Bahá'u'lláh

Mr. Hartmut and Mrs. Ursula Grossmann were the keynote speakers at the North Island Baha'i Summer School in New Zealand at the end of December 2013, and the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of New Zealand has given Baha'i Blog four of Mr. Grossmann’s audio talks for you to listen to.

The Grossmanns are originally from Germany and Mr. Grossmann was a former member of both the International Teaching Centre and the Universal House of Justice, until he retired in 2008. He passed away in 2017. A tribute to Mr. Grossmann can be read here on the Baha'i World News Service: news.bahai.org/story/1228/

We’ve been asked to remind everyone that Mr. Grossmann gave these talks as an individual Baha'i, and not as a representative of the Universal House of Justice.

Also, if you are interested in the DVD of these talks (which includes Mrs. Grossmann's presentations), you can order it by contacting: nationaloffice@bahai.org.nz

We hope you enjoy these talks as much as we do, and we'd like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Grossmann, the organizers of the summer school, and the National Spiritual Assembly of New Zealand for making these talks available to us all!

(To be sung in cycles, over and over, as an invocation of the Best Beloved).

Ya Baha'u'l-Abha, Ya Baha'u'l-Abha

 Ya Aliyyu'l-Ala, Ya Sahibu’z-Zaman

 Ya Aliyyu'l-Ala, Ya Sahibu’z-Zaman

TRANSLATION:

Ya Baha'u'l-Abha!: O Thou Glory of Glories! or, 
O Thou the Glory of the Most Glorious! 
Ya Aliyyu’l-Ala!: O Thou the Exalted, the Most Exalted!
Ya Sahibu’z-Zaman!: O Lord of the Age!

LYRICS (inspired by the the Holy Writings and Guidance):

"O ye beloved friends of God and handmaids of the Merciful!

Call ye to mind the blessed Name of our peerless Beloved, the Abha Beauty, in an uplifting spirit of unbounded ecstasy and delight, then unloose your tongues in His praise in such wise that the realm of the heart may be purged from the woes and sorrows of the world of water and clay, that the great heights of spiritual perception may be unveiled before your eyes, that the glorious signs of His Divine Unity may shine resplendent, a fresh outpouring of His grace may stream forth, and a liberal effusion of celestial confirmations may be vouchsafed unto you.

His Name is indeed the healing medicine for every illness, and imparteth warmth unto those starving with cold. It is the sovereign remedy and the supreme talisman. It is the source of life in both worlds, and of salvation unto such as have gone astray. Today this hallowed Name serveth as a shield for all mankind, and as a veritable refuge for the children of men. It is the wondrous accent of the Lord of Mercy, and His celestial melody.

Wherefore, O faithful friends, raise ye the triumphal cry of Ya Baha'u'l-Abha! O ye who yearn after the Beauty of the Almighty! Lift up your faces toward the Supreme Horizon. Rest not, even for a moment. Breathe not a single breath save in remembrance of His love and in recognition of His grace, in the promulgation of His Utterances and the vindication of His Testimonies.

Verily, this is the Magnet of divine confirmations. This is the mighty Force which will surely attract heavenly assistance."  
(Abdu'l-Baha, A Tablet of the Greatest Name).

"The triumphal cry Ya Baha’u’l-Abha resoundeth on every side, and the call Ya  Aliyyu’l-Ala ringeth throughout all regions. No stir is there in the world save that of the Glory of the One Ravisher of Hearts, and no tumult is there save the surging of the love of Him, the Incomparable, the Well-Beloved." (Abdu’l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha, p. 233)

"Mi Oracion" by Miguel Perez

This is an audio recording of the 'Toward Prosperity: The Role of Women and Men in Building a Flourishing World Civilization' statement released by the Baha'i International Community (BIC).

This five-page statement was prepared as a contribution to the 61st United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. It includes these powerful words:
"Women and men are equal, and always have been." This document examines prosperity, as it relates to "the economic empowerment of women in the changing world of work" and the BIC states that "while the path towards prosperity has many obstacles, it is also paved with hope." 

With the recent release of this statement and the celebration of International Women's Day on March 8th, we wanted to help spread the word about this statement as it offers the leaders of the world a Baha'i perspective on a critical subject.

The Baha'i International Community represents the worldwide Baha'i community, in all its diversity, at the United Nations. The BIC has UN offices in New York City and Geneva, as well as regional offices in Addis Ababa, Brussels, and Jakarta.

'Toward Prosperity: The Role of Women and Men in Building a Flourishing World Civilization' can be read and downloaded here on the website of the BIC:
