‘Founder descended from King David’
Neal Chase Ben Joseph Aghsan
Oct. 14: Throwing the gauntlet at all other sects of the Baha'i faith in the country, the Baha'is Under the Provisions of the Covenant (BUPC) has formed the National Baha'i Council in India, with its centre at Mumbai. The BUPC believes that Baha'u'llah, the founder of the Baha'i faith, was a descendant of King David. It also believes that the throne line did not end with the death of the first guardian Shoghi Effen-di but is kept alive by the great-great-grandson of Baha'u'llah, Neal Chase Ben Joseph Aghsan.
According to BUPC members, the throne line of King David, which functions as the hereditary sign to recognize the true Universal House of Justice (UHJ) of Baha'u'llah, has been mistakenly construed to have ended in 1957. Citing Psalm 89, wherein God promises King David that his descendants would rule on his throne forever, the BUPC believes that this prophecy that was fulfilled by the coming of Baha'u'llah is still kept alive by Neal Chase and he is the rightful president of the UHJ.
The BUPC maintains that peace will be established when all of mankind recognises this true spiritual government. Blaming Ruhiyyih Khanum, wife of Effendi and the Hands for trying to reduce the importance of the UHJ, the BUPC maintains that the act was aimed at turning the faith into an oppressive organised religion, in stark contrast to the principles of the faith.
