The secret Strength of things

Which governs thought, and to the infinite dome

Of heaven is as a law, inhabits thee!

The Ecstasy Beyond Knowing: A Manual of Meditation by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan is now in print and ready to order.

The Ecstasy Beyond Knowing represents the distilled wisdom of Pir Vilayat’s long lifetime of spiritual seeking and experiences, his dialogues and deep friendships with other mystics and spiritual teachers, and his explorations into the nature of reality with scientists and philosophers.

Noorunisa Inayat Khan’s life is honored as part of a new series of “Remarkable Lives” stamps in the United Kingdom.

EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT THROUGH FRIDAY, MARCH 28th!

The world constantly pulls our attention outwards. By turning the focus within, our natural inner radiance is kindled and begins to illuminate life’s journey. In this weekend workshop, Pir Zia Inayat-Khan, the lineage holder and grandson of the great Sufi mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan, will introduce the history, philosophy and foundational practices of the Hazrati Sufi tradition.

Would you like to deepen your inner life through the study of Sufism while living and working in spiritual community?

A newly designed Khidmat Work Study program is launching this spring. Come live, work and study Sufism at the Abode. New semesters begin March 30th, June 15 and September 7, 2014. To learn more, please visit www.theabode.org.

Greetings of peace and love! Following a month of travel, I am again home at the Abode. My travels took me first to Suresnes and Epernon in France, and then, together with my family, to Delhi, Baroda, and Ahmedabad, India.
