- Hello and welcome to the Baha’i Blogcast with me your host, Rainn Wilson.
In this series of podcasts I interview members of the Baha’i Faith and friends from all over the world about their hearts, and minds, and souls, their spiritual journeys, what they’re interested in, and what makes them tick.
As Baha'is and their friends around the world celebrate the 12-day Festival of Ridvan, I thought it would be nice to create a special video episode about Ridvan and its significance, so I got online with my friend, Tom Price, to have a chat about this special time for Baha'is. I hope you find this little conversation about Ridvan interesting and informative.

The one and only Tom Price. Art and science, inspiration and scholarship as well as articulation and magnetism all in one person. Thanks for everything, Tom!
'Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a heavenly civilisation ' This Bahai quote says it all for me really .
What a champion is Tom price, loved it 👏 👌
I can’t wait for the next great talk with Tom price on this subject.
Tom the Priceless and Sunny Rainn! Blessed Ridvan to everyone!
I love Tom Price and his clarity on so many Bahai subjects he's the best speaker I've heard in all my years as a Bahai. And of course Rainn Wilson's humor and he's such a great teacher whose right out into the public declaring his beliefs makes him very courageous. Thank you to you both.

Hoping that Rainn will do another interview with him after listening to Part 1 of Becoming Your True Self a few weeks ago. Is Part 2 coming soon?
Thank you guys for this enriching session - we live in a most glorious Day of God.

This talk is amazing. This is a sweet talk about real significance of Rizvan (Ridvan) festivity, the 3 great holy days of the Bahai Faith, which renews every created things in the world, during Bahaullah's official announcement of his mission in the garden of Rizvan with roses and the singing of the nightingales.

I love that the Baha'i Knowledge Network is hosting a livestream celebration for all 12 days, and now hearing the reference to the Guardian making note of why the 1st, 9th and 12th are Holy Days (and how Tom Price refers to all days as special) is confirming, when we have this particular opportunity to celebrate all 12 of days of The Most Great Festival.
Thank you so much Rainn and Naysan and BahaiBlog
PS> I loved finding out the name of the horse Baha'u'llah rode.
allh'u'abha Rainn Wilson happy rezvan
Gracias Rainn por invitar a Tom Price, siempre he escuchado todas sus charlas, tan brillantes en la profundidad de sacar a la luz los significados de los escritos. Los amo, y me llena el alma tan grandemente que soy feliz, que rememoren esos Dias Mas Grande del Rey de las festividades. Desde Ecuador un abrazo enorme y que La Bendita Belleza los siga proveyendo de la Luz de su Gracia.
Guau, he estudiado español para años con dificultad, pero entendí casi todas tus palabras! Con amor de California.
Feliz Ridvan, days of felicity. These guys 'ignited in my heart. . .' This is food and wine.

I love Tom price and rainn wilson
This is so interesting...and I now need to search to find the source of Shoghi Effendi's explanation of why we take the 1st, 9th, and 12th days of Ridván off from work.
and share
@@smkolins I would, but so far I have struck out.
"As regards various matters you raised in your letters, the reason we commemorate the 1st, 9th and 12th days of Ridvan as Holidays (Holy Days) is because one is the first day, one is the last day, and the third one is the ninth day, which of course is associated with the number 9. All 12 days could not be holidays, therefore these three were chosen." (Letter written on behalf of the Guardian, dated June 8, 1952, to an individual believer, in Lights of Guidance, p. 230)
@@ThomasPrice19 Thank you! I appreciate your taking the time to post this.
Happy Ridvan fron Spain. This is a great present for these days.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Juan! Happy Ridvan!
Happy Rizvan !!!
HAPPY RIDVAN to you too!!! :)
Happy Ridvan!!
HAPPY RIDVAN!! :)
Is there any significance in the 100th anniversary of Ridvan? I know the UHJ was formed but there seemed to be a revolution in cultural attitudes that swept the 1960s off its feet and influenced us ever since. So many artists, musicians, designers, writers emerged with great works and significant ideas. Many people may have got a slightly wrong take on the times and drugs and sexual permissiveness but the impetus threw humanity into a new frenzy of creativity.
Yes, I've often thought that too. I listened to the song "The Age of Aquarius" then with this notion, And all the songs about world peace and unity that really became popular in the 60s onwards. We didn't really have popular peace songs prior to the 60s, except for perhaps gospel or hymns.
1963 was the year I graduated from high school! LOL No? Oh, okay... Oh wow, I just remembered, it was also the year I heard about and accepted the Bahá'í Faith. Coincidence? Probably. 🤭
Alla'u'abha!
Learned alot from this Blocast.

Love Tom Price! And it wasn't mentioned, but it's hard to imagine a better composer of Bahá'í music (much of which I've performed in various groups), as well as his seemingly limitless knowledge of Bahá'í and other history. I didn't realize we were in the 9th Vahid of Bahá'u'lláh's dispensation. How cool is that? 🙏And btw, Tom didn't mention it, but Vahid, besides being 19 years, means *unity!* More perfection is hard to imagine.
Thank you.
This is awesome! ❤️

@@BahaiBlog Dear Rainn, I've already subscribed to your podcast and listen to your programs regularly. We also thought you were hilarious as Harry Mudd in Star Trek Discovery. My wife Varya and I love SciFi. 😂
Your latest podcast with the Esmailizadeh sisters was very illuminating. I'm going to have my 11-year-old daughter listen to that. And I was watching this conversation with Tom Price with my three children over lunch today - they're aged 11, 7 and 5. We learnt a lot of new things about Ridván.
Keep up the awesomeness! We love you! ❤️
Very Interesting!
And since we are talking about a jump- sharp take off- in knowledge after the revelation of Bab and Bahaullah, please consider this point also:
"The soul that hath remained faithful to the Cause of God, and stood unwaveringly firm in His Path shall, after his ascension, be possessed of such power that all the worlds which the Almighty hath created can benefit through him. Such a soul provideth, at the bidding of the Ideal King and Divine Educator, the pure leaven that leaveneth the world of being, and furnisheth the power through which the arts and wonders of the world are made manifest. Consider how meal needeth leaven to be leavened with. Those souls that are the symbols of detachment are the leaven of the world. Meditate on this, and be of the thankful.
(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 160)
There were more than 20,000 such " detached unwavering faithful" souls who gave their lives for the Faith in the first two years, than in any other religion in history! The prophecy concerning the Day of God in the Bible says that: knowledge shall cover the earth as the water cover the sea.

What is the proof that Baha'u'llah is who he says he is? Is there evidence besides prophecy from the holy books of religions, as they are most certainly not accurate. Thanks
Argyle Street An important proof is the words of Baha’u’llah. A key Baha’i principle is that each person must independently come to their own conclusions about who Baha’u’llah is. The best way to do that is to read His writings for yourself.
Hello there! One of the principles of Baha’u’llah is the “Personal and independent investigation of truth” - I guess that means that you have the chance to investigate and see for yourself if He is who He is! :)
@@davidumeda5516 Thank you for the response. However, the words are certainly not a proof. In a court of law, the words of the defendant need to be backed up by witnesses and evidence. I appreciate what you are saying. And there are many people throughout history that have spoken wise and beautiful words, but they never claimed to be a Messenger of God. I'm really looking for hard evidence and so far I have not heard that from Baha'i's. Again, thank you.
I am fascinated with this question. Unfortunately I am not smart enough to know what constitutes "proof." If you would agree to explain what you see as a proof from another topic, I might be able to understand better. For instance (in all sincerity), could you explain the proof that the sun is what people say it is?
You have the proof if Baha’u’llah touches your heart, although if you are like me the mind is a gatekeeper and a claim such as being a Messenger go God also needs to pass logical tests. I think you have to look at the whole picture of the universe, God as Creator, and all the religions throughout history. If there is one God, why are there so many religions? Baha’u’llah says that all the religions are really one, so that answers that question, and I believe that is true. There is no other answer to the problems of the world today.
If you believe ALLAH is God, I don't Jesus Christ is the only one that came and died for forgiveness of sin, You can not entry Heaven without forgiveness of SIN that is why Jesus came to save the world. Jesus is the way, the truth and life eternal! read the Bible!!!
Selling religion! There is no good mullah. Muslim mullah, Christian mullah, Jewish mullah, Baha'i mullah, Buddha mullah.... All is a business, selling religion!
Why try so hard to put so many words in so many people's mouths just to make oneself believe their metaphysics is better than everybody else's? Whatever happened to the unity of religion? The thing is once you make a religion, you've automatically rejected all other ones and there goes the unity out the window.
