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, a nice group of youth who call themselves ‘JYSEP Goodna’ sing “At All Times”, from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha.
This song was filmed and recorded in Brisbane, Australia, February 2016.
Lyrics & Quote
At all times do I speak of you and call you to mind. I pray unto the Lord, and with tears I implore Him to rain down all these blessings upon you, and gladden your hearts, and make blissful your souls, and grant you exceeding joy and heavenly delights…
Abdu’l-Baha

A beautiful quote made even more inspiring by the melodies of the song and the heartfelt rendition of the young singers who are obviously devoted. I was so inspired and memorised the quote. Thank you.

I so much love this song. Gives me goosebumps anytime I listen to it especially with how the creative Words of Abdu-l’Baha were used.
