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.
This interview featuring singer-songwriter Sheyda Peyman is part of the documentary series called Baha’i Journeys. In this interview, Sheyda shares some of her personal views about the Baha’i teachings and the power of music, beauty, mathematics and the nature of reality.
This documentary series, spearheaded by a team of Baha’is, was created in honor of the 200th anniversary of the Birth of Baha’u’llah. You can find out more about the project on their website: http://bahaijourneys.org/ You can watch all their videos on their YouTube channel.
