Fiji's First Lady visits Baha'i House of Worship in India
NEW DELHI, India, 22 November 2005 (BWNS) -- The First Lady of Fiji,
Leba Qarase, visited the Baha'i House of Worship in New Delhi, India on
10 October 2005.

A prayer service held specially for the occasion included chants in both
Hindi and English of prayers from the Baha'i, Christian, and Hindu
scriptures.

Mrs. Qarase then visited the Information Centre where she viewed panels
on Baha'i history and those displaying socio-economic development
projects.

She met Nalina Jiwnani, Director for the Baha'i Office for the
Advancement of Women in India.

In the visitors' book, Mrs. Qarase wrote: "I already feel at peace.
Glory be to God! It is a great experience going through the temple. May
God Almighty bless the Baha'i Faith!"
