Drum Circle at Mendocino Sufi Camp 2008
led by Gayan Gregory Long

Pir Shabda Kahn writes: Dear Family, At the Mendocino Sufi Camp this year, as in previous years, we had a late night Dance/Cosmic Rave after Thursday night Zikr. This event allows our youth community to feel like part of camp is theirs and in their rhythm, that we can all join in, while for the rest of the week much of what they do is join us in our rhythm. This years dj was my son Solomon, who is a professional dj, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the 2 1/2 hours of continuous dance music. He recorded it as he played for us, and we have posted it for any of you to download and enjoy. Here is the link to the MP3 file ABOUT GETTING THIS FILE: Different web browsers have different behaviors when you click on a filename like the above. Someday I hope to write out a "how-to" for all the browsers there are, on at least the current versions of Windows and Mac-OS. Meanwhile, here's a plan: when you click on the link above, hopefully you will get a choice to open or save it. Choose 'open' -- but you may have to wait for the whole, very large file to land on your computer before it starts to play. Other tricks to try include right-clicking or ctrl-clicking on the link (the underlined word/s) and try the choices in the resulting menu. Nothing bad will happen.     -- Shaffee

---

It is in self-realization that the mystery of the whole of life is centered.
It is the remedy of all maladies; it is the secret of success in all walks of life;
it is a religion and more than a religion. And at this time when the whole world is upset,
the Sufi message conveys to the world the divine message. What is wrong with humanity today
is that it is not itself, and all the misery of the world is caused by this. Therefore
nothing can answer the need of humanity save this process of the sages and the wise
of all ages, which leads souls to self-realization.

    -- Hazrat Inayat Khan
