The Urs of
Pir-o-Murshid
Hazrat Inayat Khan

|
| There comes a
holy and transparent time when every touch of beauty opens the heart to
tears. This is the time the Beloved of heaven is brought tenderly on
earth. This is the time of the opening of the rose. - Hazrat Inayat Khan
|
Sufism regards the passing of a soul as a wedding to the Beloved! We
will celebrate this date with a sacred retreat honoring the soul legacy
left to us by our great teacher and guide, Hazrat Inayat Khan. We will
attune to the spirit of his being and meditate on the Message of Love,
Harmony, and Beauty that he brought to the West 100 years ago, and that
continues to resonate in our time. The retreat will be led by Khabira
Brown, Lakshmi Barta-Norton and Aqil Brown.
Come for the whole day or half a day.
Suggested Donation $33 - $66.
Please bring a potluck to share for lunch.
RSVP Khabira at (781) 793-9252 / SufiOrder. In the
event of snow, call ahead to confirm.

Come, come
The Beloved has arrived!
The rose garden is blooming
Run and offer your life and the world

- Rumi
The rhythm of the inner life gives peace, and the perspective it brings is pervaded with beauty and meaning. This weekend will be devoted to what is ultimately valuable to us, but often pushed aside by busyness. Guided primarily by the Sufi teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, and with the support of spiritual camaraderie, we will explore the terrain of the soul and listen to its message of wisdom.
Gayan is a companion and guide to those who feel called to the courageous path of love. He has been a student of the Sufism of Hazrat Inayat Khan for over 30 years. He co-created Sufi Retreats, a process of inner transforma-tion integrating mysticism with modern psychology. Gayan is a lead teacher in Suluk Academy and has worked closely with Pir Zia Inayat Khan to create Seven Pillars House of Wisdom. Professionally, he has consulted to corporate executives for 25 years concerning the art and science of human rela-tions. Gayan is also a singer song writer.

The Sufi Order International of Greater
Boston Constellation of Light is devoted to meditation instruction,
spiritual growth, and the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, Pir Vilayat
Inayat Khan, and Pir Zia Inayat Khan. It sponsors classes and events
occurring in Boston, Massachusetts and throughout southeastern New
England at a number of locations - a constellation of lights. It is a branch of the Sufi
Order International, an interfaith international organization.
"Thus the ultimate purpose
for which the soul is seeking every moment of our life, is our spiritual
purpose. And you may ask how to attain to that purpose. The answer
is that what you are seeking for is within yourself. Instead of
looking outside, you must look within. The way to proceed to accomplish
this is for some moments to suspend all your senses such as sight,
hearing, smell, touch, in order to put a screen before the outside
life; and by concentration and by developing that meditative quality
you will sooner or later get in touch with the inner self which
is more communicative, which speaks more loudly than all the noises
of this world; and this gives joy, creates peace, and produces in
you a self-sufficient spirit, a spirit of independence, of true
liberty."
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
