Beloved Ones of God,

Join us in Pilgrimage together to the roots of our lineage in Mother India.

In 1910, Hazrat Inayat Khan left India to plant the Sufi Message in Western hearts and soil. He passed Feb 5, 1927 and was buried in the Hazrat Nizamuddin neighborhood in New Delhi.

February 1 – 5 we will visit sufi shrines and holy places and participate in Hazrat Inayat Khan's Urs Celebrations at his Dargah (tomb/shrine). The Urs Celebrations are also a mini music festival of classical Indian performances.

On February 6 – 11, we will retreat to a beautiful rural setting on the outskirts of Delhi to deepen our practices together. We will be joined by many local DUP practitioners from India.
