What is Saloko Nano?

  • Saloko Nano literally means a gathering of unlimited souls in an eternal context. It is a well known and respected composition of 500 verses written by Pir Hasan Kabiruddin at a very young age over a period of 6 months. He wrote the verses in Khojki script on a piece of cloth woven by himself.
  • The verses deal with a comprehensive range of spiritual themes - struggle for liberation of the individual soul, religious practices and the relationship between a Murid and the Murshid.
  • Overall, it is an expression of a timeless vision of hope for an individual soul bound to the clogging and hampering of this illusory material existence; to rise beyond it into eternity where it will unite with souls from other periods and ages in a joyous and festive manner, and merge with the ultimate reality as an eternal homecoming.
  • Upon completion of the verses, Pir Hasan Kabiruddin presented them to the 30th Imam Mawlana Islam Shah by folding the cloth in the form of a turban. He was bestowed with the title and responsibities of a Pir at that meeting.
  • The practical importance of these verses in Ismaili tradition is attested to by the fact that they are recited daily in Jamatkhanas before the first prayer. Indeed Mawlana Sultan Muhammed Shah had advised many murids to recite the entire Saloko Nano in times of difficulties and crises.
