Birthday of Baha'u'llah

"Tread ye the path of justice and equity in all things."
~Baha'u'llah~


Today I went over to Durham to celebrate the Birth of Baha'u'llah. Took the bus to Chester-le-street to meet up with Fereshteh to go together to Durham.
The gathering was a fun one, meeting the youth and meeting new people is always a refreshing thing. The programme was really nice, with a play and poetry reading, songs and games. A story of Baha'u'llah was told, a story that spoke about His greatness.
Food after the programme ended was good, persian food is always good!!! yummy!! Dessert were mouth-watering..chocolate pudding!!!!! :P

I really enjoyed myself and was glad that I decided to go. At first I wasn't sure if I was going since I had unfinished assignments, but decided to go since I was already stuck with it and thought that I won't get much work done either in the afternoon. Took pictures but the hall was dark and the pictures are lousy so i wont bother putting it up here....

Here's a prayer by Baha'u'llah, the founder of the Baha'i Faith

Create in me a pure heart, O my God, and renew a tranquil conscience within me, O my Hope! Through the spirit of power confirm Thou me in Thy Cause, O my Best-Beloved, and by the light of Thy glory reveal unto me Thy path, O Thou the Goal of my desire! Through the power of Thy transcendent might lift me up unto the heaven of Thy holiness, O Source of my being, and by the breezes of Thine eternity gladden me, O Thou Who art my God! Let Thine everlasting melodies breathe tranquility on me, O my Companion, and let the riches of Thine ancient countenance deliver me from all except Thee, O my Master, and let the tidings of the revelation of Thine incorruptible Essence bring me joy, O Thou Who art the most manifest of the manifest and the most hidden of the hidden!

~Baha'u'llah~
