of the manifestation of God and obedience to his laws, which are inseparable from each other, as confirmed by Bahá'u'lláh in the opening paragraph of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas. The 95 Alláh-u-Abhá Meditation audio is a meditation that includes a chanted repetition of the sacred word Alláh-u-Abhá, which means ‘God the All-Glorious’.  According to Note 33 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,  “It hath been ordained that every believer in God … shall, each day … repeat “Alláh-u-Abhá” ninety-five times. “Alláh-u-Abhá” is an Arabic phrase meaning “God the All-Glorious.” It is a form of the Greatest Name of God (see note 137). In Islám there is a tradition that among the many names of God, one was the greatest; however, the identity of this Greatest Name was hidden. Bahá’u’lláh has confirmed that the Greatest Name is “Bahá.”  The various derivatives of the word “Bahá” are also regarded as the Greatest Name. Shoghi Effendi’s secretary writing on his behalf explains that  “The Greatest Name is the Name of Bahá’u’lláh. “Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá” is an invocation meaning: “O Thou Glory of Glories!” “Alláh-u-Abhá” is a greeting which means: “God the All-Glorious.” Both refer to Bahá’u’lláh. By Greatest Name is meant that Bahá’u’lláh has appeared in God’s Greatest Name, in other words, that He is the supreme Manifestation of God. “ The greeting “Alláh-u-Abhá” was adopted during the period of Bahá’u’lláh’s exile in Adrianople.  The repetition of “Alláh-u-Abhá” ninety-five times is to be preceded by the performance of ablutions (see note 34).” Alláh-u-Abhá also appears in the Prayer for the Dead as indicated in Note 11 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,  “The passages that form part of the Prayer for the Dead comprise the repetition of the greeting “Alláh-u-Abhá” (God is the All-Glorious) six times, each followed by nineteen repetitions of one of six specifically revealed verses.”

This episode is based on two blogs, with a unified theme. Apologies for the croaky voice this week. Let's discuss some Messiahs and aliens. One.The year is 1666, the setting Adrianople in the Ottoman Empire – modern day Turkey. A middle aged preacher named Sabbatai Zevi, held captive since his arrival there, mulls over a difficult choice. Tomorrow he will be brought before the Ottoman Sultan Mehmet IV and be told to make a choice, a Monty Hall problem if ever there was one – though in his case there is no ‘behind one door there is a car, behind the other two doors, goats’ option. If only there were goats. Every door leads to death or disgrace. For close to a decade Zevi, a rogue Kabbalist rabbi, has been claiming to be the true son of God, and messiah. It is his proselytizing which has got him into this mess. Tomorrow he must choose instant execution, a trial by arrows or ‘the turban’Originally posted 10th March 2020. You can read the blog post here.Two.Today we join our tale towards it’s climax, at a suburban home in Oak Park, Illinois. The time and date, 6pm, 21st December 1954. A dozen or so suburbanites – just regular Americans really – gather round the lady of the house, convinced she has supernatural powers. They’ve been camped out at the house for several days now. Many have sacrificed everything to be there. Earlier in the day they may have sung Christmas carols on the lawn to onlookers. They stood outside for some time, gazing skyward, hoping their visitor from Clarion, Sanada, would just arrive already. Perhaps feeling the glare of the camera, they retreated inside. If Sanada can traverse galaxies, surely he’ll have no trouble finding 847 West School Street.Originally posted 17th March 2020.

It is the name of comfort, protection, happiness, illumination, love and unity. “ Pages 57-58 from the Book, Wisdom of the Masters: The Spiritual Teachings of `Abdu'l-Bahá, References 54-56 (The reference in the back of the book is below if you would like further details) “The Greatest Name, Symbol of the Cause”, Baha’i News (Oct 1964), p. 2.

Why say The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abhá 95 Times?

The 95 Alláh-u-Abhá Meditation audio is a meditation that includes a chanted repetition of the sacred word Alláh-u-Abhá, which means ‘God the All-Glorious’.  According to Note 33 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,  “It hath been ordained that every believer in God … shall, each day … repeat “Alláh-u-Abhá” ninety-five times. “Alláh-u-Abhá” is an Arabic phrase meaning “God the All-Glorious.” It is a form of the Greatest Name of God (see note 137).

378 - A vital crossroads in the timeline of the Roman Empire comes when thousands of Germans come flooding across the Roman border looking for refuge and Romans look to exploit the situation. Many interesting factors will contribute to the outcome which will leave scars in the minds of everyone involved.

Today we dive back thousands of years of history to see how all roads could still lead to Rome. See our website or leave us a voice memo

When the Goths turned up on the banks of the Roman frontier of the Danube river, they were desperate asylum seekers.But through some utterly inept Roman policy-making, they were turned into enemies and the Gothic War of 376-382 erupted.The Battle of Adrianople was the turning point in this war, allowing the Goths more or less free rein to rampage throughout Thrace, the Balkans and Greece - and it was the local Roman population which bore the brunt.The battle, the war, and the subsequent peace that was made had huge consequences for the integrity of the Roman Empire.There was a long way to go to the Fall of Rome, but it was a decisive moment with long-lasting repercussions. Welcome to the first episode in our series on the Fall of Rome - only Bitesize Battles.Subscribe here on your favourite podcast channel, and follow us on instagram @bitesizebattles to stay up to date with what's coming up.Thanks for listening.

What is the worst jerky in the history of mankind? What do World War 1 Germans have to do with 4th century steppe people? We'll also cover the year 378, Mesoamerica, China, Japan, Adrianople, Julian, and the Huns. Also who was "Bizarro Constantine" and why did Edward Gibbon really really really like him. We'll also cover the super simple invention that changed the next 1000 years and how to be "that guy" when you're watching a movie.

Robert asks, 'Was the Roman Army of the later Roman Empire really that bad as everyone believes? Were they really a shadow of the republican and early empire legions? Although they were defeated at Adrianople, other than that battle, they seemed to have done rather well against foreign enemies but were just stretched too thin and always involved in civil strife.'

El título de este episodio es "Bárbaros a las puertas – y en todas partes"Vivo en la costa del sur de California en uno de los lugares más bellos del planeta: el condado de Ventura. El clima es templado durante todo el año con una temperatura media de 70 grados. Las playas son prístinas y la mayoría de las veces, despobladas. El condado tiene varios lugares de surf de primera. Pero de vez en cuando, por lo general durante el invierno, las tormentas lanzan enormes olas que destrozan la playa. Algunas de estas tormentas son locales y lavan enormes montones de escombros de las colinas que luego se terminan en la playa. Otros están lejos hacia el sur, frente a la costa de México, pero vienen olas que viajan hacia el norte y erosionan toneladas de arena, alterando la costa.En el 5º y 6º siglo, oleadas de invasiones bárbaras del Norte y del Este arrasaron a Europa para alterar el paisaje político y cultural y impulsaron a la Europa hacia la Edad Media.Cuando el Obispo Agustín de Hipona murió en el año 430, los Vándalos asediaban su ciudad. Mientras que el Concilio de Calcedonia se reunía en el año 451, el Papa Leo estaba negociando con los Hunos para dejar a Roma sin ser molestada.La historia Europea del 5º y 6º siglo fue dominada por el movimiento de los pueblos principalmente Germánicos en el territorio del antiguo Imperio Romano. El desplazamiento que se dio por esto y el cambio de población tuvieron un gran impacto en el Cristianismo en Occidente. La civilización Medieval fue el resultado de esta agitación bárbara junto con los vestigios finales de la sociedad Romana y el impacto que Agustín tuvo en la teología y la práctica de la Iglesia.La incursión de tribus Germánicas en el Imperio Romano fue sólo la primera de 4 oleadas masivas de migración.Los Alemanes llegaron en el 5º siglo. Los Vars y Eslavos entraron en los Balcanes en el 6º siglo. Los Musulmanes en el 7º siglos. Y los Vikingos en el 8º al 10º siglo.Los cambios sociales resultantes creados por estas migraciones invasivas tuvieron un efecto monumental en la Iglesia. Vamos a echar un vistazo ahora a sólo el primero de estos cambios de población - las invasiones Germánicas.El 5º siglo vio el clímax de lo que era realmente un largo proceso de inmigración controlada en su mayoría por los Alemanes. Ellos se establecieron en tierras en las frontera del Imperio y sirvieron en el ejército. En verdad, mientras que los Romanos se referían a los Alemanes como bárbaros, a menudo preservaban el Imperio llenando huecos en la población en declive de las tierras Romanas y llenando las legiones. Fue la Tormenta Perfecta la que vio que las cosas en un sentido figurado se cayeran para Roma. Los factores que se combinaron para generar esta Tormenta Perfecta fueron à1) Los Alemanes fueron presionados por invasores saliendo de Asia central,2) Los tratados claves entre los Romanos y los Alemanes se rompieron,3) El clima cálido que había visto un auge demográfico en el norte de Europa fue seguido por un frío amargo por el cual los Alemanes se vieran obligados a moverse hacia el sur en busca de tierras para sostener su población numerosa. No ayudó a Roma que los Alemanes conocían ahora las tácticas militares Romanas y llevaban armas Romanas.Nota para uno mismo: Si no quieres que tu vecino se haga cargo de tu casa, no le des las llaves y el código de alarma.Ciertas fechas en la primera mitad del 5º siglo son importantes àEn el año 410, Alarico, líder de los Godos Occidentales, o Visigodos, saqueó la ciudad de Roma. Este fue un evento comprensiblemente traumático para el Imperio Occidental. Su sucesor, Ataulf, se casó con la hermana del Emperador Honorio.En el año 430, Agustín, intentó explicar la caída de Roma por los Visigodos en su obra clásica La Ciudad de Dios. Murió el año antes del Concilio de Éfeso y la caída de su ciudad, Hipona en Norte de África a los Vándalos.En el año 451, Atila y los Hunos de Asia central, arrasaron por Europa Occidental, y luego fueron derrotados por una alianza de Romanos y Alemanes liderada por Atius.En el año 455, Atius y el Emperador Valentiniano III fueron asesinados, y los Vándalos bajo Gaiseric otra vez volvieron a saquear Roma.El primer contacto que los Romanos tuvieron con los Godos llegó durante el reinado del Emperador Decio. Durante el reinado de Constantino se convirtieron en aliados y a menudo entraron en las legiones en rangos elevados. Los Visigodos estaban siendo presionados desde el Oriente por los Hunos, y en el año 376 buscaron refugio en el lado Romano del Danubio. El Emperador Valens concedió su petición, y allí comenzó una conversión masiva de los Godos al Arrianismo. Debido al maltrato por los gobernadores Romanos, se rebelaron en el año 378 y mataron al Emperador Valens en la famosa Batalla de Adrianople. Así comenzó las verdadera invasión Germánicas del Imperio. En el año 419 los Visigodos habían sometido al sur de Galia y a toda España.Como hemos señalado en episodios anteriores, cuando los Godos invadieron el Imperio Occidental en el 5º siglo, en su mayor parte, vinieron, no como paganos saqueando, sino como cristianos Arrianos. Un obispo Godo llamado Teófilo había asistido al Concilio de Nicea en el año 325.El misionero que llevó el Evangelio a los Godos fue Ulfilas a mediados o finales del 4º siglo. Ulfilas tuvo un éxito increíble de ver a los Alemanes ganados a la fe por 2 razones...1) Su religión natal estaba en declive. En pocas palabras, sus dioses parecían bastante viejos y en mal estado.2) Las muchas tribus Alemanas compartían una lengua común.Al darse cuenta de que traducir la Biblia al Alemán era una clave para el éxito del evangelismo, Ulfilas pasó un tiempo considerable en el proyecto antes de su muerte. Dejó los libros de Samuel y Reyes fuera de su traducción porque pensó que los Godos à Bueno, ya sabían lo suficiente sobre la guerra.En el año 406, cuando Roma trajo a las legiones del Rin para proteger a Italia, otra tribu Germánica llamada los Vándalos entro en Galia, y luego a España, y finalmente saltó el estrecho de Gibraltar para acosar el norte de África. Su rey Gaiseric los llevó a Cartago, la cual conquistó en el año 439 y la hizo la capital de su reino Vándalo Arriano. Gaiseric era intolerante a otras formas de la fe. En el año 455 envió barcos a través del Mediterráneo para saquear Roma.Al principio, los Donatistas en el norte de África se regocijaron por la llegada de los Vándalos. Recuerda que Roma los veía como herejes. Pero no paso mucho tiempo para que se dieran cuenta de que el enemigo de mi enemigo no siempre es mi amigo. Los Vándalos no eran amistosos. Así que en el año 484, un sínodo Donatista-Católico se reunió para tratar de arreglar sus diferencias teológicas.Los Católicos fueron perseguidos bajo algunos de los reyes Vándalos a finales del 5º  y a principios del 6º siglo. Fue esta persecución la que dio a los Vándalos un mal nombre mucho más que cualquier acto real de "vandalismo". En realidad, los vándalos no eran más bárbaros que los otros Alemanes.El famoso general de Justiniano, Belisario, repulso a los Vándalos y volvió a ocupar el Norte de África para el Imperio Bizantino en el año 534.Los Visigodos y Vándalos fueron seguidos por Suevianos, los Borgoñeses y los Francos.Los Francos eran los menos móviles de las tribus Germánicas. Se establecieron en el norte de Francia y ampliaron su gobierno desde allí. Se unieron a varias otras tribus Alemanas junto con los Romanos para evitar la amenaza común de los Hunos en el año 451.De todas las tribus Alemanas, los Francos eran los menos inclinados a escuchar el mensaje de las misiones Cristianas. Parecían inmunes a la conversión hasta la conversión de su rey Clodoveo a mediados del 5º siglo.La conversión de Clodoveo a la Fe fue un momento significativo en la historia de Europa. Dado que los Vándalos, los Godos y los Borgoñones eran Arrianos, parecía probable que el Arrianismo se apoderara del Occidente. De todos los reinos Germánicos, solo los Francos bajo Clodoveo abrazaron lo que llamamos el Cristianismo Católico o según el consejo de Nicea, la fe mayormente de sus súbditos Europeos.En el año 492, el Obispo Avitus de Viena organizó el matrimonio de una princesa Borgoña llamada Clotilde con Clodoveo. Clotilde era una cristiana comprometida de sabor a Nicea. La pareja real tuvo un hijo, que fue bautizado, pero murió mientras aún estaba en sus túnicas bautismales. Clodoveo, que en ese momento todavía era un pagano, declaró en voz alta que sus dioses no permitirían que tal cosa sucediera. Más tarde tuvieron otro hijo. Este prosperó.Entonces, en la batalla con los Alemanni y cuando las cosas no iban a su favor, el desesperado Clodoveo pidió ayuda del Dios Cristiano. La batalla se volvió a su favor. Cuando los Alemanni fueron derrotados, Clodoveo se sometió al bautismo. El Obispo Remigius de Rheims realizó el rito el día de Navidad en el año 496.La fuente de toda esta historia es una obra de Gregorio de Tours titulada Historia de los Francos. Este libro dio a los Francos su identidad y moldeó su comprensión del futuro que tendrían en forjar la historia Europea.Después de su bautismo, Clodoveo fue ungido en su rol de monarca. Esta unción del rey por un obispo se convirtió en una costumbre entre los Francos. El aura resultante de la sagrada realeza Cristiana parecía justificar el control Franco de la Iglesia. Lamentablemente, el carácter de Clodoveo siguió siendo poco cambiado por su aceptación oficial del Cristianismo. Parece que adoptó la religión como una cuestión de conveniencia política, pero no recibió al Evangelio.En el año 493, Odoacer, el general Alemán que había forzado la abdicación del último Emperador Romano Occidental un poco menos de 20 años antes, fue asesinado por el Rey Ostrogodo del este Teodoro. Junto con Clodoveo, Teodoro era el gobernante más importante de los reinos bárbaros. Teodoro hizo de Rávena en Italia su capital. Fue un Arriano que adoptó la cultura Bizantina. Aunque el era personalmente tolerante, sus súbditos católicos de Nicea, no lo eran. Su gobierno vio el último florecimiento de la cultura Romana en Occidente. El reino Ostrogodo continuó hasta el año 553, cuando el general Oriental Belisario retomó gran parte de Italia para el Imperio Bizantino.El renacimiento cultural que ocurrió durante la primera mitad del 6º siglo ha sido llamado el "Verano Indio de la Antigüedad Cristiana". En este período se establecieron varias personas influyentes que sentaron las bases de la sociedad Medieval Temprana.Beocio era de una familia destacada Romana que se convirtió en filósofo y estadista en la corte de Teodoro. Aunque leal, Beocio quedó bajo sospecha y Teodoro lo encarceló y ejecutó. Mientras que estaba en prisión, Beocio escribió su obra más famosa, La Consolación de la Filosofía. Esta obra es importante porque marca la transición de los Padres de la Iglesia o lo que se llama Patricitas a los Escolásticos, de quienes hablaremos más adelante. A través de sus traducciones, Beocio entregó a la Edad Media, la ética y la lógica de Aristóteles. Los Escolásticos consideraban a Beocio como la mayor autoridad en filosofía después de Aristóteles.Dionisio Exiguos fue un Asiático Centro que llegó a Roma hacia finales del 5º siglo. Recolecto y tradujo el canon de la Iglesia Oriental al Latín. También colecciono el canon y los decretos papales de la iglesia Occidental. Su obra tuvo una enorme autoridad eclesiástica.Pero Dionisio tuvo un significado mucho más impactante en el contexto de que el introdujo un sistema de datación basado en la era Cristiana, comenzando con la encarnación de Cristo. Es el que creó todos los marcadores de a.C. y d.C. para dividir el tiempo. Hasta ese momento, el método secular de trazar la fecha estaba determinado por el gobierno de los cónsules de Roma y el Imperio de Diocleciano. Desafortunadamente, Dionisio calculó mal la fecha del nacimiento de Jesús, de modo que según el cálculo contemporáneo Jesús nació al menos en el 4º año A.C.Este es también el tiempo de Gregorio Magno, a quien dedicaremos un episodio entero muy pronto.El último en la crónica que incluiremos en la lista de las primeras invasiones bárbaras son los Lombardos. En el año 568 esta tribu Germánica rompió los límites establecidos por el Imperio de Justiniano y entraron a Italia. Gregorio Magno les dio la vuelta en el año 593 y aseguró la paz dividiendo Italia entre tierras Lombardas e Imperiales. Los Lombardos eran un lote polémico y gobernaban desde 3 centros: el reino de Pavía, en el Norte, amenazaba a la capital Imperial de Rávena; los ducados de Spoleto y Benevento en el centro de Italia eran un peligro para Roma y Nápoles. Los Lombardos eran Arrianos. Su aceptación del cristianismo Católico no llegó hasta el 7º siglo.Mientras terminamos este episodio, echemos un vistazo al efecto de las Invasiones Bárbaras.Agustín no fue el único que intentó una respuesta literaria a las invasiones Germánicas. Mientras que el saqueo de Roma en el año 410 parecía para muchos el fin de los tiempos, Orosio, escribió 7 volúmenes en contra de los paganos para mostrar que el mundo precristiano no sufrió nada menos que el presente. La obra se convirtió en una especie de manual para entender la historia en la Edad Media. Orosio dio un lugar central al Imperio Romano en el plan de Dios. Su historia colocó en la mente occidental la idea del rol divino de la civilización Romana. Jerónimo ya había interpretado el 4º  reino del libro de Daniel como Roma y llegó a la conclusión de que debía continuar mientras la Iglesia lo hiciera. Orosio promovió esta opinión de que tanto los Hebreos como los Romanos jugaron un rol importante en la salvación del mundo.La obra de Salvian titulada Sobre el Gobierno Divino en el año 440 promovió el significado histórico de los Alemanes. Exageró sus buenas características en contra la corrupción Romana. Dijo que Dios usó a los Alemanes como espada de juicio sobre la Roma malvada.Tres actitudes prevalecieron en Europa con respecto a las invasiones bárbaras àAgustín sostuvo que ultimadamente, el éxito político o su fracaso no tenia ninguna diferencia. Su enfoque estaba en el mundo venidero. En contraste, Orosio dijo que el Cristianismo era la garantia de la prosperidad del Imperio. Salvian afirmó que el Imperio fue castigado por sus pecados.Pero algo interesante sucedió una vez que los invasores Alemanes se establecieron en las antiguas tierras Romanas. En general, dejaron a un lado su fe con sabor Arriano por el Cristianismo Niceo-Católico y adoptaron la cultura Romana, o al menos, lo que quedaba de ella. A lo largo de un par de generaciones llegaron a identificarse como Romanos en lugar de como Godos, Francos, Borgoñones y Lombardos.Pero incluso con estas adaptaciones a la cultura Romana, los antiguos pueblos Romanos y Germánicos se dividieron por su idioma. Los Romanos hablaban Latín, los Alemanes Goth. Costumbres de comida y el vestido que se llevaban en muchos lugares con los Latinos usando togas mientras que los Alemanes llevaban pantalones. Sus sistemas legales diferían y las leyes se aplicaban a las diferentes clases del mismo reino. Los 2 pueblos tardaron siglos en mezclarse y convertirse en las naciones de la Europa moderna. La civilización Grecorromana se basaba en ciudades. Las invasiones Germánicas trajeron un declive a las ciudades. Una economía rural se desarrollo en el Occidente, acelerando el paso a lo que hemos llegado a asociar como la Edad Media: el Feudalismo. Mientras que, en el este, las ciudades seguían siendo el principal elemento de la organización social, en el Occidente, las fincas y territorios subieron a la preminencia. Los gobernantes confiaban en sus propias tierras, por lo que había una descentralización del gobierno.Con el declive del gobierno centralizado en el Occidente, la Iglesia se hizo a cargo de muchos de los servicios que alguna vez proporcionaba el Estado, como la educación. Las iglesias y monasterios estaban vinculados a la economía agrícola del Occidente y se beneficiaban de una estrecha relación con los gobernantes locales. Pero una cosa que vio crecer sustancialmente la importancia y la influencia de la Iglesia fue la fractura que ocurrió en el ámbito político. Cuando Europa Occidental se dividió en cientos de regiones más pequeñas, cada una con su propio gobernante, la autoridad universal de la Iglesia bajo Roma y los obispos regionales proporcionaron una continuidad que se necesitaba desesperadamente. Ninguna autoridad secular en el Occidente fue capaz de controlar a la Iglesia como un órgano de Estado en la misma medida que los Emperadores Orientales. Así que, en el Occidente, en lugar de que los reyes gobernaran en los asuntos de la Iglesia, fue la Iglesia la que jugó cada vez más un rol importante en los asuntos políticos.Una vez más quiero dar las gracias a todos aquellos que han ido a la página de CS en FB y nos han dado un me gusta.

Significance of Repeating The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abha “`Abdu'l-Bahá teaches how the practice of invocation or repetition of “The Greatest Name” (Alláh-u-Abhá, God is Most Glorious) leads to union with God, illumination and spiritual rebirth. The use of invocation is well developed among the mystics of Islam, the Sufis. The repetition of sacred phrases is called dhikr (promounced zikr, meaning remembrance). This spiritual practice of invocation is praised by `Abdu'l-Bahá. He encourages spiritual seekers to “recite the Greatest Name at every morn, and (to) turn…unto the kingdom of Abhá, until though mayest apprehend the mysteries. Through the invocation fo the Greatest Name, `Abdu'l-Bahá maintains that “the doors of the kingdom of God open, illumination is vouchsafed and divine union results…The use of the Greatest Name, and dependence upon it, causes the soul to strip itself of the husks of morality and to step forth freed, reborn, a new creature.” `Abdu'l-Bahá encourages the use of the sacred phrase Alláh-u-Abhá as a focus for invocation: “The Greatest Name should be found upon the lips in the first awakening moment of early dawn. It should be fed upon by constant use in daily invocation, in trouble, under opposition, and should be the last word breathed when the head rests upon the pillow at night. It is the name of comfort, protection, happiness, illumination, love and unity. “ Pages 57-58 from the Book, Wisdom of the Masters: The Spiritual Teachings of `Abdu'l-Bahá, References 54-56 (The reference in the back of the book is below if you would like further details) “The Greatest Name, Symbol of the Cause”, Baha’i News (Oct 1964), p. 2. Also see Steven Scholl, “The Remembrance of God: An invocation Technique in Sufiism and the Writings of the Bas and Baha’u’llah, “ Baha’i Studies Bulletin (1985). Why say The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abhá 95 Times? In the book ‘Gate of the Heart’ by Nader Saiedi, he explains that the significance of the number 95 originates from the Persian Bayán, where the Báb states that ninety-five stands for the numerical value of "for God" (lillāh), symbolizing the recognition of the manifestation of God and obedience to his laws, which are inseparable from each other, as confirmed by Bahá'u'lláh in the opening paragraph of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas. The 95 Alláh-u-Abhá Meditation audio is a meditation that includes a chanted repetition of the sacred word Alláh-u-Abhá, which means ‘God the All-Glorious’.  According to Note 33 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,  “It hath been ordained that every believer in God … shall, each day … repeat “Alláh-u-Abhá” ninety-five times. “Alláh-u-Abhá” is an Arabic phrase meaning “God the All-Glorious.” It is a form of the Greatest Name of God (see note 137). In Islám there is a tradition that among the many names of God, one was the greatest; however, the identity of this Greatest Name was hidden. Bahá’u’lláh has confirmed that the Greatest Name is “Bahá.”  The various derivatives of the word “Bahá” are also regarded as the Greatest Name. Shoghi Effendi’s secretary writing on his behalf explains that  “The Greatest Name is the Name of Bahá’u’lláh. “Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá” is an invocation meaning: “O Thou Glory of Glories!” “Alláh-u-Abhá” is a greeting which means: “God the All-Glorious.” Both refer to Bahá’u’lláh. By Greatest Name is meant that Bahá’u’lláh has appeared in God’s Greatest Name, in other words, that He is the supreme Manifestation of God. “ The greeting “Alláh-u-Abhá” was adopted during the period of Bahá’u’lláh’s exile in Adrianople.  The repetition of “Alláh-u-Abhá” ninety-five times is to be preceded by the performance of ablutions (see note 34).” Alláh-u-Abhá also appears in the Prayer for the Dead as indicated in Note 11 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,  “The passages that form part of the Prayer for the Dead comprise the repetition of the greeting “Alláh-u-Abhá” (God is the All-Glorious) six times, each followed by nineteen repetitions of one of six specifically revealed verses.”

Moment of Battle: The Twenty Clashes That Changed the World. The John Batchelor Show. John Batchelor talks to James Lacey, co-author along with Williamson Murray of the new book, Moment of Battle: The Twenty Clashes That Changed the World.About the book-Two modern masters of military history make their case for the twenty most pivotal battles of all time, in a riveting trip through the ages to those moments when the fate of the world hung in the balance. In the grand tradition of Edward Creasy’s classic Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World, James Lacey and Williamson Murray spotlight only those engagements that changed the course of civilization. In gripping narrative accounts they bring these conflicts and eras to vivid life, detailing the cultural imperatives that led inexorably to the battlefield, the experiences of the common soldiers who fought and died, and the legendary commanders and statesmen who matched wits, will, and nerve for the highest possible stakes. From the great clashes of antiquity to the high-tech wars of the twenty-first century, here are the stories of the twenty most consequential battles ever fought, including • Marathon, where Greece’s “greatest generation” repelled Persian forces three times their numbers—and saved Western civilization in its infancy• Adrianople, the death blow to a disintegrating Roman Empire• Trafalgar, the epic naval victory that cemented a century of British supremacy over the globe• Saratoga, the first truly American victory, won by united colonial militias, which ensured the ultimate triumph of the Revolution• Midway, the ferocious World War II sea battle that broke the back of the Japanese navy• Dien Bien Phu, the climactic confrontation between French imperial troops and Viet Minh rebels that led to American intervention in Vietnam and marked the rise of a new era of insurgent warfare• Operation Peach, the perilous 2003 mission to secure a vital bridge over the Euphrates River that would open the way to Baghdad Historians and armchair generals will argue forever about which battles have had the most direct impact on history. But there can be no doubt that these twenty are among those that set mankind on new trajectories. Each of these epochal campaigns is examined in its full historical, strategic, and tactical context—complete with edge-of-your-seat you-are-there battle re-creations. With an eye for the small detail as well as the bigger picture, Lacey and Murray identify the elements that bind these battles together: the key decisions, critical mistakes, and moments of crisis on which the fates of entire civilizations depended. Some battles merely leave a field littered with the bodies of the fallen. Others transform the map of the entire world. Moment of Battle is history written with the immediacy of today’s news, a magisterial tour d’horizon that refreshes our understanding of those essential turning points where the future was decided.A MAIN SELECTION OF THE HISTORY BOOK CLUB AND THE MILITARY BOOK CLUB “Two world-class historians present, eloquently and persuasively, twenty battles that fundamentally changed the course of history. Moment of Battle is a must acquisition for anyone seeking to understand the nature of human development—and its turning points.”—Dennis E.

By Greatest Name is meant that Bahá’u’lláh has appeared in God’s Greatest Name, in other words, that He is the supreme Manifestation of God. “ The greeting “Alláh-u-Abhá” was adopted during the period of Bahá’u’lláh’s exile in Adrianople.  The repetition of “Alláh-u-Abhá” ninety-five times is to be preceded by the performance of ablutions (see note 34).” Alláh-u-Abhá also appears in the Prayer for the Dead as indicated in Note 11 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,  “The passages that form part of the Prayer for the Dead comprise the repetition of the greeting “Alláh-u-Abhá” (God is the All-Glorious) six times, each followed by nineteen repetitions of one of six specifically revealed verses.”

“The five-pointed star, or haykal (Arabic: temple‎) is the symbol of the Baháʼí Faith as mentioned by Shoghi Effendi, head of the Baháʼí Faith in the first half of the 20th century: "Strictly speaking the 5-pointed star is the symbol of our Faith, as used by the Báb and explained by Him."[1] The five-pointed star has been used as the outline of special letters or tablets by both the Báb[2] and Baháʼu'lláh.[3] Haykal is a loan word from the Hebrew word hēyḵāl, which means temple and specifically Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. In Arabic, the word also means the body or form of something, particularly the human body.[4] In the Baháʼí tradition, the haykal was established by the Báb — who told of Baháʼu'lláh's coming — who represented the haykal as a five-pointed star representing the human body as a head, two hands, and two feet.[4][5] The Báb wrote many letters, tablets, prayers and more in the shape of a five-pointed star, including some that included many derivatives of the word Baháʼ (see below).[6][7] In Baháʼu'lláh's writings, specifically the Súriy-i-Haykal (Tablet of the Temple), while the meaning of temple remains present, the haykal is used mainly to mean the human body, but particularly the body of the Manifestation of God — a messenger from God — and the person of Baháʼu'lláh himself.[4] In the Tablet, the haykal is also used to refer to the word of God, which is revealed by the Manifestations of God.[8] He also says in the same Tablet: "O Living Temple! We have, in very truth,...ordained Thee to be the emblem of My Cause betwixt the heavens and the earth..."[9] “ The above excerpt was taken from Wikipedia Súriy-i-Haykal: The Tablet of The Temple “The Súriy-i-Haykal (Persian: سورةى هيكل‎) or Tablet of the Temple, is a composite work which consists of a tablet followed by five messages addressed to Pope Pius IX, Napoleon III, Tsar Alexander II of Russia, Queen Victoria, and Naser al-Din Shah Qajar. The messages were written while Baháʼu'lláh was in Adrianople, and shortly after its completion, Baháʼu'lláh instructed the Surih and the tablets to the kings be written in the form of a Haykal (temple), a five-pointed star, and added to it the conclusion: Thus have We built the Temple with the hands of power and might, could ye but know it. This is the Temple promised unto you in the Book. Draw ye nigh unto it. This is that which profiteth you, could ye but comprehend it. Be fair, O peoples of the earth! Which is preferable, this, or a temple which is built of clay? Set your faces towards it. Thus have ye been commanded by God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.[1] Shoghi Effendi, who described the tablet as one of Baháʼu'lláh's most challenging works, writes about the Súriy-i Haykal, "words which reveal the importance He attached to those Messages, and indicate their direct association with the prophecies of the Old Testament", referring to the prophecy where Zechariah had promised the rebuilding of the Temple in the End of Times. In the Book of Zechariah it is recorded: And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. — Zechariah 6:12-13[2] Shoghi Effendi, in The Promised Day is Come (pp. 47–8), refers to this rebuilding of the temple as fulfilled in the return of the Manifestation of God in a human temple. Throughout the tablet, Baháʼu'lláh address the Haykal ("the Temple") and explains the glory which is invested in it. Baháʼu'lláh, in response to a question, has stated that the Haykal is the person of Baháʼu'lláh. Adib Taherzadeh has written that "[i]t is fascinating to know that the One Who speaks with the voice of God in this Tablet is identical with the One spoken to." Regarding the Haykal, Baháʼu'lláh writes that it refers to the human or physical temple of the Manifestation of God (prophets of God). He states that the Manifestation of God is a pure mirror that reflects the sovereignty of God and manifests God's beauty and grandeur to mankind. In essence Baháʼu'lláh explains that the Manifestation of God is a "Living Temple" and every time that Baháʼu'lláh addresses the Haykal he shows a new facet of God's revelation. The Haykal, which represents the Manifestation of God who spreads the Word of God in the form of a human temple, has members each of whom symbolize one of the signs and attributes of God. To the eyes of the Haykal he asks it to not look at the world of creation, but instead to focus on the beauty of God. To the Haykal's ears Baháʼu'lláh asks it to become deaf to the voices of the ungodly and to listen to the Word of God. To the tongue of the Haykal Baháʼu'lláh states that it has been created to mention the name of God. To the hands of the Haykal Baháʼu'lláh asks them to stretch out upon all humankind and hold within their grasp the reins of God. Finally, Baháʼu'lláh states that from the heart of the Haykal knowledge will emerge and raise scientists who will bring about technological achievements. Another symbol used by Baháʼu'lláh in describing the Haykal is through the four letters (H, Y, K, and L) that compose the word in Arabic. Baháʼu'lláh in the tablet explains the spiritual significance of each letter: H is for Huwiyyah (Essence of Divinity), Y is for Qadír (Almighty), K is for Karím (All Bountiful), and L is for Fadl (Grace). Regarding the five other messages to the rulers that form the pentacle of the Súriy-i-Haykal, Baháʼu'lláh tells them he is the Manifestation of God for this day, and that they should accept his message. The message to Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, which is the longest message, was delivered to the Shah by Badíʻ, a youth who was killed by the Shah shortly thereafter.” The above excerpt was taken from Wikipedia Click on the link to read the Full Tablet: Súriy-i-Haykal: The Tablet of The Temple What is Yoga Nidra? Yoga Nidra is a form of a meditative yogic sleep technique. According to the 8 Limbs of Ashtanga Yoga, it is considered under the umbrella of Step 5, Pratyahara, the type of meditation that focuses on withdrawal of the physical senses. It is said that 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra meditation is considered to make up for 2 —3 hours of sleep, bringing one into a very relaxed state, in between consciousness and unconsciousness, awake and asleep. The Five Star Symbol Yoga Nidra meditation repeats the stamping or branding of the five star symbol on each part of the body, as a form of symbolic union with the Haykal, which refers to the human or physical temples of the Manifestations of God. By branding the symbol of the five star symbol along the body, it is hoped that the pure mirrors which reflect the sovereignty of God, manifestations of God’s Beauty and grandeur will be illuminated within each cell in your body.

Significance of Repeating The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abha “`Abdu'l-Bahá teaches how the practice of invocation or repetition of “The Greatest Name” (Alláh-u-Abhá, God is Most Glorious) leads to union with God, illumination and spiritual rebirth. The use of invocation is well developed among the mystics of Islam, the Sufis. The repetition of sacred phrases is called dhikr (promounced zikr, meaning remembrance). This spiritual practice of invocation is praised by `Abdu'l-Bahá. He encourages spiritual seekers to “recite the Greatest Name at every morn, and (to) turn…unto the kingdom of Abhá, until though mayest apprehend the mysteries. Through the invocation fo the Greatest Name, `Abdu'l-Bahá maintains that “the doors of the kingdom of God open, illumination is vouchsafed and divine union results…The use of the Greatest Name, and dependence upon it, causes the soul to strip itself of the husks of morality and to step forth freed, reborn, a new creature.” `Abdu'l-Bahá encourages the use of the sacred phrase Alláh-u-Abhá as a focus for invocation: “The Greatest Name should be found upon the lips in the first awakening moment of early dawn. It should be fed upon by constant use in daily invocation, in trouble, under opposition, and should be the last word breathed when the head rests upon the pillow at night. It is the name of comfort, protection, happiness, illumination, love and unity. “ Pages 57-58 from the Book, Wisdom of the Masters: The Spiritual Teachings of `Abdu'l-Bahá, References 54-56 (The reference in the back of the book is below if you would like further details) “The Greatest Name, Symbol of the Cause”, Baha’i News (Oct 1964), p. 2.

Why say The Greatest Name Alláh-u-Abhá 95 Times? In the book ‘Gate of the Heart’ by Nader Saiedi, he explains that the significance of the number 95 originates from the Persian Bayán, where the Báb states that ninety-five stands for the numerical value of "for God" (lillāh), symbolizing the recognition of the manifestation of God and obedience to his laws, which are inseparable from each other, as confirmed by Bahá'u'lláh in the opening paragraph of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas. The 95 Alláh-u-Abhá Meditation audio is a meditation that includes a chanted repetition of the sacred word Alláh-u-Abhá, which means ‘God the All-Glorious’.  According to Note 33 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,  “It hath been ordained that every believer in God … shall, each day … repeat “Alláh-u-Abhá” ninety-five times. “Alláh-u-Abhá” is an Arabic phrase meaning “God the All-Glorious.” It is a form of the Greatest Name of God (see note 137).
