Sufi Order International
The Sufi Order International is an organization dedicated to "Universal Sufism" as elaborated by Hazrat Inayat Khan. The order is currently led by Pir Zia Inayat Khan, the grandson of Hazrat Inayat Khan and son of Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan.
The activities of the Sufi Order International, in keeping with the vision of Hazrat Inayat Khan, are contained within five concentrations — The Esoteric School, The Healing Order, The Universal Worship, Kinship Activity, and Ziraat. Each concentration is headed by a senior member of the Sufi Order appointed by the Pir. These are described further on the Sufi Order's Activities page.
The Sufi Order International has centers throughout the world, where one may take classes, learn about practices, and find fellowship with other seekers. Some choose to work with a guide, who has been trained in the lineage of Murshid Inayat Khan, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, and Pir Zia Inayat Khan (and ultimately through the Chisti order in India).

Famous quotes containing the word order:
“It does not follow, because our difficulties are stupendous, because there are some souls timorous enough to doubt the validity and effectiveness of our ideals and our system, that we must turn to a state controlled or state directed social or economic system in order to cure our troubles.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
