Dear Sulūk Press Community,
We hope that you may find peace and tranquil moments during what is a busy month for many, and that you will be able to share valuable, rewarding time with friends and family. We would also love to share something of value with you, so we have included some of our favorite books for gifting, or for your own enjoyment, below. You will also find the details here on the pre-order for our January release of the new edition of Gayan Vadan Nirtan.
Pre-orders Open for Gayan Vadan Nirtan
We are now opening pre-orders for the revised and expanded edition of Gayan Vadan Nirtan, which will be released in January. This popular black-and-gold hardcover volume has been out of print for several years, and we are delighted to be bringing it back. This version includes previously omitted sayings that new archival research has authenticated. The sayings are being minimally edited for inclusive language, following the practices carried out in the Centennial Edition Sufi Message volumes. Order now and be among the first to receive this volume once it ships!
A special pre-order price of $30 is available until December 31; the eventual price of the book may be higher. If other books are ordered at the same time, they will ship together in January.
Awakening: A Sufi Experience
In case you missed it, Sulūk Press has acquired inventory of this classic introductory text by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan in hardcover. This book is the perfect introduction to the way of the dervishes—as well as a doorway to a direct experience of the Divine. Pir Vilayat takes us step by step toward a new form of consciousness, integrating both age-old and more recent Sufi meditations into our contemporary understanding of the world. He explores the Sufi idea of “awakening”—the ability to view the world from an increasingly broad perspective so as to move beyond the routine concerns of our day-to-day lives.
