The Abode of the Message, founded by Pir
Vilayat Inayat Khan, celebrated its twenty-fifth year in June
of 2000. Our community continues to evolve as a residence
for persons who stay over periods of years and who either live
in our main complex or have built houses on the acreage; a place
to sojourn for several months as a community member; or as a school
for Sufi Studies. The community embraces such diverse activities
as the those listed to the right.

Pir
Zia Inayat Khan, recently initiated as the Pir for the
Sufi Order International, resides at The Abode of the Message,
and currently offers a series of presentations on Sundays in addition
to working with the Sufi Order
International Thursday evening classes.
The Sufi Path has been called "The Religion of the Heart"
by Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan, whose teachings
are the continuing inspiration of our community and continue to
guide our studies. One may explore that path at the Abode of the
Message.
Visitors are an important part of the essence of the Abode of
the Message. Everyone is invited to share the Universal Worship
on Sunday or just to walk the grounds. Call and let us know you
are
coming and if you want a guide. People who wish to spend the night
or longer must call in advance for a reservation. This is absolutely
necessary as there are times of the year when a program will be
so large that all of our guest rooms are used. Overnight rates
vary from $25 to $60 per day with meals, depending on the type
of accommodation. There are several days of the week when meals
are not served, therefore one must consult with our programs office
for current information and reservations: programsoffice@theabode.net
or (518) 794-8095.
