This time I am with my friend Armando Troche discussing the beauty of poetry and the power of writing when one is inspired. Armando is a Baha’i who pioneered to China for a few years in 2010 till about 2014 roughly. He is a powerful and soul-stirring poet you must listen to and see for yourself.
Find Baha’u’llah’s writings that Armando read for us here:
“Every word is endowed with a spirit, therefore the speaker or expounder should carefully deliver his words at the appropriate time and place, for the impression which each word maketh is clearly evident and perceptible. The Great Being saith: One word may be likened unto fire, another unto light, and the influence which both exert is manifest in the world. Therefore an enlightened man of wisdom should primarily speak with words as mild as milk, that the children of men may be nurtured and edified thereby and may attain the ultimate goal of human existence which is the station of true understanding and nobility.”

Very Moving And Most Eloquent!
Dear bahai media, Please don´t use the terms Bahai poet and bahai poems. Looking from the art world there is not such thing what you could or should call bahai art, we are not there yet. I´m professional artist my self and feel really awkward when our community uses such misleading terms. There is bahais who are artists, poets ,composers,painters .
Thank you for your suggestion we changed the title to Baha’i-Inspired Poems. If you watch the video you will see that Armando wrote a poem about Tahirih and mentions Baha’u’llah in there indirectly. There is no problem with the title now. Armando is a Baha’i also so there is no problem. There is no harm being committed. Thank you again!
Alla’u’Abha! I have been Bahai for last 40 years. Now a day, I am writing poems and short stories on the basis of Bahai teachings. They are in Nepali and I have started to translate into English slowly. I would like to share my contributions. It is nicer to contact with poets and story writers. Finally, publish them.
