Highlighting Australia
- As a proudly Australian initiative, we’re excited to showcase a collection of Australian stories, music, tributes and more.
Join activities, celebrations, study groups, spiritual empowerment and education programs for young people, and more.
Baha’i beliefs address essential spiritual themes for humanity’s collective and individual advancement. Learn more about these and more.
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 Santiago, Chile with Lydia Mills and Eduardo Rioseco singing “Ojalá (O that I could travel)” based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha.
This song was filmed and recorded in Santiago, Chile on 26 May, 2019, and music was composed by Carlo Signori.
SPANISH
Ojalá pudiera viajar, aunque fuese a pie y en la mayor pobreza, a esas regiones, y elevando el llamamiento de «¡Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá!» en las ciudades, pueblos, montañas, desiertos y océanos, promover las enseñanzas divinas. Lástima, no puedo hacerlo. Cuán intensamente lo deploro. Quiera Dios que vosotros lo logréis.
Abdu’l-Baha
ENGLISH
O that I could travel, even though on foot and in the utmost poverty, to these regions, and, raising the call of “Ya Baha’u’l-Abha” in cities, villages, mountains, deserts and oceans, promote the divine teachings! This, alas, I cannot do. How intensely I deplore it! Please God, ye may achieve it.
