Hazrat Inayat Khan was quite expert in playing the traditional Indian music instrument, `Veena`, thanks to the fact that he was born in a musician`s family. He was quite popular among the music lovers all over India and his popularity provoked him to organize numerous concerts throughout India, at a very young age of eighteen. His main objective behind organizing the concerts was to revive the older folk songs and this also enhanced his fame a lot. A number of Rajas and Emperors invited him in their own courts for his wonderful understanding of music and he began to seek spiritual guidance, in the meantime.

While seeking spiritual guidance and also searching for getting lessons about Indian philosophy, Hazrat Inayat Khan chose Mohammed Abu Hassan as his revered teacher and he also spent a long period of four years with him. Inayat reached a certain level of realization during this period and God became a reality in his life, through that experience. After completing his spiritual lessons, his Guru instructed him to spread his thoughts and knowledge all over the world and to do this, he went on a world tour. He first went to America and later reached Europe for disseminating the message of oneness of all religions and he also felt that prayer and meditation are the most important techniques that are necessary for developing high consciousness among the human beings. He passed away due to influenza in New Delhi in the year of 1927.
