The Murshids’ Circle is an advisory body to the Esoteric School of the Ruhaniat who support Pir Shabda Kahn in overseeing the substantive inner work of our lineage. Specifically, this includes developing programs for the transmission of the teachings, reviewing all higher initiations, and making decisions that affect the spiritual mission and future of the Ruhaniat. The yearly in-person meeting of the Murshids provides the opportunity to deepen collaborations, share and develop practices, implement policies, and further cultivate love, harmony, and beauty in service to the spiritual awakening of humanity.
Together with Pir Shabda Kahn and local Ruhaniat leaders, members of the Murshids' Circle offer many retreats and meetings during the year which carry the transmission of our lineage to seekers far and wide.
