Beschreibung

Gayatri is a prayer book designed for use by the family of Sufi lineages descending from Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan (1882-1927). Included within are all prayers of the "Gayatri" sections of the Gayan and Vadan, as well as other prayers and remembrances, composed by Hazrat Inayat Khan, held and honored in the tradition of Inayati Sufism. Additionally, there is a section of universalist prayers and remembrances of the Inayati-Maimuni Sufi community composed by Pir Netanel Miles-Yépez and Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Zalman Sulayman Schachter-Shalomi, for the use of that community. For this volume, the original prayers & remembrances have been edited and adapted for clarity in modern English and made gender inclusive. Notes have also been added in the back to explain context, non-English vocabulary, and the origins of various prayers.

Autor

Hazrat Inayat Khan was born in Baroda, India, on July 5th, 1882. A master of Indian classical music, he gave up a brilliant career as a musician to devote himself full-time to the spiritual path. In 1910, he followed his master's direction to go to the West to "spread the wisdom of Sufism" in the United States, England, and throughout Europe. For a decade and a half, he traveled tirelessly, giving lectures and guiding an ever-growing group of Western spiritual seekers. In 1926, he returned to India and died there the following year, on February 5th, 1927. He is entombed in the precincts of the dargah of Hazrat Nizam ad-Din Awliya'. Today, the universalist Sufi teachings he spread continue to inspire countless people around the world, and his spiritual heirs may be found in every corner of the planet.
