In 1844, Siyyid Ali-Muhammad (known by His title, the Bab, which means "the Gate") announced that He was the bearer of a Divine Revelation whose aim was to prepare the world for a Messenger of God--Baha'u'llah. The anniversary of that declaration is celebrated by Baha'is and their friends all over the world.
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 Auckland, New Zealand with Bhojraj Parmar who sings “मैं तुझसे मांगता हूँ (I Ask Thee)” in Hindi from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Auckland, New Zealand, September 2017.
Lyrics & Quote
HINDI
हे परमेश्वर, तेरे परममहिमाशाली नाम पर, मैं तुझसे मांगता हूँ की तू उस कार्य में मेरी सहायता कर। जो तेरे सेवकों के कार्य कलापों को रिद्धि सिद्धि दे और तेरे नगरों को समृद्धि दे। तेरी शक्ति का आधिपत्य सभी पदार्थों पर है।
ENGLISH
O my God! I ask Thee, by Thy most glorious Name, to aid me in that which will cause the affairs of Thy servants to prosper, and Thy cities to flourish. Thou, indeed, hast power over all things!
Baha’u’llah
