Dear Filip, as someone who was first introduced to Hazrat Inayat Khan (by Pir Vilayat) about 60 years ago, I commend you for this presentation! You have the facts right, you give deep context to his teaching, and you choose the quotes with insight. You honor your subject! You even found some photos I've never seen. I am looking forward to watching your video on Inayat Khan and Music. "Towards the One, the Perfection of Love, Harmony and Beauty..."

[@behesht7]

I fully agree with this comment. I have met several of the senior teachers in this silsileh. Fillip's presentation is true to this path and I hope more people will be inspired to follow in the footsteps of Inayat Khan. Nurjahan

Earlier this year I encountered a marvelous presentation of a portion of Inayat Khan's writings on music with appropriate and beautiful music played (which I can only assume would be from the sage's compositions) - this was given by an Australian Buddhist nun called Samaneri Jayasara whose splendid readings of spiritual works often with music are available on KZbin under her name. I instantly felt a connection with these thoughts on music, and I am so grateful to find your offering here to deepen my knowledge of this most astounding individual. The film you showed of him walking is heavenly. Thank you so much for filming this.

[@LetsTalkReligion]

Sounds very interesting! Where can this presentation be found?

[@DoumSound]

Check out his book The Mysticism of Sound and Music. First read it about 25 years ago and it changed my life. Unfortunately, there is no record of anything he composed, and believe me I have looked 😊. If you search his name you will find his the website with all of his writings available for free.

What an engaging video! I read "The Mysticism of Sound and Music" multiple times during my musical education. Interestingly, the jazz musicians I collaborated with were the ones who recommended it to me. Inspired by their suggestion, I decided to study dhrupad in India. My primary aim is to become a composer and touch people's hearts with compassion through my music. Inayat Khan's book has inspired me to discover this purpose in many ways. Thank you for sharing this!

[@Pallasathena-hv4kp]

Oh my. What a serendipitous video. 😊❤🙏 Inayat Khan’s quotes were wonderful. It seems he speaks of the Sanatana Dharma. Very interesting that like Swami Vivekananda, it was Western Women that embraced his Sufi message first. A Western Woman was a primary initiate for Inayat Khan as for Swami Vivekananda. This openness is the same as the mystical traditions explored by Sri Ramakrishna. Wonderful. ❤ This video makes me feel as if I’ve chanced upon a rare jewel, a facet of the Philosopher’s Stone that transforms all to gold. So glad you mentioned the Perennial Philosophy too. Thanks for a thorough video. Interesting that he was in Calcutta while the ideas of Sri Ramakrishna were brewing. Just Wow. Pure mysticism, just different words to describe the same….

[@mdlahey3874]

A marvelous video... Thank you! Whilst I was at University, a rather severe faculty member was invited to speak about Sufism to one of our classes. He began his lecture by immediately warning his listeners about persons whom he regarded as pseudo-Sufis, in particular naming Vilayat Inayat Khan, and possibly Hazrat Inayat Khan himself, though my memory is now vague. It might be very interesting to hear more about contrary attitudes within Sufism and Islam, which anathematize Khan's approach.

[@c.a.t.732]

Thank you so much for this, Filip. Shortly after graduating high school in the early 70s, I came across a little paperback in a bookstore entitled "Music" by "Sufi Inayat Kan". The book changed my life, and still sits on a shelf a few feet away from where I write this.

[@RAyLV17]

Hi, I wanted to request you to make a little documentary on Hussein-Ali Montazeri from Iran (he was next in line to be the supreme leader, however was denounced after his critical views on the then Ayatollah). More regarding his views on Islamic Law in contrast with the current way it is being exercised in the country. However I'm not sure if you cover religious content that is also deeply (and controversially) involved with politics. I found out about him just today on Wikipedia, but also noticed that there isn't a lot of mainstream information/documentary on him.

[@ms.porter8866]

Thank you friend. I was patiently wondering if you saw my request for this.💜

[@thendsufi]

Hazrat Inayat Khan is probably the biggest reason why I now identify as a Sufi (in addition to your wonderfully informative content on Sufism). I now have my own podcast and KZbin channel called The Neurodivergent Sufi and I’m planning on doing an episode about Hazrat Inayat Khan very soon. To address your point at the beginning, Filip, the way I practice Sufism is similar to how the Earth is structured. In other words, Islam is the core, but the mantle and the crust consist of other influences such as Hinduism, Zoroastrianism and Taoism.

[@gror7849]

You identify as a Sufi? 🙃 Or you are a Sufi? Cause this "identifying" business that is sadly practiced and abused here in the West is more posturing than actually anything resembling the practice and the depth Sufism, Hinduis, Zoroastrianism or Taoism have to offer.

[@thendsufi]

@ I’m glad you asked. I simply mean that I am not part of a particular order (at least not yet) and I have never interacted in person with other Sufis because I am disabled and travel is extremely difficult. I don’t drive and have no access to public transportation, as I live in a rural area. Though I am not affiliated with any order and have not studied under a particular master, I strongly identify with many aspects of Sufi culture and spirituality, and I’ve taught myself a lot about the faith, which I believe in with all my heart. It’s not my fault I can’t do certain things in person that other Sufis can, but I still call myself a Sufi because that’s what I am in my heart and I don’t need the outside world to validate that for me.

[@BlancheNeigefan]

Thanks for your graceful and informative answer to the other commenter. I really hope that you can connect in person with other sufis, though I'm sure you already did through your studies.

[@thendsufi]

@ I appreciate the compliment. I am trying to be better about being gracious and patient with people. I didn’t particularly care for that person’s comment, but I decided to respond with kindness and love because that is what is expected of me by Allah (SWT). There is a verse in the Qur’an that talks about the importance of speaking in a calm, gentle tone of voice, because “surely the most repugnant of voices is the braying of the donkey.” I always keep that verse in mind whenever I get angry. Even if I start out speaking loudly out of anger, I recite that verse in my head and immediately correct myself and try to lower my voice.

In 1974, when I was 17 years old (I am 68 now), I got involved with the Sufi Order. Our house had lunch with Pir Vilyat Khan, Hazrat's son. We also studied many Sufi Sams( Samuel Lewis) 's work and performed his Sufi Dances. Sam studied with Hazrat and a famous Zen master, Swami Ramdas, and many evolved Sufis after Hazrat's passing.

[@Xirsiev]

I am so excited nowadays about this channel's content on -Islamic mysticism (Sufism) and philosophy.

[@alvarobarcala]

I am not into sufism but I am very fond of that "tradition", their music, history and especially poetry. I lived in many places in the Middle and Near East, and at the beginning I went there with this "naive" mentality thinking that they would appreciate that I am fond of such things... but it is the contrary, it is even dangerous if you mention sufism, sufi philosophers or poets, unless you are in a circle of people you can trust at this regard, which are very tiny or small. So, despite my big admiration for islamic traditions I have become very very cautious about those cultures in current times (though still open to many things), and it is very hard to transmit this to so many Westerners that have very naive views due to their love for sufi traditions.

[@amitozazad1584]

There is a comment on growing hatered towards Muslims in India recently. I must point out the other side. India has always celebrated and embraced the music, poetry, and teachings of Sufi mystics native to this land. Be it the works of Inayat Khan, the poems of Baba Bulleh Shah, the verses of *Saif ul Malook* by the renowned Kashmiri Sufi poet Mian Muhammad Bakhsh, the music of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, or the teachings of Baba Fareed-these contributions have enriched the spiritual and cultural tapestry of India. However, the Islam practiced in Arab countries, such as Saudi Arabia, is fundamentally different from the Sufism of this region. In Arab Islam, music and art are often considered *haram* (forbidden), which stands in stark contrast to the artistic and devotional expressions found in Sufism. I grew up in a Hindu-Sikh family, and my understanding of Islam was shaped by the Sufism of this land, as spread by revered mystics. The *Guru Granth Sahib* even includes teachings of Muslim mystics like Sheikh Fareed. Growing up, we would listen to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's renditions of *kalam* by Bulleh Shah, which further strengthened my perception that these teachings reflected the essence of Islam. Sufism, in many ways, aligns with the principles of Bhakti yoga, as both emphasize a deep, intoxicating devotion to one's guide (*mursheed*) or to Allah (*God*). However, my perspective shifted when I moved to Europe and encountered Islam as practiced in Arab countries, which adheres strictly to a word-by-word interpretation of the Quran, *authentic Hadiths*, and the *Seerah* (life and practices) of Prophet Muhammad. This form of Islam is vastly different from the Sufism rooted in the Indian subcontinent. It made me realize why some Muslims struggle to integrate into European cultures and societies. The Arab influence on Islam often views Sufi practices like visiting *dargahs* (shrines of saints) as *shirk* (associating partners with Allah), which directly conflicts with the centuries-old traditions of this land practiced by both Hindus and Muslims. For example, my mother used to take me to such *dargahs* despite us being non-Muslims, demonstrating how deeply ingrained this practice is in the region’s culture. Figures like Baba Bulleh Shah of Pakistan, who was declared a *kafir* (non-believer) and denied a proper burial, and Mansur Al-Hallaj of Persia, who was executed for proclaiming "Ana al-Haqq" (I am the Truth, akin to the Vedantic "Aham Brahmasmi"), highlight the historical tension between orthodoxy and mysticism. India, however, has always embraced these mystics and their teachings. But the growing influence of Arab Islam among Indian Muslims poses challenges to the harmony between communities. If Arab-influenced Islam rejects practices like visiting *dargahs* or considers worshippers of Ganesh, Ram, and Shiva as destined for hell due to polytheism, it creates an environment of alienation and conflict. Furthermore, beliefs such as the *Hadith* of *Ghazwa-e-Hind* (the prophesied conquest of India) sow insecurities among the native populations. The point is that importing the Islam of Arabia threatens the harmony between Muslims and Hindus in India. While it is true that radicalization has increased among certain Hindu groups, the growing influence of Arab Islam has also led to an identity crisis among Indian Muslims, making it harder for them to live in harmony with others. India has a long tradition of celebrating diversity and incorporating mystical traditions, and it is essential to preserve this spirit for the continued coexistence of its communities.

[@catherinemira75]

The communal ceremony with a prayer that states the value of 'all known and unknown masters' is unique in mentioning that being a master is not necessarily linked to being a famous prophet. Traditional religions all stress the need to give our time and effort to their specific prophets. But we usually encounter significant and meaningful masters in our personal life that aren't widely known and these crucial encounters seem to be coming from a universe bent on delivering a specific message to each one of us. The classic case of falling in love is a message (good or bad) revealing to us what we need to understand about ourselves and our destiny. There's hardly anything more important to each one of us than to understand the meaning of love on a personal level, with a real human being. And so, a 'special delivery' message is sent by the universe under the guise of a 'master' that I would call 'destiny' and which demands that we turn our thoughts towards the meaning of life, God and death/time.

Inayat Khan was related to Indian Muslim ruler, Tipu Sultan, who was also known as the lion of Mysore for his rebellion against the British invaders in 1780s. The use of rocketry in battlefield was documented to be used by Tipu Sultans' soldiers against the British. To his dead, Tipu Sultan, was a staunch enemy of the British. Ironically, Inayat Khan's daughter Noor Inayat Khan was a British spy in France in the Second World War.

[@Alkemisti]

So, he was basically the Swami Vivekananda of Islam? Did he have any connection to Ivan Agueli? Seems like they could have potentially had things to share, both being artistic Sufis, and spending time in France and Sweden. I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian, and I have learnt and gained a lot from other religions, especially Tasawwuf and Mahayana. I love the deep mystical love and union Sufis have with God. I have been vaguely aware of Inayat Khan (a Baha'i Facebook friend has shared Inayat quotes from time to time), but I have oftentimes dismissed him, favouring more classical teachers like Ibn Arabi, Suhrawardi, al-Ghazali, and so on instead. This video was very interesting.

[@Alkemisti]

What's special about Sufis: they don't have a formalistic literal adherence to the letter of the Law, and they don't attach importance to whether you are Sunni or Shia, for which approach they were persecuted by the Orthodox in their time...

Amazing work as aways man. Is it possible a video on Abhinavagupta soon?

[@LetsTalkReligion]

Hadn't thought of doing one dedicated to him, since the Kashmir Shaivism episode is so focused on him. But it's not a bad idea actually

[@gsp2040]

Thank you so much would mean so much man @LetsTalkReligion

Its almost like people have their own interpretations and beliefs. We might have a cultural fundament but are still individuals. Who knew.
