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.
This interview from the Ink of Light Baha’i Writers’ Festival 2019 features multi-media producer and Baha’i Blog co-founder, Naysan Naraqi.
Naysan Naraqi is the co-founder and editor of Baha’i Blog and he’s also a member of the Ink of Light team. Naysan has worked on a wide variety of media disciplines for two decades, and he’s passionate about using the arts and all forms of media to support and explore the teachings of the Baha’i Faith. He has produced and collaborated on popular music projects like the “DawnBreaker Collective” and the successful Ruhi-inspired sequence of “MANA” albums. He’s worked on several projects for the Baha’i World Centre, and chances are, if there’s a Baha’i-inspired media project out there, Naysan may be connected with it somehow.
