I see nothing at all pejorative in the name "Azali". It simply means
the followers of Azal, which obviously wasn't the given name of Mirza
Yahya but a rather exalted title. As I'm sure you know Subh-i-Azal
means "morning of eternity." How do you see being a follower of
eternity as being a pejorative?
Calling yourselves Bayanis, however, implies you are more followers of
the Bab than of Azal. Is this correct?
Incidentally, how many "Bayanis" are there? Do you have any holy
buildings or Holy Scriptures besides the Writings of the Bab?
Kind regards,
Suzanne
