The Bowl of Saqi: A Sufi Book of Days - Softcover

FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1922, The Bowl of Saqi is a collection of 366 aphorisms lovingly culled from the talks and personal notebooks of Hazrat Inayat Khan and arranged according to the days of the year, each aphorism serving as a meditation theme for the day. This much beloved classic of Sufi wisdom is for many Western Sufis the simplest and most accessible collection of Hazrat Inayat Khan's teachings and the one with which they are most familiar. Now, in this new edition, the original text has been revised, annotated and reformatted for a new generation of readers, making the language gender inclusive and explaining non-English vocabulary.

HAZRAT INAYAT KHAN was born in India in 1882. A master of Indian classical music, he gave up a brilliant career as a musician to devote himself full-time to the spiritual path. In 1910, he was sent into the West by his spiritual teacher and began to teach Sufism in the United States, England, and throughout Europe. For a decade and a half he traveled tirelessly, giving lectures and guiding an ever-growing group of Western spiritual seekers. In 1926, he returned to India and died there the following year. Today, his universalist Sufi teachings continue to inspire countless people around the world and his spiritual heirs may be found in every corner of the planet.
