The Silsila (the chain of realized beings) is a living lineage,
a chain of spiritually-realized beings whose lives and spirits ever
express the Spirit of Guidance to humanity. There are many such
chains, each associated with a particular Sufi order. In many Sufi
Orders the Silsila is often repeated to remind one of the unbroken
chain of Guidance, Blessing and Protection that flows continually
from the One Source of All into manifestation, and to deepen the
awareness and experience of the particular chain to which one is
linked through Bayat (Initiation).
Here is the Silsila of the Sufi Ruhaniat International,
preceded by one possible Invocation that may be used when calling
on this chain of blessing. Place the name of your initiator at the
end, followed by your own name as a faithful mureed worthy to receive
the baraka of Divine Love and Wholeness.
May you fulfill the purpose of your Soul.
Toward the One, the Perfection of Love, Harmony, and Beauty,
the Only Being,
United with All the Illuminated Souls, Who form the Embodiment of the Master,
the Spirit of Guidance.
