Baha'i House of Worship, India - Lotus Temple

Baha'i House of Worship, India - Lotus Temple A Bahá'í House of Worship, is the designation of a place of worship, or temple, of the Bahá'í Faith. Its for all people to commune with God.

Welcome to the official page of the Bahá’í House of Worship, popularly known as the Lotus Temple located in New Delhi, India. Like eight Houses of Worship around the world, this magnificent structure stands for the principle of the oneness of humankind. People of all racial, religious, national backgrounds, are welcomed to pray and meditate within its precincts. It is a collective centre

of society to promote cordial affection where everyone is held in its embrace as equals. This edifice is dedicated to the one God, the Creator of all humanity and of the entire universe. The House of Worship highlights the importance of prayer in the life of individuals and communities. It provides a space for expressing that desire to communicate with our Creator through prayer that is conceived as “the essential spiritual conversation of the soul with its Maker, direct and without intermediation”. It further underscores the significance of collective worship as a fundamental element of a pattern of community life that is spiritually and materially prosperous. Furthermore, devotional services at the House of Worship are universal in character, welcoming all to be uplifted through opening their hearts and minds to the Words of God. While worship forms a key tenet of the House of Worship, service to humanity is considered an outward expression of the inner transformation that worship brings about. This service is expressed through deeds carried out in the spirit of service for the betterment of humanity; communal worship in homes, neighborhoods and villages; an educational process that builds the capacity of individuals to serve others; and, through a pattern of community life embodying the principle of the oneness of humanity. In this manner, a House of Worship is envisioned to become a centre for social, scientific, educational and humanitarian services, living up to its title of the “dawning-place of the mention of God”. This Bahá’í House of Worship, dedicated to public worship in 1986, is the property of and is owned by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of India. This Bahá’í House of Worship of the Indian subcontinent joins six other Bahá’í Houses of Worship around the world: Apia, Western Samoa; Sydney, Australia; Kampala, Uganda; Panama City, Panama; Frankfurt, Germany; Wilmette, USA. Each of these Houses of Worship, while sharing some basic design concepts, has its own distinct cultural identity embodying the principle of unity in diversity.

“Let the flame of the love of God burn brightly within your radiant hearts. Feed it with the oil of Divine guidance, and protect it within the shelter of your constancy. Guard it within the globe of trust and detachment from all else but God, so that the evil whisperings of the ungodly may not extinguish its light.”
-Baháʼí Writings

“अपने प्रकाशमान हृदयों में ईश्वरीय प्रेम की जगमगाती हुई लौ जलने दो। इसे दिव्य मार्गदर्शन के तेल से दीप्त रखो, और अपनी भक्ति की शरण में सुरक्षित रखो। विश्वास तथा ईश्वर के अतिरिक्त अन्य सबसे अनासक्ति के दुर्ग में इसे संरक्षण प्रदान करो, ताकि दुर्जनों की बुराई की फुसफुसाहट इसके प्रकाश को बुझा न दे।”

“सबसे पहले तो मनुष्य की जीवन-शैली में शुद्धता होनी चाहिए, फिर ताजगी, स्वच्छता और चेतना की स्वतंत्रता। पहले निर्झर पथ निर्मल होना चाहिए, तभी सरिता की मृदुल जलधाराएँ उसमें प्रवाहित हो सकेंगी।”

“संगीत की कला दिव्य और प्रभावकारी है। यह आत्मा और चेतना का भोजन हैं। संगीत की शक्ति और मोहकता के माध्यम से मनुष्य की चेतना उच्चतर हो जाती है। यह बच्चों के हृदय में आश्चर्यजनक असर तथा प्रभाव डालती है, क्योंकि उनके हृदय पवित्र हैं, और मधुर स्वरों का उन पर गहन प्रभाव पड़ता है।”

It is incumbent upon you to foster its growth through the living waters of wisdom, of sanctified and holy words, so that its root may become firmly fixed and its branches may spread out as high as the heavens and beyond.”

- Baháʼí Writings

“ईश्वरीय शब्द एक पौधों के समान हैं, जिनकी जड़ें मानव के हृदयों में रोपी गई हैं। तुम्हारे लिये यह उचित है कि तुम इन्हें विवेक के जीवंत जल, पुनीत एवं पावन शब्दों से सींचो ताकि इसकी जड़ें दृढ़ता से जम सकें और इसकी शाखाएँ आसमानों तथा उसके पार विस्तार पा सकें।”

God, the Creator of the universe, is all-knowing, all-loving and all-merciful. Just as the physical sun shines on the world, so the light of God is shed upon all Creation. It is impossible for any mortal mind to truly understand the reality of God.

Throughout the ages, God has sent Divine Messengers known as Manifestations of God—among them Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muḥammad, and, in more recent times, the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh—to cultivate humanity’s spiritual, intellectual and moral capacities. Following the coming of a Manifestation of God extraordinary progress occurs in the world. Reaching to the roots of human motivation, His teachings awaken in whole populations capacities to contribute to the advancement of civilization to an extent never before possible.
The Baha'i Writings say “These holy Manifestations have been as the coming of springtime in the world…For each spring is the time of a new creation…”
