♥ JUST OUT: PHYSICIANS OF THE HEART IN GERMAN
This ground-breaking book on Sufi spiritual practice, published in English in 2011 (visit web site), has inspired great interest among the world-wide Sufi community and others. It is a guide to the sacred practice of active remembrance of the divine qualities, the beautiful Names of the One — which can open the seeker's way to ever-greater freedom and peace. Our sisters and brothers in the German-speaking lands felt the call to arrange a translation into their language, and it will be available soon from Ruhaniat Publications.
To cover a part of the expenses for the translation, a special edition has been made, which is on the market since the 2016 Federation Gathering. You can buy one at a price of €101. For details please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. The standard edition will be released later.
Incidentally, we have a helpful online pronunciation guide for the Names, with female and male voices represented. (About Physicians of the Heart). Also,we understand that Spanish as well as Turkish translations of Physicians of the Heart are in preparation!
