Memories of Murshid SAM

 

DUPNA made arrangements with Pir Shabda Kahn of the Sufi Ruhaniat International to record an evening of stories about Murshid SAM as told by several of his original students (Pir Shabda, Murshid Wali Ali Meyer, Murshida Taj Inayat and Murshida Fatima Lassar), during the 2010-2011 Sufi Sesshin in northern California. The January Regional Telecon included recordings from that precious evening, interspersed with additional stories told by Sara Morgan and others.
