Intro
In 1911 (Apr-16), the Royal Musicians gave a presentation at San Francisco’s Vedanta Society temple (See Bowen) and in attendance was the person who would become Inayat Khan’s first and most important American disciple: Ada Martin. Born Ada Ginsberg in San Francisco in 1871 (See Bowen) Ada’s parents—both of whom were Russian Jewish immigrants—were of the intellectual type; her father was an artist and her mother, who came from a family of rabbis and Jewish mystics, a scholar. Ada herself, by her late teens, had begun studying religion, philosophy, and mysticism, and after marrying and bearing a daughter, the young mother also dedicated much of her free time to philanthropic activities. In the early 1900s, Ada’s interest in religion and mysticism intensified; she read more, sought out spiritual teachers, and, according to Samuel Lewis, her most well known follower, even joined Edouard Blitz’s Martinist Order, presumably by way of the Groupe Indépendent d’Etudes Esotériques (g.i.e.e.). She later changed her name to Rabia Martin.
In 1912 (Jul-12), the Sufic Order of America (School of Philosophy and Spiritual Culture) launched at 1504 O’Farrell st. SF. Public lectures will at 8PM. The first public lecture will be on “The Sufic Message” on Wednesday and then on Friday afternoon at 3PM on the topic of “Spirit and Matter”, this lecture will be by Mrs. R. Ada Martin (See also The San Francisco Examiner of
Sun, Jul 28, 1912 ·Page 75). These announcements continued until The San Francisco of Examiner Sun, Nov 10, 1912 ·Page 85.
In 1916 (Jun-19), his son Vilayat Inayat Khan was born.
In 1926, the San Francisco Bulletin of Sat, Feb 20, 1926 ·Page 9 reports that at the Sufic Temple at 1373 Post St, SF, near Gough, an address will be given by Inayat Kahn at 8PM (should be Inayat Khan). Inayat Kahn is listed as a world famous Author, Mystic and Seer.
