MANA – Arising to Serve (Full Album)

August 22, 2023, in Music > Community, by

We’re excited to share MANA’s second album free to listen to here on YouTube! MANA, which means “inner power” or “strength of spirit” in many Polynesian languages, is a musical and cultural performance group made up of young Pacific Island Baha’is who are mainly based in Sydney, Australia. This creation of love was the service the group decided to undertake as a result of their participation in the Ruhi Study circles. They hope that this resource will aid others to memorize the sacred texts found in Ruhi Book 2: Arising to Serve.

You can purchase and download individual tracks or the entire album, as well as other MANA albums, on Bandcamp.

You can also skip directly to the track you want to listen to below.
