Foundation
While the history of this lineage starts long ago in other parts of the globe, Qadriya Sufi Fellowship of America began in the United States in 2011 when Dr. Jaysinha Shinde [Dr. T. G. Jilani] was given the khilafat (spiritual succession) of his teacher, Hazrat Allama Chaman Qadri (r.a.a.). Following in his footsteps of a life of spiritual service on the Qadriya Sufi path, QSFA began with its many service initiatives. Read about QSFA's past and present service here.
Affiliates
Today, the organization sponsors two main focus groups:
Ahl-e Qulub- a Sufi music group whose purpose is to spread light and peace through traditional and original Sufi litanies.
Mindfulness in Higher Education- a non-profit program providing scholarships and encouraging mindfulness on college campuses.
