About the author
HAZRAT INAYAT KHAN was an Indian musician, Sufi teacher, poet, philosopher, and writer who founded the Sufi Order in the West in 1914 and later helped establish the International Sufi Movement. His books include The Bowl of Saki, Education from Before Birth to Maturity, and The Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan, the last published in twelve volumes.
Khan was born in Baroda into a family of classical musicians and was initiated into the major streams of Indian Sufism. He traveled to the West in 1910, commissioned by his teacher to harmonize East and West, and lectured and taught throughout Europe and the United States.
Inayat Khan died in India in 1927.
