Hazrat Inayat Khan was born in Vadodara, Gujarat, India. He was the founder of The Sufi Order in the West in 1914 and teacher of Universal Sufism. He initially came to the West as a Northern Indian classical musician, having received the honorific "Tansen" from the Nizam of Hyderabad, but he soon turned to the introduction and transmission of Sufi thought and practice. Later, in 1923, the Sufi Order of the London period was dissolved into a new organization, formed under Swiss law, called the "International Sufi Movement". His message of divine unity focused on the themes of love, harmony and beauty.
