Bestower of Light: A Portrait of Dr. Javad Nurbakh, Master of the Nimatullahi Sufi Order

Although numerous descriptions can be found of the lives and deeds of the early masters of Sufism, few opportunities exist to read about a contemporary sufi master dealing with all the complexities of modern life. Bestower of Light attempts to do just that by presenting an intimate portrait of the early life of Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh, who has been the Master of the Nimatullahi Sufi order for the last fifty years. Vividly recreating that life, this book provides insights into the nature and character of Dr. Nurbakhsh unavailable in other source.
