Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan’s 96th Urs
3rd–5th February 2023, Delhi, India
On this most sacred day, we celebrate the life and legacy of our teacher, Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan. While there will be celebrations in person and online around the world, this year we are highlighting activities at Murshid’s dargah, 3rd–5th February 2023 in Delhi, India. Please see below for details shared by the dargah.
HAZRAT PIR-O-MURSHID SUFI INAYAT KHAN (Baroda, 5th July 1882–Delhi, 5th February 1927) was a mystic and a musician who was sought after by the great courts of India. In Hyderabad he received bayat from Shaikh Syed Abu Hashim Madani of the Chishtia lineage, and in 1910, heeding the prophetic advice of his Murshid, he sailed with his brothers to the West. There, traveling through America and Europe, he spent the rest of his life spreading the universal message of love for the Divine ideal, service to one’s fellowman, and respect for the unity of religious ideals. In 1926 he returned to India and passed away in Tilak Lodge, Delhi, on 5th February 1927.
THE DARGAH OF HAZRAT SUFI INAYAT KHAN is offered as a place of prayer and meditation for all people, without regard to religion, creed, gender, caste, class, nation or race.
