OSTADELAHI-INDEPTH is created to analyze and explore the system of thought of Ostad Elahi (1895-1974)—a contemporary thinker, jurist, and musician—from a historical, philosophical, and metaphysical perspective. Featuring a series of didactic modules and educational tools, INDEPTH invites deeper reflection on a variety of questions, case studies, and exercises aimed at better understanding the many facets and dimensions of Ostad Elahi's written works. The contents of INDEPTH do not constitute the actual teachings of Ostad Elahi, nor are they intended as a substitute for his published works. Any discrepancies or conflicts between the contents of this site and the published works of Ostad Elahi should therefore be resolved in favor of the latter. INDEPTH does not confer any academic certificates, degrees, or diplomas on those who enroll in and complete the various modules.
