Beloved Ones of God,



Join us in Pilgrimage together to the roots of our lineage in Mother India.


In 1910, Hazrat Inayat Khan left India to plant the Sufi Message in Western hearts and soil. He passed Feb 5, 1927 and was buried in the Hazrat Nizamuddin neighborhood in New Delhi.


February 1 – 5 we will visit sufi shrines and holy places and participate in Hazrat Inayat Khan's Urs Celebrations at his Dargah (tomb/shrine). The Urs

Celebrations are a mini music festival of classical Indian performances.

Dargah of Hazrat Inayat Khan

On February 6 – 10, we will retreat to a beautiful rural setting on the outskirts of Delhi to deepen our practices together. We will continue daytime excursions to dargahs, then enjoy evening concerts and Dances at our rural retreat.

The Program • We welcome participants from all over the globe. Plan to

arrive at our hotel in New Delhi Wednesday evening/night January 31, 2024. Our program begins the morning of February 1, and we will be complete with

breakfast on Saturday morning February 10. You must make your own air travel arrangements and get an Indian VISA.


Throughout the program there will be morning raga classes, sufi teachings, tuning to our lineage, along with Dances of Universal Peace and zikr. We are

honored to welcome teachings from the illustrious 12th Tai Situpa Rinpoche, sharing his lineage wisdom, humor and the blessing of his presence. We will participate in three days of Urs activities, including Indian music performances, Qawwali music, the Urs Celebration Day, and presentations by Sufi leaders and local Sufi leaders.


While in the Delhi city setting we visit dargahs of Hazrat Inayat Khan, Hazrat

Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya, Hazrat Amir Khusrau, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, Hazrat Bibi Fatima Sam, as well as Humayun’s Tomb, the precursor to the Taj Mahal.


When we move to the retreat center at the edge of Delhi, we'll deepen our practices and also continue excursions to dargahs including Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Baktiar Kaki, the well where Hazrat Baba Farid did 40 days of practice, and Hazrat Khwaja Nasiruddin Chiragh Delhi.


Accommodations • In the first half of our Pilgrimage, we stay at a comfortable hotel in a quiet Delhi neighborhood located within walking distance to Hazrat Inayat Khan's Dargah. Shared rooms have a private bathroom, and wi-fi. Buffet-style brunch and dinner are included. Our meals are specially prepared for us and will include healthy vegetarian and non-vegetarian entrées. For the second half of the Pilgrimage, we'll stay at a beautiful rural retreat setting on the edge of Delhi, green and meditative, with three fresh organic vegetarian meals daily.


Tuition & Accommodation Costs Only • US $2,250 Does not include airfare. Tuition includes teachings, lodging and meals as noted above as double occupancy and some triple sharing at the retreat center. There are a few private rooms for an additional cost of $700 on a space-available basis.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and righting,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.
