Devotional Meetings
Devotional gatherings are an important part of the communal worship of God by the Bah�� community. Programmes are based around a selection of prayers and readings from the Bah�� Writings (and sometimes from the Writings of other religions), accompanied by uplifting music. In the absence of rituals, each gathering is unique, and various forms of art are often employed to create a spiritual atmosphere conducive to connection with the Divine. The Word of God provides inspiration, rejuvenates souls, gladdens the hearts, and renews one�s sense of purpose.|
Baha�is and their neighbours gather in hundreds of places across
the country to attend small prayer sessions in diverse settings
such as homes, local community centres and other public venues.
The aim is to come together in praying, meditating, and reading
spiritual writings in a creative and uplifting way. There is no
set form for such gatherings. These devotional meetings are open to all, and are intended to awaken spiritual susceptibilities. They help to strengthen the devotional character of the community by embracing the attitude of prayer and reverence that is universal to all religions. |

You are welcome to simply sit, meditate and enjoy the spiritual
atmosphere, or take a more active role. Music is often a component of
these gatherings.
