Books and music
A shop and mail order service selling books, pamphlets, posters, music CDs, and jewellery is operated by the New Zealand Bahá'í Distribution Service (BDS).
Two recent publications in Māori are also available from BDS: Ngā Kupu Huna a Bahá’u’lláh (The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh) and Bahá’u’lláh Me Te Wā Hōu (Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era). Bahá’í prayers and writings are also available in other Pacific languages, including Tongan, Samoan and Cook Island Māori.
The BDS bookshop at the Bahá'í National Centre is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday. Alternatively you may contact the Bahá'í National Office to place an order directly.
