Ridvan celebrates Baha’u’llah’s time in 1863 in the garden of Ridvan in Baghdad when He publicly declared His station as a Manifestation of God. The Ridvan Festival is 12 days long and is also the time of year when Baha’is elect their governing bodies.
Baha’i Blog’s “Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Vancouver, Canada with Roya, Shadi, Hoda, Sahar, Leif, Stefan, Marie, Nava, Sarah, Michele, Yasmin, Naseem and Geoffrey who sing “Blessed Is the Spot” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Vancouver, Canada, January 2017.
Lyrics & Quote
Blessed is the spot, and the house, and the place, and the city, and the heart, and the mountain, and the refuge, and the cave, and the valley, and the land, and the sea, and the island, and the meadow where mention of God hath been made, and His praise glorified.
Baha’u’llah

Ganz wunderschön. Macht mich sehr glücklich. Ich habe auf der Orgeln für den Baha’u’llhah ein wunderschönes Musikstück gespielt zum Dank für Seine Manifestation. Ich gönne es Shoghi Effendi. Das war sein Wunsch und sein Gebet für den Glauben. Gratuliere! Ach wie sehr ich Baha’u’llhah liebe für Seine Manifestation und das heilige UHG. Einfach ein Paradies. Das Lied höre ich mir auf dem grossen i Passt an. 1000x thank, dass Ihr Baha’u’llhah liebt. Macht weiter so. Greeting
