Illumination: The Saga of A Spiritual Master
Here for the first time is the story of the great Sufi Master Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan. Based on years of research and hundreds of hours of recordings as well as many private conversations, this is a unique record of the master’s story and thoughts as well as many little known facts about his life. It contains dozens of photographs and quotations never before released. It will thus be of interest to seekers as well as historians. Mikhail’s recording job gave him an unique opportunity to accompany Pir Vilayat on many of his trips around the world. This allowed him unparalleled access to Pir Vilayat’s thinking. In these pages we share the master’s doubts and dreams, failures and triumphs. The book also contains many first hand descriptions of what it is like to travel along with him on his inner and outer journeys. In sharing some of his own experiences and difficulties on the path, Mikhail offers unique insight into the nature of the Sufi Path that will be of great value to fellow students as well as to those contemplating embarking on this journey.
