Description

Gayatri: The Prayers and Remembrances of the Inayati Sufis is a prayer book designed for use by the family of Sufi lineages descending from Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan (1882-1927). Included within are all prayers of the "Gayatri" sections of the Gayan and Vadan, as well as other prayers and remembrances, composed by Hazrat Inayat Khan, held and honored in the tradition of Inayati Sufism. Additionally, there is a section of universalist prayers and remembrances of the Inayati-Maimuni Sufi community composed by Pir Netanel Miles-Y pez and Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Zalman Sulayman Schachter-Shalomi, for the use of that community. For this volume, the original prayers & remembrances have been edited and adapted for clarity in modern English and made gender inclusive. Notes have also been added in the back to explain context, non-English vocabulary, and the origins of various prayers.
