Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan organized his message and his work into different activities, with the esoteric school at the center:

Healing

Physical healing is accomplished by re-establishing physical rhythm and the circulation of breath throughout one's body. Heart Rhythm Meditation is essential for this.

Healing the heart includes the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person simultaneously. Inayat's teaching includes a new form of heart-centered psychotherapy and a healing modality using touch and vibration, for use in person or at a distance.

The Healing Activity incorporates the healing of all the life of the planet, from the biosphere to individual beings. For healing the human heart, the Healers will develop and promote the therapy of the heart, using the methods of Heart Rhythm Practice and incorporating nutrition, movement, and service.

"Through the rays of the sun, through the waves of the air, through the all-pervading life in space, purify and revivify me, and I pray, heal my body, heart and soul."

 

Priesthood

The Priesthood is dedicated to the religion of the heart, the sacred alter of all religions. Inayat created the form of the Universal Worship and said that the religion of the future would be the Religion of the Heart. The priesthood will work to creatively form a liturgy and promote the worship of the Heart among the religious and non-religious.

In this religion the thing of primary importance is to seek God in the heart of humanity.

"Open our hearts towards Thy Beauty, Illuminate our souls with Divine Light. Pour upon us Thy Love and Thy Light. Use us for the purpose that Thy Wisdom chooseth and guide us on the path of Thine Own Goodness. Draw us closer to Thee every moment of our life."

Esoteric School

Personal development is conducted in three aspects of "Doing, Knowing and Being:" addressing the pressing need, spiritual realization and character development.

See IAM.

"With the maturity of his soul, a man desires to probe the depths of life; he desires to discover the power latent within him. He longs to know the sources and goal of his life; he yearns to understand the aim and meaning of his life; he wishes to understand the inner significance of things, and he wants to uncover all that is covered by name and form. He seeks insight into cause and effect; he wants to touch the mystery of time and space, and he wishes to find the missing link between God and man - where man ends, where God begins."

Heart Rhythm Meditation is the essential practice that conveys the experience of Inayat's teachings.

One Single Family

Harmony among people is developed through the practice of "Contemplation", whereby you feel in your own heart what another feels. This empathy and understanding is then expressed naturally, from the heart, in words and acts of harmony and beauty.

The Family Activity will promote the practice of contemplation to advance understanding and ultimately harmony across cultures, classes, races and genders.

The arts of painting, drama and music will be used to teach contemplation and express and promote the ideals of love, harmony and beauty.

See One Single Family

"Toward the One, the Perfection of Love, Harmony and Beauty.
May the Message of God reach far and wide, illuminating and making the whole humanity as one single family in the Parenthood of God."

 

Knighthood

The Knighthood is dedicated to leadership in applying the power of the heart to the pressing needs of our time. In the fields of education, economy, agriculture, government, energy resources, international relations, technology, business and many others, the need for integrity, truth, purity and transparency is urgent.

The masters who purify and train themselves with light may be able to help when no one else can.

Leadership is developed through personal mastery, extraordinary ethics and a compelling mission coming from a magnetic and radiant heart.

My work I have given into your hand."
