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 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 Mahikeng, South Africa with Dominique Sylvester singing “Radiant Heart” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Mahikeng, South Africa, November, 2021.
LYRICS/QUOTE:
“O SON OF SPIRIT! My first counsel is this: Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart, that thine may be a sovereignty ancient, imperishable and everlasting.”
Naysan is passionate about using the arts and media to explore the teachings of the Baha’i Faith. Back in 2011, Naysan started up the Baha’i Blog project, channeling his experiences in both media and technology companies to help create a hub for Baha’i-inspired content online.
I have fallen love with some of these “Bahai Blog Studio Sessions” songs, and I deeply them. Only one of those songs, “Magnified Be Thy Name”, by Benjamin Spriggs could I find for purchase … on Amazon Music. Others, like “Radiant Heart” by Dominique Sylvester, appear available only through subscription.
My reason for purchase: To listen to these beautiful and fragrant songs as I hike in the nearby mountains, unimpeded – no Ads, no internet.
