Baha’i Ruhi Study Circle Citings on Baha’i Views

Written by ry on March 9th, 2006

Ruhi book montage So I can’t even keep up with mr george wesley over at Baha’i Views, so I thought I should just also let you know that he’s great at keeping up with the murmurings of the blogosphere, posting all manner of blogs that mention the Faith. A great example of his many updates of blogging Baha’is is the post that just went up about Ruhi study circles from Canada, Hawaii and Israel. So if you want Baha’i blogs, he’s got Baha’i blogs (though I can’t help but notice a glaring omission).

Now, for those of you not in the know about these sorts of things, study circles are gatherings where people get together to study materials related to the Baha’i Faith (most often these materials will be books from the Ruhi Institute). And if you’re already down with the Ruhi, you can find some great resources here to help your current or future study circle be all it can be.

I am so appreciate of both George and yourself providing a great service for all of us interested in what Baha’is are blogging on.

We all have such diversity of what we enjoy reading that its good to have a few people doing it.

Personally I absolutely love looking at people’s photographs of what they are up to in their part of the world, and being in touch with the world.

Words, sounds and images that we can link, however tenuously, to Bahai's or to the Baha'i Faith.

Dawnbreaker Collective
For those of us who came into the Baha'i Faith through the ever popular Kubaya flavored route, the Dawnbreaker collective comes flying out of left field and knocks us on our asses. And while more and more artists are pushing "Baha'i Music" to new areas, the Dawnbreaker Collective were still the first to toss out the Baha'i folk songbook. Grab their music direct from them, from Amazon, or on itunes.

Ferraby Lionheart

While he's been profiled here already, Ferraby Lionheart certainly deserves all the praise that this meager blog can heap upon him as he's released an absolute gem of an album with his 'Catch the Brass Ring'.

Common Market

Seattle hip-hop duo Common Market have been covered in this blog already but they definitely deserve a place in the sidebar. From a review in Seattle's The Stranger:
You could say the duo connected through a higher power. "We're both Baha'i; that's how I heard of Sabzi in the first place," explains Scion. "So being involved with the Baha'i community and doing music, people kept asking me, 'Do you know Saba?'" "Yeah, people would just be like, there's another Baha'i in town that 'does hiphop,'" Sabzi laughs. Once connected, Sabzi spun records at the release party for RA's debut EP Apostrophe‚Äîand the pair found that musically, they were on the same page.

You can find their music well, pretty much everywhere. Instant gratification types (such as myself) can get theirs from the itunes music store.

Mana

An invigorating blend of various Polynesian dances, rhythms and sounds fused with pop, MANA is a Baha'i music and cultural performance group based in Sydney, Australia. The members of MANA are predominately youth, most of them still attending high school, and though they are all residents of Sydney, their roots are traced back to Samoa, Tonga and the Cook Islands.

To date, MANA has released 2 albums: Reflections on the Life of the Spirit and Arising To Serve. All lyrics have been taken from the Baha'i Writings found in the sequence of courses known as Ruhi Books, developed by the Ruhi Institute. There is currently a total of seven books in the sequence.

The Baha'is Magazine

A new version of a glossy 80-page magazine profiling the Baha'i Faith and its worldwide community has just been published. It features sections on Baha'u'llah, the spiritual and moral teachings of the Baha'i Faith, the Faith's history and administration, and its programs of social and economic development. It also has profiles of individual Baha'is and examples of community activities.

It can be ordered through the Baha'i Distribution Service in the United States.
