PILCR..IMACE TO THE 91st VRS CELEBR..AT1ON OF SUFI

FEBRVARY 2 - 1 1, 2 0 1 8 ~ 1 N D A

Beloved Ones of God, join us in pilgrimage together to the roots of our lineage in Mother India.

In 1910, Hazrat Inayat Khan left India to plant the Sufi Message in Western hearts and soil. He passed February 5, 1927 and was buried in the Hazrat Nizamuddin neighborhood in New Delhi.

February 2-6 we will visit sufi shrines and holy places and participate in Hazrat Inayat Khan's Urs Celebrations at his Dargah (tomb/shrine).

On February 6 – 11, we will retreat to a beautiful rural setting on the outskirts of Delhi, to deepen our practices together and let India come to us. The Urs Celebrations are a mini music festival and we will continue evening concerts at our rural retreat.

Leading the Pilgrimage Pir Shabda Kahn Murshida Leilah Be

We will have the support of Dr. Farida Ali,

who lives at the Dargah of Hazrat lnayat Khan

and knows the history, geography and living qualities of the Sufis
