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.
At a recent institutional meeting held in Suva, Fiji, participants from several clusters around the islands of Fiji gathered. Amongst the many songs and prayers shared, were these three beautiful original compositions, brought to you with love from the beautiful islands of the Pacific. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
Sung by (L to R) Waisea Mocevata, Tabuki Drodro, Rohan Ludher, Isireli Racagi
“How we long to see humanity illumined with the love of its Lord; how we long to hear His praise on every tongue. Knowing the ardency of our wish, you know then the emotion with which, when we lay our heads upon the Most Holy Threshold, we implore Baha’u’llah to make you, and all who cherish His precious Faith, ever more perfect channels of His ineffable grace.”
“Baha’u’llah states that “the purpose for which mortal men have, from utter nothingness, stepped into the realm of being, is that they may work for the betterment of the world and live together in concord and harmony.”
