On September 13, 2010, we will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of Hejirat Day, which is the day the founder of our order, Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan left India to bring the Sufi Message to the West. To commemorate the event we invite you to join us for an evening of music, remembrance and fellowship. The event will feature a vina concert (the instrument Murshid played) and other activities to celebrate the occasion.

As we plan on serving Indian treats, it is important to know how many are planning to attend, so that we can plan appropriately. Please e-mail Amina (amina [at] soitoronto [dot] org) if you are planning on joining us. Please visit the event's webpage for more information.
