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.
The Gold Coast Baha’i Community in Australia hosts information evenings that seek to explore a Baha’i perspective on topics that relate to the life of society. In this talk given on September 27, 2018, Dr Reza Samvat explores the meaning of dreams and what they tell us about our souls. Dream interpretation, he offers, can be a powerful tool for self-reflection, sanctifying the heart, acquiring virtues, and minimizing prejudice.
Dr Reza Samvat is highly sought after researcher and presenter. He is a chiropractor with 16 years of experience in various areas of chiropractic and holistic health. Dr Samvat has completed post graduate training in acupuncture, applied kinesiology, the treatment of learning disability and hyperactivity and chiropractic neurology. He is interested in neurology and its connection to personal transformation and acquiring virtues.
