In 1844, Siyyid Ali-Muhammad (known by His title, the Bab, which means "the Gate") announced that He was the bearer of a Divine Revelation whose aim was to prepare the world for a Messenger of God--Baha'u'llah. The anniversary of that declaration is celebrated by Baha'is and their friends all over the world.
Service to humanity is an act that springs from a love for all humanity and a recognition of its oneness. In this collection, we explore the themes and perspectives around this critical spiritual principle.
This short film shares a beautiful story about service and the joy it brings. The video was produced by a team of international filmmakers in north-western Zambia with the support of the Baha’is of Mwinilunga.
The Mwinilunga cluster is vibrant and bright: you can read about the dynamism of this area in this Baha’i World News Service story or listen to some of the joyful and energetic songs this village has created here on Baha’i Blog. This film, performed by the local Baha’is in the Lunda language, tells the story of a heartfelt conversation between a grandmother and her granddaughter about helping others and preferring others over yourself.
