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 Sydney, Australia with Parisa Rowhani-Farid and Sahra Rowhani-Farid who sing “O Son of Being” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Sydney, Australia in December 2023.
This song was composed by Parisa Rowhani-Farid, An Tebyanyan and Matin Tebyanyan.
O SON OF BEING! Busy not thyself with this world, for with fire We test the gold, and with gold We test Our servants.
