Featured in: The Baha’i Fast
The Baha’i Fast falls during the month of Ala–the last month of the Baha’i calendar. During these 19 days, Baha’is abstain from food and drink between sunrise and sunset. While this abstention from food and drink is a test of one’s will and discipline, the Fast is not just about abstaining from food. The Fast is, primarily, a spiritual practice.
Singer-songwriter Elika Mahony has released a new song in honour of the Fast based on passages from the Writings of Baha’u’llah and Abdu’l-Baha.
This song beautifully complements other work Elika has produced for this potent time of year such as “Meditations for the Fast” and the “Long Fasting Prayer”. She’s also compiled an incredible resource list of inspirational tools for this 19 day time period.
