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.
Baha’i Blog’s “Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Essen, Germany with Rosalynd Koch and Pascal Schmidt who sing “Fasting Prayer”, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Essen, Germany, July 2016.
Verily, I say, fasting is the supreme remedy and the most great healing for the disease of self and passion.
Baha’u’llah
