H A P P Y N A W - R U Z ! «This sacred day, when the sun illumines equally the whole earth, is called the equinox, and the equinox is the symbol of the Manifestation of God.» The traditional New Year’s Day, January 1st, happened a few months ago — so why do the world’s Baha’is celebrate New Year’s now, on the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere? On that day — called the vernal equinox, which happens after sunset on March 20th this year — Baha’is everywhere sing, eat, dance and socialize together to celebrate the new year.

Every child is potentially the light of the world—and at the same time its darkness; wherefore must the question of education be accounted as of primary importance. From his infancy, the child must be nursed at the breast of God’s love, and nurtured in the embrace of His knowledge, that he may radiate light, grow in spirituality, be filled with wisdom and learning, and take on the characteristics of the angelic host. - #AbudlBaha #Bahai #Spirituality #Edication #Parenting

I charge you all that each one of you concentrate

I charge you all that each one of you concentrate all the thoughts of your heart on love and unity. When a thought of war comes, oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love. Thoughts of war bring destruction to all harmony, well-being, restfulness and content. Thoughts of love are constructive of brotherhood, peace, friendship, and happiness - #AbdulBaha #bahai #spirituality #love #kindness #friendship
