The basis of our spiritual practice is continual remembrance of the Eternal Beloved (God) in thought, word and deed. Our guiding principles are firmly rooted in the Sufi tradition of chivalry, where relations among members of society are based on the consideration of others before oneself.<\/p>\n<p>Under the guidance of Dr Alireza Nurbakhsh, present master of the Nimatullahi Order, the order has established charitable projects at each of its centers around the world to address the humanitarian needs of our respective communities.
