The Sufi Message
The Sufi Message is a call to unite in understanding and knowledge. It is the echo of the same Divine Message which has always come and always will come to enlighten humanity.
The Cape Town Temple
The Sirkar Sufi Centre, a four-frequency icosahedron geodesic dome temple, was designed by Heinrich Kuhn. He chose to do it as part of his university thesis.
The brief for the Sufi Temple in Newlands, Cape Town, was inspired by the mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan, who introduced Sufism into the western world and who believed that everything first conceived on the spiritual plane is only brought to completion when manifested on the physical plane and that the essence of the Sufi Message is the awareness of the “Divine in Man”.
Podcasts
The sermons delivered at our Universal Worship Services form part of our podcasts. These simple non-sectarian, devotional services highlight the unity of religious ideals and are based upon the Sufi Message brought to the Western world in 1910 by Hazrat Inayat Khan.
