An Overview of Sufism

[fenrisx]

Sai Baba of Shirdi..... our family has felt His immense grace multiple times and still do. Nowadays, mainly Hindus only go to Shridi; I think only miniscule amout of muslim population visits there although He said that He is Hindu as well as Muslim. I do not even know if the Indian muslims (Ulema) recognize Him as a Sufi Saint or not.

Regards,

Is he part of the Chisti lineage?

I am currently reading a most wonderful book by a Sufi, Hazrat Inayat Khan - The ART of BEING and BECOMING.

Pure and beautiful wisdom.

I have learnt so much in just a few chapters.

Namaste,
