A Beautiful Princess

[From the French language press]:

Il était une fois, dans la "Maison des bénédictions", une belle princesse, prénommée Noor (lumière) et parée de tous les dons. Hazrat, son père, venu des Indes, descendant d'un sultan de Mysore, lui enseignait la sagesse du soufisme, courant mystique de l'islam, dont il était un maître.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess, named Noor (light), who lived in the "Blessed Home (Fazal Manzil)", and who was endowed will all kinds of gifts. Hazrat, her father, came from India and was a descendant of a Sultan of Mysore. He taught her the wisdom of Sufism, the mystic current of Islam of which he was a master.

The article is the review of a broadcasting on the life of Princess Noor Inayat Khan, the daughter of Hazrat Inayat Khan, founder of Universal Sufism. She was a British agent in Nazi-occupied France and was awarded the George Cross by the British government while the French honoured her with the Croix de Guerre.

She had two brothers, who both became musicians and Sufi masters: Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and Pir Hidayat Inayat Khan.
