DVDs about Inayat Khan:

In recent years, I have stumbled upon two DVDs which feature the life and teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan.

These DVDs may be difficult to find, but they are worth the effort!

 

1) Murshid as I Remember Him

This DVD is a collection of recollections by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan about his father, Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan.

The brief video snippets offered below are excerpts from a 68 minute-long  DVD entitled Murshid as I Remember Him, produced by Mikhail Horowitz around 2008, and are reproduced here with his kind permission.

Some of my favorite scenes:

The following link shows video snippets of a few of my favorite scenes from a DVD entitled Murshid as I Remember Him, narrated by Pir Vilayat (the eldest son of Inayat Khan).

These snippets from the DVD include numerous seldom-seen photographs as well as some rare film footage of Inayat Khan filmed in Suresnes, France in late 1926.

Note:
As of March 2020 I am unaware of any current source where this DVD may be purchased or viewed.

 

2) The Way of the Heart

This delightful 61 minute DVD, created by renowned documentary film-maker Mischa Scorer around 2010, honors the life and legacy of Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan.

The DVD features a number of Sufi teachers and students speaking about the life and teachings of Inayat Khan, as well as spoken quotes from a variety of Inayat Khan's spiritual discourses.

With it's diversity and breadth, there is surely something on this DVD which will appeal to any student on the spiritual path.

Sufism is the religion of the heart, the religion in which the most important thing is to seek God in the heart of mankind.
