With the arrival of Islam in India, a wide range of political, social and cultural exchanges developed with the emergence of great mystical figures like Hujvere and Khwaja Moinuddin Chisty. The spread of the sufistic ideas of famous and great Iranian literary personalities such as Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, Firdousi, Abu Rahyan Al Beruini, Hafiz and Sa’adi had a tremendous impact on the mystical and literary fields of these two countries. Indo-Iranian Sufism is the soul of Persian and Urdu poetry. Sufis have played an important role in bridging the distance between different traditions and communities and sufism has emerged as a primary vehicle for intellectual advancement of Culture in societies. Mysticism and Sufis have created the strong base of coordination and affection between the two nations throughout history utilizing the spiritual potentialities concealed in Indo- Iranian cultures. Mystic and Sufi migrants of Iran and the impact of Indian ideology resulted in the formation of Islamic Mysticism. Today world is passing through a very delicate phase and is witnessing a cultural identity crisis. Unfortunately modern life is devoid of spirituality. So, it is essential that education should focus on spirituality and morality. A study of great men’s works and thoughts are sufficient to enlighten the soul of all readers who are mostly duty bound to spread their fragrance in the lives of modern men. The former President of India late Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma has mentioned on 11th November 1993 that “Today peace, understanding, friendship and cooperation as well as people and communities within the nations comprise a vital need of human kind. The message of oneness and services rendered by sufi saints and thinkers obviously have great contemporary relevance.” Spirituality is an open system, it is not limited by space and time. Since it is a journey to the hidden reality, it takes man everywhere: the inner and the outer and makes no distinction between the sacred and secular, the high and the low, the learned and the illiterate, the being and non being, the form and the formless and so on. 3 Cultural Dialogue Vol. 2, November – January 2021 Religion without spirituality especially in its social dimension, tends to be a system of oppression and exploitation. Spirituality is the soul and religion is the body with different shapes, color and practices. In India and Iran, mysticism and spirituality have always gone together. Sufis believe that true worship is not in the performance of rituals but true worship is in the service of humanity. Saa’di says: “Ibadat bajuz Khidmat-e-Khalq neest Ba tasbih-o-Sajjadah-o-dalq neest” Without service of humanity, prayer means nothing It is not counting beads, sitting on the mat or wearing tatters. Sufism from its inception attracted the attention of the masses as well as the intellectuals and men of letters alike. It was under the impact of Sufism that the Iranian and Indian poets and writers as well as the religious reformers discarded all kinds of fanaticism. The former President of Indian Council of Cultural Relations late Mr. Vasant Sathe said in the International Conference on Sufism in 1993 that “Sufism involves mans relationship with man as well as mans relationship with Almighty. Those who believe in Wahdat-ul-Wujud also believe that the only real existence is Almighty who is their for Wajib-ul-Wujud. All other beings are shadows of the creations.” Sufism leads to inner purification, self consciousness realization of truth, religious tolerance, unity in diversity, love for all without distinction of caste and creed. Sufism has made a remarkable mark on socio- cultural cum religious history of the world in general and of India in particular. India has contributed the largest number of manuscripts, commentaries and printed editions of Mathnavi. No other literature on mysticism is so loved and studied as Mathanavi-e-Manavi, the work of Jalaluddin Rumi which inspires love and purify the soul. The elements of love and spiritualism in Rumi’s work made him popular in the world of mysticism and as a result most of his poetic compositions have been translated into many languages. The mystical philosophy of love and universal brotherhood as emphasized by Rumi can serve humanity in modern times as a beacon of light and through mutual understanding can initiate well being among various nations of the world. 4 Cultural Dialogue Vol. 2, November – January 2021 Undoubtedly, Sufism gave a great impetus to the Bhakti movement and have influenced the language used by the Bhakti leaders of Northern India. Bhakti and Sufism both are spiritual movements. Both played a significant role in diminishing the hatred and difference between man and man. The divine love is the essence of all religions. It is termed as Prem and Bhakti in Hinduism and Ishqi- Ilahi or divine love in Sufism. We take the privilege of presenting the second volume of the english quarterly Journal Cultural Dialogue on Spirituality and Mysticism with our humble efforts and helping hands of scholars who have contributed their scholarly articles. The academic initiative of Prof. S.R. Bhatt, Chairman of Indian Philosophy Congress and Prof. Arif Ayyubi, International Students Advisor, University of Lucknow is really appreciable.

    Stéphane A. Dudoignon « Le gnosticisme pour mémoire ? Déplacements de population, histoire locale et processus hagiographiques en Asie centrale postsoviétique » in A. Caiozzo & J.-C. Duchène, éd., La Mongolie dans son espace régional : Entre mémoire et marques de territoires, des mondes anciens à nos jours Valenciennes : Presses de l’Université de Valenciennes, 2020 : 261–93, ill. Le rôle d’une variété de marquages territoriaux, notamment culturels (sanctuaires et lieux de mémoire, en particulier) en Asie centrale est au cœur de recherches saisonnières que l’auteur de ces lignes a entreprises ou dirigées à partir de l’automne 2004 1. Individuels et collectifs, ces travaux visaient à promouvoir une géohistoire de l’islam en général, du soufisme spécialement, et de ses sociabilités gnostiques, en Asie centrale soviétique et actuelle. Cette recherche était axée sur l’étude des manières dont les pratiques et identités religieuses s’inscrivent dans une grande diversité de territoires, dans un contexte marqué, depuis le lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, par les impacts des répressions des années 1920 et 30, puis des déplacements massifs de populations des années 40-50 et par la création de nouvelles communautés territorialisées dans le cadre du système des fermes collectives. En grande partie inédite, interrompue un temps après 2011 par la dégradation du climat politique dans la région et une prévention générale envers la recherche internationale, ce travail s’est focalisé sur l’analyse d’un ensemble de processus hagiographiques dont le rapide développement a pu être observé dans cette partie du monde à partir de la chute du Mur, en novembre 1989, puis la dissolution de l’URSS deux ans plus tard.

    American International Journal of Available online at http://www.iasir.net Research in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences ISSN (Print): 2328-3734, ISSN (Online): 2328-3696, ISSN (CD-ROM): 2328-3688 AIJRHASS is a refereed, indexed, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and open access journal published by International Association of Scientific Innovation and Research (IASIR), USA (An Association Unifying the Sciences, Engineering, and Applied Research) Religion and Politics: A Study of Sayyid Ali Hamdani Umar Ahmad Khanday Research Scholar Department of History Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA. Abstract: Sayyid Ali Hamdani was a multi-dimensional personality. He belonged to Kubraviya order of Sufis. When he landed in Kashmir, the ethical quality was at its most reduced ebb. The pervasiveness of standings and sub-stations in the general public, misuse of ordinary citizens because of conventional Brahmins, had rendered normal individuals defenceless. Individuals were prepared to welcome any change in the framework. Under his effect, the impact of Brahmans declined. His Khanqah was available to all from the Sultan to poor Hindu. He had no reservation in counselling rulers and nobility because he saw that their policies were key to the welfare of people. He was a social reformer other than being a preacher.Among the 700 devotees, who went with him to Kashmir were men of Arts and Crafts Crafts, as a result, several industries of Hamadan (Iran) became well introduced in Kashmir. Key Words: Khanqah, Rights,Ruler, Sayyid Ali Hamdani,Sufi ,Zakhiratul-Muluk I. Introduction Sayyid Ali Hamdani, who belonged to the family of Alawi Sayyids1 was born on 12 Rajab, 714/22 October, 1314 at Hamdan2.

  • Why Was the Story of Arash-I Kamangir Excluded from the Shahnameh?” Iran Nameh, 29:2 (Summer 2014), 42-63
    Saghi Gazerani, “Why Was the Story of Arash-i Kamangir Excluded from the Shahnameh?” Iran Nameh, 29:2 (Summer 2014), 42-63. Why Was the Story of Arash-i Kamangir Excluded from the Shahnameh?* Saghi Gazerani Independent Scholar In contemporary Iranian culture, the legendary figure of Arash-i Kamangir, or Arash the Archer, is known and celebrated as the national hero par excellence. After all, he is willing to lay down his life by infusing his arrow with his life force in order to restore territories usurped by Iran’s enemy. As the legend goes, he does so in order to have the arrow move to the farthest point possible for the stretch of land over which the arrow flies shall be included in Iranshahr proper. The story without a doubt was popular for many centuries, but during the various upheavals of the twentieth century, the story of Arash the Archer was invoked, and in the hands of artists with various political leanings his figure was imbued with layers reflecting the respective artist’s ideological presuppositions.1 The most famous of modern renditions of Arash’s legend is Siavash Kasra’i’s narrative poem named after its protagonist. An excerpt of Kasra’i’s rendition of Arash’s story *For further discussion of this issue please see my ture,” www.iranicaonline.org (accessed March 3, forthcoming work, On the Margins of Historiog- 2014).

    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 6 No 5 S1 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy September 2015 The Very Foundation, Inauguration and Expanse of Sufism: A Historical Study Dr. Abdul Zahoor Khan Ph.D., Head, Department of History & Pakistan Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty Block #I, First Floor, New Campus Sector#H-10, International Islamic University, Islamabad-Pakistan; Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Muhammad Tanveer Jamal Chishti Ph.D. Scholar-History, Department of History &Pakistan Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty Block #I, First Floor New Campus, Sector#H-10, International Islamic University, Islamabad-Pakistan; Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n5s1p382 Abstract Sufism has been one of the key sources to disseminate the esoteric aspects of the message of Islam throughout the world. The Sufis of Islam claim to present the real and original picture of Islam especially emphasizing the purity of heart and inner-self. To realize this objective they resort to various practices including meditation, love with fellow beings and service for mankind. The present article tries to explore the origin of Sufism, its gradual evolution and culmination. It also seeks to shed light on the characteristics of the Sufis of the different periods or generations as well as their ideas and approaches. Moreover, it discusses the contributions of the different Sufi Shaykhs as well as Sufi orders or Silsilahs, Qadiriyya, Suhrwardiyya, Naqshbandiyya, Kubraviyya and particularly the Chishtiyya. Keywords: Sufism, Qadiriyya, Chishtiyya, Suhrwardiyya, Kubraviyya-Shattariyya, Naqshbandiyya, Tasawwuf. 1. Introduction Sufism or Tasawwuf is the soul of religion.
