"Words can explain all things that are comprehensible, but for the soul, which passes beyond human comprehension, words are too inadequate. But the question, "How can a person then realize his soul?" can be answered, "by the inner culture." ~Hazrat Pir-0-Murshid Inayat Khan The Inner School (esoteric study) of the Sufi Movement International is dedicated to the inner culture, the realization of the Self. This path is understood as a serious endeavor, entered upon by taking Bayat (initiation) through a guide or senior teacher. Inquiring students are encouraged to attend Gatheka Study circles and initiated students attend Gatha Study circles. |

Beloved Hazrat Inayat Khan ~ Great Spirit Come
A beautiful tribute to Hazrat Inayat Khan, who brought Sufism to the west.
On this page you are listening to recordings from the Sedona Dances of Universal Peace. Leader: Cathryn Tezha Swann. The songs are:
The Mantra of Padmasambhava, Custom Zikr, and Allah Hu Allah.
The first song is a recording of a dance created by Bernie Heideman, based on the Mantra of Padmasambhava. Padmasambhava was the Buddhist saint to brought Buddhism from India to Tibet. It invokes the spiritual power of the Vajra Guru, the one who comes like a thunderbolt, to help us attain enlightenment. This is the Sanskrit version of the mantra.
Om ah hum, Vajra Guru padma siddhi hum.
There is also a Tibetan version of this mantra: Om a hung, Benza Guru peme siddhi hung.
Custom Zikr - I believe it was written by a student of Leilah Be. I learned it from Sky Majida at Canyonlands Dance Camp, September 2006, at the time the Invitation to the Dance documentary was filmed. The DVD ends with this song.
Allah Hu Allah - Allah is the name of God used by Arabic speaking people, both Christian and Muslim. It means both Yes (Al) and No (lah) so it is really like yin and yang, both masculine and feminine, all that is manifest and all that is unmanifest. Hu is said to be the breath of God. I understand this to mean that on the outbreath of God, physical manifestation happens in creation, and on the inbreath of God, that which has been physical returns to the God, to the unmanifest state.
