Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882 1927) came to Europe and America from his
native India with a message of love, harmony, and beauty that was a
new approach to harmonizing Western and Eastern spirituality. He
established a school of spiritual training based upon traditional
Sufi teachings infused with the vision of the unity of religious
ideals and the awakening of humanity to the divinity within. Inayat
Khan died in India in 1927, leaving a significant body of recorded
discourse and instruction on all things pertaining to spiritual
ideals in the midst of life in the world.
