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.
Baha’i Blog 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 Budapest, Hungary with Nóra Kégli, Béla Munkácsy, and Laci Makay who sing “Legdicsőbb nevedre kérlek (I Ask Thee, By Thy Most Glorious Name)” in Hungarian based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Budapest, Hungary in April 2023.
LYRICS/QUOTE IN HUNGARIAN:
Ó, Istenem! Legdicsőbb Nevedre kérlek, Segíts engem mindabban, mi szolgáidnak hasznára válik, és abban, mi által felvirágzanak városaid. Mert bizony Néked van hatalmad minden dolgok fölött.
