Githa Teachings of Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan
Every Other Thursday at 6 pm PT/9 pm ET
Hazrat Inayat Khan developed a system of Sufi studies based on four circles. The second circle of study is called Githa. This bi-weekly class is open to murids (students) who have received initiation at the 4th– 6th level within the Inayatiyya’s Inner School.
In each class we study Hazrat Inayat Khan’s teachings, reading his esoteric papers in order of subject followed by spiritual practices and a short period of subhat (spiritual conversation). Our esoteric paper classes are traditionally free as is the case with this series.
Please contact Sherdil Nelson to learn more, to register, and to request a Zoom link: esotericpapers@inayatiyya.org. Email him your name, location (city, state/province & country), the name of your Inayatiyya Spiritual Guide, and your initiation level within the Inayatiyya Inner School.
Githa is a Sanskrit term for “song” or “singing.”
