[edit] Birth
The only son of Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha and Mah-Talat Etemad Moghadam (Angha), Nader Angha was born in Tehran, Iran, on Sunday noon, September 30, 1945, which also coincided with one of the most holiest days for Muslims, Eid al-Qurban, which celebrates the Hajj.
[edit] Appointment of Oveyssi-Shahmaghsoudi Leadership
Known to his students as Hazrat Pir, he succeeded his father, Molana-al-Moazam Hazrat Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha in 1980.
Hazrat Pir's mother, Mah-Talat Etemad Moghadam, writes the following about her son in her book "From the Prophet Mohammad to the Great Sufi Mir Ghotbeddin Mohammad, which traces the unbroken succession of the Sufi Masters in the Oveyssi order:
“In the year one thousand three hundred and forty-nine S.H. [ September 4, 1970], in one of the guiding sessions held in the presence of Hazrat Shah Maghsoud, with the attendance of a great number of devotees; and with the confirmation of Benevolent Allah, he was blessed by receiving the Robe of Faqr from the hand of his father. Hazrat Shah Maghsoud, with a speech, handed over his Robe to him.”
From the date of his appointment, Hazrat Pir assumed his responsibilities in carrying on the duties entrusted to him, which included the design and supervision of the construction of the Sufi center in Sufi-Abad of Karaj (close to Tehran). Dr. Ronald Grisell, who travelled to Iran in 1983 sought and was granted permission to visit the Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi Shahmaghsoudi Oveyssi School at Sufi-Abad of Karaj. He has provided a detailed description of the center, and devoted a chapter of his book entitled “Sufism” to “The Oveyssi School of Sufism at Karaj.”
1979 marked the year that Hazrat Pir moved to the United States with his father. From there forward, he began to execute his father's wish to expand Sufi teachings to a wider audience. In a short period of time and under the direct guidance and supervision of Hazrat Shah Maghsoud, the teaching sessions started in many states of the United States. After the passing away of Hazrat Shah Maghsoud, the duty of propagating the Oveyssi-Shahmaghsoudi path of Islamic Sufism across the world rests on his shoulders.
The Oveyssi-Shahmaghsoudi order now has over 500,000 students who attend centers located throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia under his leadership.
Hazrat Pir has been a guest lecturer at the Sorbonne, Oxford University, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, University of Georgia, and many other institutions worldwide.[1]
