egg-tempera painting by Murshid Khabir Kitz
Hazrat Inayat Khan was founder of the Sufi Order International and Universal Sufism. He initially came to the West as a representative of several traditions of classical Indian music, having received the title Tansen from the Nizam of Hyderabad.
However, Khan's life mission was soon revealed to be the introduction and transmission of Sufi thought and practice to
the West.
His universal message of Divine Unity focused on the themes of Love, Harmony, and Beauty and evinced his distinctive and effective ability to transmit the highest spiritual truths of Sufism to western audiences.
