  • Visit the new Ruhaniat Calendar. You can find it in the menus at the top of the page: "SRI Events At a Glance" under the "Calendar" tab. Frankly, we have never found an ideal online calendar program, but this new version allows the user to quickly scan all the upcoming camps, retreats etc and the names of leaders at each. It's only one line per event, giving the essential info, with web links are provided to take you to a flyer or detailed information page. Unfortunately we have to give up the short 'coming events' listing that used to appear at the lower left. You win some, you lose some. World-wide Summer Camp and event listings are arriving (as well as Winter & Spring). See the calendar for details.
  • You can now purchase the large format soft-cover version of Physicians of the Heart, a Sufi View of the 99 Names of Allah, from the SRI here."This book takes you into the heart of the mystery of these sacred Names. It is a vehicle for understanding the infinite nature of God, and for discovering the divine potential in every soul." -- Murshid Wali Ali Meyer. List price is $36.95, our price $33.00 with free US shipping.
  • New details about the memorial in London to the heroic Noor Inayat Khan, who gave her life as an agent behind enemy lines during WWII, can be viewed here. Our fund-raising goal for this project is within reach!

  • Learn about the Knighthood of Purity, the order of Sufi chivalry (futuwwa) established by Hazrat Inayat Khan. The site is dedicated to Noor-un-nisa Inayat-Khan, whose heroism is a shining example of futuwwa. The site includes the Iron, Copper, Silver and Golden Rules, and the method of attuning to them. Gratitude to the Sufi Order International for creating this impressive online vehicle.
