The language of prayer . . .

Prayer was the subject of the West Berkshire Baha’i Community’s first ‘Time to Unwind’ prayer and meditation devotional session of 2011 (5 January).

West Berkshire Baha’i Shawn Khorassani said: “Prayer is an intrinsic part of life for Baha’is. It’s something that it very important to us. Bahais believe that prayer is more like a conversation with God in contrast to meditation, which is like a conversation with one’s inner spirit.

 “It is therefore not the language which is important, but rather the attitude of mind in which prayer is made.”

Hope is the subject of the ‘Time to Unwind’ prayer and meditation devotional session being held by the West Berkshire Baha’i Community in Newbury, from 8pm to 10pm on Wednesday 24 November.

West Berkshire Baha’i Myra Erbenova said: “Hope is an important topic for Bahais.  The writings of Bahá’u’lláh themselves are a message of upliftment and hope to humanity, with unity as its central principle and ultimate promise.”

Bahais are taught to “look ye not upon the present, fiz your gaze upon the times to come.’ In the beginning, how small is the seed, yet in the end it its a mighty tree. Look ye not upon the seed, look ye upon the tree, and its blossoms, and its leaves and its fruits.”
