Murshid Sam: Everliving

Conversations with Original Mureeds

with Pir Shabda Kahn, Sheikh Allaudin Mathieu, Khalif Omar M'Sai, Murshid Saul-uddin Barodofsky, Nasima Bernhardt, Marion Shirin, Sheikh Fazl Terry Peay, Doyle Wegner, Sheikh Farid Watson, Kolsoum Ginney, Yasmin Spiegel, Murshid Abraham Sussman, Amertat Fred Cohn, and others

The spiritual transmission of Murshid Sam is everliving and has infused the lives of many people with baraka and blessing. As all of his original students are approaching old age and death, we see merit in hearing from many of them as to how Murshid Sam has lived, and still lives in their breath, in their hearts, in their lives.

In 1971, after Murshid left his body, some of his students saw him in a vision in the Merkaba, the flaming chariot riding eternally through the heavens.

This song, “Murshid Rides” composed by Abraham for the Sufi Choir in
1971,  expresses that vision.
