This new volume of the Complete Works series gives all found lectures by Inayat Khan over the period January to May 1925. Fourteen of the talks (one in German) are published here for the first time including one question and answer session with invaluable advice on guiding mureeds. The other twenty talks are seen here for the first time unedited. The talks were given during Inayat Khan's tours of Switzerland, Italy, Germany, England and the Netherlands, as well as talks given in Paris. Most readers of Inayat Khan's work will be familiar with the three plays published by the International Headquarters of the Sufi Movement in 1939: "The Bogey Man", "the Living Dead" and "Una". This volume now brings together two previously unpublished works: "Omar Khayyam" and "Tansen"; a treatment for a play which he never completed, "Rama"; and "Ameen -- the Faithful Trustee" which has long been out of print. We trust that this volume will provide a rich source of material for all those interested in Inayat Khan's teachings.
Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882 1927) came to Europe and America from his native India with a message of love, harmony, and beauty that was a new approach to harmonizing Western and Eastern spirituality. He established a school of spiritual training based upon traditional Sufi teachings infused with the vision of the unity of religious ideals and the awakening of humanity to the divinity within. Inayat Khan died in India in 1927, leaving a significant body of recorded discourse and instruction on all things pertaining to spiritual ideals in the midst of life in the world.
