In an effort to support the growth of the cluster of Surgana, from February 5 -7 Mr. Rohit Tank, Mrs. Visit to Surgana Cluster th th Reyhana Lokhandwala, and Dr. Afsaneh Motiwala made a trip to this cluster in order to assist the pioneers of the area with the consolidation of newly declared souls. Out of the 24 who recently declared their Faith, 20 are currently taking part in the Institute Process: 10 youth in Ruhi Book 4, and 10 adults in Ruhi Book 1.
On the first day of their trip, they organized a session for Ruhi Book 1 followed by a home visit attended by four seekers; the next day, the Ruhi session had some new faces. The remainder of the weekend was spent participating in the Nineteen Day Feast and home visits.
One such home visit was with a large family who had been living near the Centre for 50 years. Several members of the family were already taking part in study circles. During the home visit, the entire family heard the message with such love that they said they were ready to help spread this knowledge in whichever way they could. They pledged to arrange for a larger group to hear the message during the visitors' next trip to the area. During this trip, the visitors also had an opportunity to listen to a story told by the pioneers regarding the significant dream of a 13-year-old junior youth in the area.
This young man had recounted that he dreamt of an elderly man on top of a brilliantly shining hill. The moon above His head was shining and He was smiling at this junior youth. As he watched, he saw that all around this man, the grass became very green, trees appeared, and a very clean river began flowing. The junior youth had recalled feeling a lot of love and joy during this dream. When he woke up, he went to see one of the pioneers and asked to see a photo of 'Abdu'l-Bahá. Having only ever heard stories about Him, he wanted to see what He looked like. Upon seeing the portrait, he confirmed that the person in his dream was indeed 'Abdu'l-Bahá.
