Baha’i Fasting | [Elevated & Meaningful]

In this video I share the significance of Baha’i the Fast and obligatory prayer. Truly, fasting and the obligatory prayer help the progress of our souls. They also assist with its transcendence from the material things of this earthly temporary existence. There are many spiritual strengths and benefits one can derive from fasting and the obligatory prayer that most likely will be better appreciated once we move onto the next world, the spiritual world.

Importance of Obligatory Prayer and Fasting
https://bahai-library.com/compilation_importance_obligatory_prayer

Fasting, said ‘Abdu’l-Bahá “is the cause of awakening man. The heart becomes tender and the spirituality of man increases. This is produced by the fact that man’s thoughts will be confined to the commemoration of God, and through this awakening and stimulation surely ideal advancements follow”.1

‘Abdu’l-Bahá, cited in Star of the West, vol. 3, p. 305

Can Scientists Believe in God? | Dr. Enderle | UC Davis | [Elevated & Meaningful]

Dr. Enderle is a Chemist and a Theologian. He teaches Chemistry at UC Davis, and he is interested in the idea that God and Science can actually “share the same space” if viewed differently, than the traditional view. His point of view is very close if not the same, as the perspective of the Baha’i teachings on the concept of Science and Religion.

The following is a quote from Abdu’l-Baha:

“Any religious belief which is not conformable with scientific proof and investigation is superstition, for true science is reason and reality, and religion is essentially reality and pure reason; therefore, the two must correspond. Religious teaching which is at variance with science and reason is human invention and imagination unworthy of acceptance, for the antithesis and opposite of knowledge is superstition born of the ignorance of man. If we say religion is opposed to science, we lack knowledge of either true science or true religion, for both are founded upon the premises and conclusions of reason, and both must bear its test.”

Hello everyone, please be very careful what you hear and read and where you find your sources! In this video I described how there are fake websites out there, including youtube channels that pretend they are authentic. I am just making sure if you are looking for any information or guidance about Baha’i Faith and the teachings of the Baha’i Faith you go here:

AUTHENTIC BAHA’I WEBSITES
http://www.bahai.org/
http://www.bahai.org/library/

ALSO: My YouTube Channel is inspired by the Baha’i Faith, hence it is not representative of the Baha’i Faith at all, it is simply a personal experience and perspective so I urge you to not think of my channel as speaking for the Baha’i Faith! You go and gain your own personal experience and insight and share where you are able to! Thanks for your understanding and patience. IF you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to comment below!

Interfaith Gathering UC Davis | Mosque Vandalized | [Elevated & Meaningful]

January 28, 2017Sarv MithaqiyanElevated & MeaningfulBahá'í Community, Bahai, Bahai Faith, documentary, Elevated & Meaningful, Faith in Action, interview, Prayer, Unite, Unity, video, youtubeComments Off

Last Sunday some people decided to disrespect the beautiful blue Mosque, the Islamic House of Worship here in Davis California which is right across the UC Davis campus on Russell Blvd. The individuals who vandalised the place shattered a few of its doors on the right side of the Mosque and the back doors which are made of glass. A lady was recorded on surveillance camera putting bacon on the glass door handles and they had also flattened a few if not all bikes that were locked in sight.

Due to this tragic situation, in less than a few days the Muslim community asked for the neighbouring faiths such as the Christian and Jewish communities to come together for a united effort to pray together and stop any forms of prejudice.

All kinds of people were there from all over the world and it was a very beautiful gathering, akin to the kind of community and world we will eventually have in the near future!

I hope you enjoy this video, please share this so all can see and benefit from and leave any comments you may have down below:

I had a thought about the way we live our lives here in the USA. I wanted to talk about the culture of consumerism and the attachment to material things. I thought this could open the way for further questioning and thinking about this topic so that we become aware to not get worse.

Check out my other videos on various topics having to do with important things I think we should be talking about and thinking about!

PUBLISHING HIGH THOUGHTS | Abdu’l-Baha | [Elevated & Meaningful]

January 6, 2017Sarv MithaqiyanElevated & MeaningfulAbdu'l-Baha, Bahá'í Community, Bahai, Bahai Faith, documentary, Elevated & Meaningful, Oneness, Unity, youtubeComments Off

In this video I talk about the important aspect of publishing things that meets the needs of present day society.

The Beloved Master Abdu’l-Baha said:

“It is therefore urgent that beneficial articles and books be written, clearly and definitely establishing what the present-day requirements of the people are, and what will conduce to the happiness and advancement of society. These should be published and spread throughout the nation, so that at least the leaders among the people should become, to some degree, awakened, and arise to exert themselves along those lines which will lead to their abiding honor. The publication of high thoughts is the dynamic power in the arteries of life; it is the very soul of the world. Thoughts are a boundless sea, and the effects and varying conditions of existence are as the separate forms and individual limits of the waves; not until the sea boils up will the waves rise and scatter their pearls of knowledge on the shore of life.”

Proof that we have a SOUL | [Elevated & Meaningful]

December 30, 2016Sarv MithaqiyanElevated & MeaningfulBahai, Bahai Faith, documentary, Elevated & Meaningful, Faith in Action, Unity, video, youtubeComments Off

I made this video with some friends like 2 weeks ago with some friends talking about whether we have a soul. The conversation revolved around many concepts that allude to the fact that we don’t know everything, and that science doesn’t really know what an atom looks like. That we place our faith in things unseen but we know that those things exist by the effects they produce.

Please if you liked this video write in the comment below your thoughts about this topic, do we have a soul? How can we tell if we have a soul? What effects do our souls produce that help us to know for sure we have a soul?

the need for more Meaningful Content | Baha’i Inspired | [Elevated & Meaningful]

December 23, 2016Sarv MithaqiyanElevated & MeaningfulBahai, Bahai Faith, Elevated & Meaningful, Faith in Action, video, youtubeComments Off

We need to make more contents that have a purpose not only to inspire but to attract hearts to the love of God and to Baha’u’llah and to edify the souls of humankind and to arise and serve the best interest of their long lost faith. Humanity is on the urge of destroying itself because it has lost its identity and purpose, we need to combine the kind of video contents, music, and other forms of art to revitalise the truth of who we are and what we are here to do for 80 odd years.
Please if you watched this video and it has made you want to start making videos in this way, please contact me soon as possible and let me know, maybe we can work together!

almost Accompaniment | [Elevated & Meaningful]

This video is not representative of the totality of what accompaniment looks like, it’s just a few friends dedicated in their local neighbourhoods who have gathered to discuss what they have so far learned and how we can keep on learning and growing our communities. That’s why I didn’t allow a full discussion to be in this video, rather my video is to merely show that such conversations are taking place in this dark age of the world, that there are individuals who exist that are committed to building up a new “Divine Civilization” as envisioned by Baha’u’llah (The Blessed Beauty).
