It tells us of a ruler so powerful and arrogant that he would destroy anyone who did not obey his every command. He was even prepared to kill his own son. It is a story of betrayal. The boy\u2019s aunt lured him into a blazing fire and sat him in her lap believing that she had special protection and would not be harmed. But, it is also a story of faith and the triumph of good over evil as the boy\u2019s faith protected him and he walked out the fire unscathed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Today, we face many of the same evils; arrogance, haughtiness, treachery, betrayal. But let us not despair and lose hope. Let us stand strong and united to defeat evil wherever it exists. Let faith abound that better must come!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">A joyous Phagwah to all!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgetown, Guyana.
