Nasim Suluk Class

We are very pleased to announce the recent graduation of the Nasim Suluk Class, September 14, 2013 at Santa Sabina Retreat Center in San Rafael, California. Thirty-eight Saliks and Salikas graduated after two years of study.

Caravan of Souls is a guidebook to the Sufi path of Hazrat Inayat Khan, a spiritual philosophy of Love, Harmony, and Beauty. Within these covers the reader will find the essential teachings and methods of the Order and Movement he founded, as well as an inspiring array of sayings, poems, songs, prayers, stories, and biographical portraits.

The recently graduated Nasim class of Suluk Academy has produced sets of cards inscribed with Hazrat Inayat Khan’s Iron, Copper, Silver, and Golden Rules. The forty Rules offer an opportunity to consistently remember one’s ideals and to act upon them in daily life.

Toward the One

Dear Companions on the Path,

May these lines find you well.

Following a summer of travels, I have just returned with my family to the Abode of the Message. It is good to be back.

An exposition on the life of Noor Inayat Khan opens this week in Suresnes, France, coinciding with the inauguration of a primary school beside the Seine named for her memory: École Noor Inayat Khan dite Madeleine. Through text and images the exposition introduces Hazrat Inayat Khan and his work in the West and goes on to tells of Noor’s childhood, storytelling and heroic work for the Resistance. The exposition runs from the 10th to the 28th of September.

Somewhere between East, West, heaven and earth lies Turkey. Wherever we have turned here—in Istanbul, in Haci Bektash, in Cappadocia, in Konya—we have found the face of the Friend. As we prepare to leave tomorrow, our hearts are full of thanks for the kindness of our gracious hosts: Dr. Mehmet and Zehra Muge Kasim, Mehmet Soran, Fazal Mai, Hadiye, Nurunnahar, Gozem, Aysen, and Sheikh Celaleddin and Maylee Loras.

Yesterday was the Urs (anniversary of a Sufi master’s passing), and tomorrow is the birthday, of my father, Pir Vilayat Inayat-Khan (1916-2004). Among the many things for which he is remembered is his passionate love of sacred music.
