Highlighting Australia
- As a proudly Australian initiative, we’re excited to showcase a collection of Australian stories, music, tributes and more.
Join activities, celebrations, study groups, spiritual empowerment and education programs for young people, and more.
Baha’i beliefs address essential spiritual themes for humanity’s collective and individual advancement. Learn more about these and more.
Baha’is see the young as the most precious treasure a community can possess. In them are the promise and guarantee of the future. Yet, in order for this promise to be realised, children need to receive spiritual nourishment, such as can be found in the children’s classes happening all around the world.
In this talk, Dr. Hossain Danesh shares his reflections on the biological, psychological, social and spiritual needs of children and youth.
Dr. Hossain Danesh was the Founder and President of the International Education for Peace Institute, and was a professor of Psychiatry (University of Ottawa) and Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution (Landegg International University), and the author of many articles and 11 books in his fields of specialization. For more information, please visit Dr. Danesh’s website: www.hbdanesh.org
This talk was given in Victoria, Canada on 9 February 2012.
The Baha’i Blog team was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Danesh. We are forever grateful to him for giving us permission to share these talks, and for the profound wealth of knowledge and insight he has left behind through the breadth of his service and works.
