(Sugoi Desune!!)How Wonderfull!!

Reception Center

Dear Friends, I have been to the Temple twice. Both times I love it. Once after the World Congress in 1992 ( coming from Africa) and the 2nd time I had the whole place to myself...In Sept 2006. I heard at the time that the reception Center was undergoing some renovations and there were a lot of new ideas being incorporated. I would love to get a detailed report of the changes as I had read about them only and say some rough sketches at the time. We are about to remodel our own Baha'i Centre here in Montreal and I would love to share your ideas and sketches ( plan) with the friends. I remember one very important factor is that you added MORE ( natural) LIGHT.../windows. and that I remember being so vital. Added items of ecological value also. Is there a way to get that plan on internet with the ideas that were incorporated. Much obliged. ( can it be viewed also...on virtual). Warmest Baha'i Greetings with love maria

Include music in the virtual presentation

It would be wonderful to include some music with this, maybe from the Choir that sings there so beautifully with heavenly verses., also include a virtual of the reception center.. It is absolutely wonderful and beautiful to see. Our Mother Temple of North America whose corner stone was laid by Abdu'l Baha himself. What an event, what a blessed spot. Greetings and love. maria

I wish to some music from

I wish to hear some music from the Choir. BLESSINGS TO EVRYONE!Luky

Listen to music from the Baha'i Choral Music Festival

You can listen to a whole hour of music from the 3rd Annual Choral Music Festival concert, held at the Temple in May 2009 by going to the National Assembly's Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QJpQ0qgyiY. At the same site, you can also hear individual songs from the concert. Enjoy!

The Gardens

A nice addition to this display would be of the gardens outside of the House of Worship. I've had a seeker spend hours in the garden and was really impressed with it. She eventually became a Bahai and I felt great being able to take her to the House of Worship to spend time praying, reflecting and meditating inside as well as outside in the gardens.

House of Worship - Virtual Tour

Thank you so much for sharing the beauty of the House of Worship with us.

Wow

You guys are too much! This is really fantastic! Keep up the great work! Bahá'í greetings from Mexicali. Have a great day! :)

Baha'i Temple

Beautiful pictures, great architecture. Navigating made me remember the days I used to pray inside the Temple, reading prayers in Spanish and walk around the gardens full of beautiful flowers, meeting visitors from many parts of the world and meditating with the calm and tranquility that the place gives you when you are there. It is something to remember all your life. It gives me peace to see this pictures. It is like being there again. Thanks to all who contributed to this website! Congratulations!

Baha'i House of Worship Virtual Tour

Having visited the temple many years ago, it's a wonder to be able to easily take a virtual step inside and spin round to view its beauty once again. Likewise for the outside.

Templos

Queridos Amigos: Tan solo agradecer, desde el fondo de mi corazón, la oportunidad de conocer los templos en forma virtual, tan solo los conozco en fotografías. Un abrazo cariñoso, Alicia Claros Iquique. Chile

Very nice Pictures Best

Very nice Pictures Best Regards

the temple and Bahaullah's messages

I first visited the temple at noon on Sunday, September 27, 2009, when I took special note of two of Bahaullah's inscriptions. The first one was above an entrance: "The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens". This quotation reminded me of similar messages in the Bible and the Qur'an. Another quotation from Bahaullah was in an alcove: "Consort with the followers of all religions with friendliness". This I have tried to do as an ecumenical Christian and professor of Modern Middle Eastern History.

Great pictures!

Great pictures, i really wish i could visit the temple some day !! :( Anyways good article, keep up the good work!

great place for god lovers

Man i love the place seriously. Worshipping comes from inside i guess your mind will be stable in the place like this.

Thank you

Thanks so much for sharing these pictures. It brings back SO many memories when I look inside and imagine all the many visitors who come to see it. What would it take to do a virtual tour of the Visitors Center as well?

exterior

I would love to see the exterior from the top of the House of Worship. It would be fantastic Moro

Overall

I am so glad you guys have this virtual tour. I been working on drawing the exterior of the building because I find it to be inspirational as well as artistic. I only wish I could see it in real life, but this tour is almost as good. I would like to see more of surrounding area such as the gardens though.

House of Worship
