Life and career

Шаблон:Neuro-linguistic programming Born in Montélimar,[2] Vichy France to a Dutch mother and the composer, Hidayat Inayat Khan, Inayat-Khan was brought up speaking Hindi, Dutch, English and French. His grandfather was Inayat Khan and his aunt was Noor Inayat Khan. Fazal Inayat-Khan is buried at the Oud Eik en Duinen cemetery in The Hague.

Inayat-Khan found work as a poet, psychotherapist and publisher.[2] Finding that his family name influenced people's perception of his work, he changed his name legally to Frank Kevlin.[3] As an early promoter of Neuro Linguistic Programming, he was the main motivating force behind the creation of the Association for Neuro Linguistic Programming.[4]

From 1968 to 1982 he was head of the Sufi Movement, a movement started by his grandfather and kept in the family.[5] He held that Sufism has three aspects: it is non-definitive, inclusive, and experiential –

  • non-definitive because the real exists without needing to be defined;
  • inclusive because it is found in all religions and accepts any form of worship or meditative practice that is appropriate to the moment;
  • experiential because it goes beyond theology and second-hand spiritual experience, accepting the possibility of direct revelation.
