Noor Inayat Khan Bücher

Noor Inayat Khans literarisches Werk strahlt Weisheit, Anmut und geistige Tiefe aus und bietet einen kreativen Zugang zur spirituellen Freiheit, inspiriert von ihrem Vater, dem Musiker und Mystiker Hazrat Inayat Khan. Ihre Texte, die Märchen, Sagen, Legenden, Fabeln und fiktionale Geschichten umfassen, sind voller Poesie und zeichnen sich durch die Vielfalt ihrer Erzählkunst und die subtile Schönheit ihrer Sprache aus. Die kulturellen, religiösen und literarischen Einflüsse, die sie während ihres kurzen Lebens aufnahm, prägen ihr Schaffen. Sie ließ sich von den Lehren der Sufis, den heiligen Schriften der Weltreligionen, griechischen und indischen Legenden, mittelalterlichen Epen sowie von Tierfabeln und weihnachtlichen Bräuchen inspirieren. Der erste Band bietet eine fundierte Einführung in ihr Leben und Werk, ergänzt durch wertvolle biografische Informationen und zahlreiche Illustrationen. Der zweite Band enthält zwanzig Jataka-Erzählungen, die soziale Gerechtigkeit und Frieden thematisieren. Im dritten Band wird die Odyssee neu interpretiert, während der vierte Band Geschichten erzählt, die Ängste und Sehnsüchte der kindlichen Seele ansprechen. Alle Bände sind reich illustriert und laden zur Entdeckung ihrer tiefgründigen Erzählungen ein.

In a memorable retreat integrating deep meditation practices with discourses on the nature and interrelationship of spirituality, the universe, and everyday life in the world, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan urges us to consider a retreat as a rehearsal for life. “Discover yourself by becoming, by doing. The retreat situation marks a halt in which we step out of our normal mode of existence in order to reflect upon our lives and gain more clarity and, ultimately, become more aware of what our real objective is in life. A retreat is an opportunity for a lot of reflection, a time to explore those skills which will open up faculties that we are not using and insights of which we are not aware.”

An artful expression of Sufi teachings through the lens of a medieval Grail romance. Queen Belacane is dying. As a last act, she inscribes a book of counsels, or prince's mirror, to guide her newborn son on his life's path. The queen's counsels illuminate the way of futuwwa, a tradition of mystical chivalry traced to the Prophet Abraham. If the prince would unite the chivalries of Christendom and Islam and attain the Cup Mixed with Camphor, he must fulfill the pillars of his faith, and uphold the universal virtues of wisdom, courage, temperance, and generosity.
