HAZRAT SUFI INAYAT KHAN was born in Baroda on July 5th, 1882 and passed 
away in Delhi on February 5th, 1927. He was a preeminent Sufi mystic 
and master of his time, and an accomplished classical musician. As a 
young man his music was acknowledged in the courts of princely India, 
and he was at the same time a devoted mureed of his Murshid, Shaikh 
Syed Abu Hashim Madani of the Chishtia silsila. In 1910, responding to 
the words of his Murshid to "Fare forth into the world, my child, and 
harmonize the East and West with the harmony of thy music", he sailed 
with his brothers to the West where he worked for the rest of his life 
sharing the universal Sufi message of spiritual liberty based on love 
and respect for fellow humans, recognition of the unity of religious 
ideals, cultivation of the art of personality, and appreciation of the 
sacred nature of music.
