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 video showcases the beauty of the resting place of Shoghi Effendi, Guardian of the Baha’i Faith, accompanied by the reading of a loving letter from the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of the United Kingdom. The letter details the significance of this sacred place, the recent renovations and enhancements to the site, and a warm invitation for all to come and pray and meditate there.
