Hello Jamiat Am. I see from the list of participants on zoom that you are missing out on the Suresnes Summer School. These sessions are based in The Hague, in The Netherlands, held in English, with Pir Zia giving some talks from Richmond, and Shaikh-al-Mashaikh Mahmood Khan being a major presenter. It goes from July 2 to July 10, on zoom and also in person, at no cost.
Bawa just gave a fascinating talk on Murshid, the yoga of Patanjali, and Identity, and without one word about alchemy! He then led a meditation, on the five aspects of mind, that was innovative, fresh, and full of insight.
There are dozens of wonderful sessions to choose from. Here are a few miscellaneous highlights. I’m afraid I don’t the European presenters and can’t say anything about them: The times are given in EDT:
Sat, July 2 at 11 AM EDT - Talk by Pir Zia
Sun, July 3 at 2-4 PM - Special concert, renowned tenor with music of Maheboob Khan
Mon, July 4 at noon - Saki Lee, music/poetry>
Tues, July 5 at 2:30 PM -Talk and Zikr with Pir Zia, for Murshid’s birthday
Wed, Jul 6 at 10 AM - Talk by Tarana Jobin on Murshid’s music
Plus numerous sessions led by Shaikh-al-Mashaikh Mahmood, and lots of music and poetry
Have you noticed this, that when Bawa gives talks working with Shaikh-al-Mashaikh Mahmood Khan, they are both especially inspired? Maybe that’s my imagination, but I don’t think so.
For zoom link and full program, go to the Inayatiyya Home Page and click on the event. (Note: a passcode is needed, and it’s 8n8dg4)
With love and blessings,
