Spiritual Liberty - The Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan Series - Vol. 5

Geneva, Switzerland: International Headquarters of the Sufi Movement, 1979. Third Printing Re-edited . Hard Back. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 5 3/4" x 8 3/4. 256 Pages. In 1910 Hazrat Inayat Khan set forth from his native India towards the West, where he was to bring his Sufi message. The first four years he travelled extensively in the United States and Europe, and at the outbreak of the First World War he settled down temporarily in London, where he gathered around him a group of pupils to whom he started to teach the fundamentals of Sufi thoughts and ideas. A part of those teachings which were suited for wider distribution were collected in the books contained in this volume, the fifth of the series now in course of publication. A Sufi Message of Spiritual Liberty is the first of these. It appeared in 1914 and has been unobtainable, as is the case with the other books, for many years. This first edition is reprinted here practically unchanged though some of the terminology used therein has been revised to make it conform to that of later books, and the biographical note it contained has been omitted, as a more complete biography has been planned for publication in the same series at a later date.
