Time to dust down your old guitar?

It may be time to dust down your guitar or piano, or any other instrument of choice, and get inspired by music. If you are tempted to put this Bahá’í prayer to music, you’ll find the chords here.

Here is the prayer: “O God! Educate these children. These children are the plants of Thine orchard, the flowers of Thy meadow, the roses of Thy garden. Let Thy rain fall upon them; let the Sun of Reality shine upon them with Thy love. Let Thy breeze refresh them in order that they may be trained, grow and develop, and appear in the utmost beauty. Thou art the Giver. Thou art the Compassionate.”

Golden moment in Haifa

Hundreds of thousands of tourists and thousands of Baha’i pilgrims are expected to visit the newly restored golden-domed Shrine of the Bab in Haifa, Israel this year. The Shrine of the Bab and its gardens are renowned the world over for their beauty and tranquillity and have just been unveiled after more than two years of extensive restoration work.
