Baha’is believe in the power of prayer and you’ll find Baha’is and their friends, throughout the world, getting together to pray. This is often referred to as a ‘devotional gathering’ or ‘devotional meeting’, and they happen in diverse settings, whether in cities or villages.
This short documentary, produced on behalf of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Canada by WestWind Pictures, charts the development of the Faith in Canada from the unveiling of the Tablets of the Divine Plan to today.
Naysan is passionate about using the arts and media to explore the teachings of the Baha’i Faith. Back in 2011, Naysan started up the Baha’i Blog project, channeling his experiences in both media and technology companies to help create a hub for Baha’i-inspired content online.
A wonderful video.
Bonds of loving gratitude will forever link the Baha’i communities of New Zealand and Australia with that of Canada, because of the Canadian Baha’is who crossed the Pacific Ocean to help build those national communities. What inspiring, devoted ambassadors of their nation and Baha’i community!
In fact, the distinctive soft Canadian accent can be heard in a multitude of Baha’i communities throughout the world, a legacy of the great Canadian Baha’i community arising to fulfil the directives of the Tablets of the Divine Plan. For more on those Tablets, see the recently published book “Call to Apostleship” by Janet A. Khan (Baha’i Publishing, Wilmette, Illinois), 2016.
