Devon Gundry - Armed (Now Available on Itunes)

[LaDJTomTom]

Randomly found it and loved it!!

[Mr131211109876543210]

“Music, as one of the arts, is a natural cultural development, and the Guardian does not feel that there should be any cultivation of ‘Bahá’í Music’ any more than we are trying to develop a Bahá’í school of painting or writing. The believers are free to paint, write or compose as their talents guide them."

[macaucomment]

The words of the prayer and the effect of the video is powerful it knocks the breath out of me. Even though I know what's coming in the video, I still weep every time. I haven't connected with the Faith in a long time and this video popping up as "Recommended for you" is a sign. Ya Baha'u'l-Abha.

[lilacifyable]

one of the most powerful songs and vidoes ive seen in a while

[TheCandygore]

This is seriously one of my favorite songs!! I cried so much!! 

[TheCyberninja26]

can anyone tell how can i play this song in guitar?... im a bahai of puerto rico and im really interested on how i can play it.... alla'u'abha

[TheSamariJones]

Amazing!

[KiaraG1996]

This was so awesome it was powerful and 10/10 for Eva la rue.... Her reaction was exactly the way it happens I would know

[mehransadeghiyan]

so butifull



[jadedjackie1]

I'm crying right now, thinking about that on Dec 11th was the day my Mom died

[AlysoN654]

can someone please do this video with the lyrics???

[1TheKarmacode3]

So incredibly moving. Fantastic video - we don't get to see things like this in the UK! You have some real talent Justin, don't ever waste it on anything superficial, keep to your aim, your purpose and wonderful beliefs. Stay true.

[PaxusJKL]

DUDE! DUDE!!! DOUBLE RAINBOW...

[apossumhodown]

i know this is supposed to be a serious song and the comments should be too but 4:28 DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY!!!!!

[dawnbreakers888]

This song is AMAZING <3

[carmelb99]

I broke the replay button...

[GothyBlack2]

not a Bahai but this song was beautiful ;')

[justinbaldoni]

Hello everyone! I am soo moved by all of your comments. Thank you all for watching, crying and sharing this video. We are in the process of creating another video set to another one of Devon's pieces. Stay tuned and keep sharing! All my love, Justin

[AlysoN654]

i love this song so much <3

but i think Devon should've added more lyrics to this song cuz its like repeating the same 2-3 stanzas

[judiontherez]

@AlysoN654 with all due respect to your opinion, to me that is what makes it so powerful, those two repeated sentences from Baha'u'llah's prayer. That's all we need to remember, in times of joy and sorrow.

[AlysoN654]

@judiontherez lol so true :)

every time i watch this i end up in tears! :)

[demiselenanightlife]

@AlysoN654 Technically, he couldn't have. It's a prayer, and you can't change prayers.

[parisarowhani]

This makes me cry.

[rsll1986]

: )

[hyperacti]

I watch this when I have to study to remind me that there are worse things in life!

[TheShmadison]

4 people dislike this because they are still hurting,but they will find their way.

[rossinibkk]

Wonderful spiritual song for the world...

[RenovatedLocksmith]

When I first heard this song, I had just found the Baha'i Faith through a friend. I was never a religious person. I considered myself an agnostic before those few days of education changed my life forever. The first time I heard this song, it was beautiful. One night, in a moment of despair, I listened to this song. I had never prayed before. When I first heard that recitation, "Ya Baha'u'l-Abha," I wept at once tears of sorrow and gladness.

God bless you all.

[Eeneemon]

@RenovatedLocksmith Allah'U'Abha! Dear friend, I am always grateful for that He finds such pure souls!

With loving Bahai greetings from Mongolia!

[aggaNibbi]

can't sing this song without getting tears in my eyes :')

[HalomasterA69]

[Lyndez2009]

So amazingly beautiful!!!! Just what I needed. Thank you.

[MysteryJZ]

This song is so beautiful, it teaches us that our loved ones will never leave us no matter what <3

[Katluver1991]

This is amazing! <3 I swear, I have been a Baha'i for years without even realizing there was a name for it until recently. I have not officially declared, however.

[kavehmoosa]

Armed with the power of Thy name nothing can ever hurt me, and with Thy love in my heart all the world’s afflictions can in no wise alarm me."

[dawnbreakers888]

I cry everytime i see this video.... :'( <3

[dawnbreakers888]

I am so proud to be a Bahai <3 :)

[dawnbreakers888]

I swear to god, anybody who disliked this song must be so heartless....

[dawnbreakers888]

[RenovatedLocksmith]

@quinsy42 What LaDulce means to say is, yes, it is a song of faith. :) Greetings to you, Baha'i love. <3 

[JamalCorrie]

@quinsy42 Bahai :)

[demiselenanightlife]

@quinsy42 It is a Bahai prayer - extremely powerful. I suggest you look up the Bahai faith if you don't know what it is. Trust me, you will be inspired! I am so proud to be a Bahai. Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá and God bless you!

Ascend unto My heaven, that thou mayest obtain the joy of reunion, and from the chalice of imperishable glory quaff the peerless wine

Thaks, but which prayer

it says from Bahaollah, which book

[joycoxinchina]

Armed with the power of Thy name nothing can ever hurt me, and with Thy love in my heart all the world's afflictions can in no wise alarm me.

Send down, therefore, O my Lord, upon me and upon my loved ones that which will protect us from the mischief of those that have repudiated Thy truth and disbelieved in Thy signs.

Thou art, verily, the All-Glorious, the Most Bountiful. 20

(Baha'u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha'u'llah, p. 207)

Thank you, Justin, Devon and company, for this inspiring contribution to music, art, and not only the Baha'i community but the world community!

"The art of music is divine and effective. It is the food of the soul and spirit. Through the power and charm of music the spirit of man is uplifted." -Abdu'l-Baha

[ookamiyuubenka]

I'm so glad all of you worked together to make this song and video so great. Benny and Devon(though I know Benny didn't sing) are so talented with their modern music. It reaches so many others besides just Baha'i youth.

That's what makes this song/prayer truly inspirational. It crosses gender, racial, and religious borders. It reaches out and can touch everyone.

Thank you.

[hwamajean]

I thank God for He give you, the artist and producer and crew, the talents and strength to bring this wonderful video!!

[lomeharshan]

This video is truly powerful, very creative, timely, and the use of the Words of God, for sure this video will make an impact on the hearts that hearken to it.

It makes me remember what the Beloved Guardian said about the arts - The Faith will spread like wildfire when the arts are brought to the stage.

Keep it up, Devon, and me and some other youth in guyana spread your music throughout Guyana, it is loved. And to you all, pls be creative and experiment with the Arts, using the Creative Words.

[Liaa1571]

Hi Nazra. This protection prayer is by Baha'u'llah. It starts with

'Praise be to Thee, O Lord my God! Thou seest and knowest that I have called upon Thy servants to turn nowhere except in the direction of Thy bestowals,..."

Beautiful prayer!
