Samuel L. Lewis also known as Murshid Samuel Lewis and Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti (October 18, 1896 – January 15, 1971) was an American mystic and horticultural scientist.
He, Murshid Sam founded the Sufi Ruhaniat International, a branch of the Chishtia Sufi lineage.
After his lifetime spiritual study with teachers East and West, primarily Inayat Khan and Nyogen Senzaki, Lewis was recognized simultaneously as a Zen master and Sufi murshid (senior teacher) by Eastern representatives of the two traditions.
He is also the co-founder of the Christian mystical order called the Holy Order of Mans.
His early interest in international seed exchange and organic agriculture also established him as one of the pioneers of green spirituality.
His most enduring legacy may be the creation of the Dances of Universal Peace, an early interspiritual practice that has spread around the world in the 50 years since his passing.
Nowadays, Pir Shabda Khan is continuing this of his teaching of the Dances of Universal Peace globally, is also introducing this Dance as a Sufi Ritual.
