About the Author

Nargis Jessie Dowland (1866-1953) was an Nargis-Dowland-webearly editor and publisher of the works of her Sufi teacher, Hazrat Inayat Khan. While maintaining a high level of worldly responsibility, as the manager of the Polygon House Hotel in Southampton, United Kingdom, and also as National Representative of the Sufi Movement in England (1921-1933), she found a way to live a deeply mystical inner life through her profound connection with her teacher.
