Baha’i Blog’s “Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we're in Melbourne, Australia with Behzad Khoshmashrab who sings “Eshgh Manam” in Persian. It is based on a poem by Mansour Hallaj which is cited in a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha revealed in honor of a Persian prince who was totally enamoured with the love of God and who taught the Faith constantly and audaciously until the end of his life.

C G D Emin

"Thou knowest, O God, and art my witness that I have no desire in my heart save to attain Thy good pleasure, to be confirmed in servitude unto Thee, to consecrate myself in Thy service, to labor in Thy great vineyard and to sacrifice all in Thy path. 

I have no wish save to turn my steps, in my love for Thee, towards the mountains and the deserts to loudly proclaim the advent of Thy Kingdom, and to raise Thy call amidst all men.

 I have no occupation save mention of Thee and no aspiration save serving Thee."
