Pir-o-Murshid Ali Khan

Pir-o-Murshid Ali Khan

from 1948 until 1958.

Pir-o-Murshid Ali Khan was a second cousin of the famous Sufi Master Hazrat Inayat Khan, he was also the grandson of Inayat's grandfather, and therefore according to Indian custom he was considered a brother.

Ali Khan apart from Indian classical music, received training in European music, and played such brass instruments as the trumpet and trombone. To these he added the bagpipes. As a young man, he was also keenly interested in physical culture and wrestling, which, in the words of the Biography of Hazrat Inayat Khan, "prepared him to become an iron wall to stand in support of Inayat against many opposing influences."

In the West, Ali Khan continued his musical career, receiving training in operatic singing from Mme. Emma Nevada, who recognized great potential in his tenor voice, and even appearing on the stage of La Scala.

Ali Khan possessed a natural gift of healing, a gift which was developed immeasurably through his deep devotion. There are many stories of friends and mureeds receiving help from his touch, his glance, or by prayers and absent healing, but in reply to their thanks he would humbly point to heaven and say, 'Not I. God.'
