<> <>Invitation to follow the ‘livestream’ of a special celebration in Katwijk on Sunday September 25th: 100 years “Murad Hassil” Katwijk, September 18, 2022 Dear Sufi friends, We would like to invite you to a special celebration in the Universel on Sunday 25 September. The reason is that this month it is 100 years ago that Hazrat Inayat Khan, bringer of the Sufi message of Love, Harmony and Beauty had a very special experience here in the dunes of Katwijk. A second reason is the anniversary of the Universel itself. It was completed in 1970, so 2020 was meant to be the year to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Due to corona that was cancelled, so we include that milestone now too. It will be a program with a lot of music (including Thijs van Leer, founder and band leader of the once world famous rock group FOCUS), short speeches by the leaders of the five international universal Sufi organizations and a short Informal Service. Exactly hundred years ago there was a Summer School in Katwijk led by Pir-O-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan, during which period he had his most important life changing experience in 'Murad Hassil'. During that Summer School in Katwijk he spoke every day about the same two topics: “The Inner Life” and “The Problem of the Day”. For our celebration of September 25th, we have chosen this last theme. What Inayat Khan told his students in September 1922 is still surprisingly topical today, 100 years later. The Pirs of the 5 Sufi Tariqas have been asked to give their view on this topic today. The program starts at 2 PM and ends at 4 PM (Mid European time). There will be a ‘live’ broadcast via YouTube so that everyone around the world will be able to follow the celebration. We very much hope you will be able to be part of this important celebration by joining in from a distance online. Click on the line below and we will send you the link to the TouTube broadcast a few days in advance. YES, I want to receive the link to the livestream of the special celebration of 100 years Murad Hassil on September 25th, 2022 <https://universel.nl/en/100-jaar-murad-hassil-livestream/> I am looking forward to your response. Warm regards, Elmer Koole Chairman Universel ‘Murad Hassil’ Foundation Program celebration 100 years “Murad Hassil” on Sunday September 25, 2022 This month marks 100 years since Hazrat Inayat Khan, bringer of the Sufi message of Love, Harmony and Beauty had a life changing experience in this special place: an experience like may be compared of that of Moses at the Burning Bush. He said nothing about it, but everything showed what an overwhelming experience this had been for him. He called the place “Murad Hassil” (= wish fulfilled).
