Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Dear Sirs, Namaskaar Thanks for your deep insights regarding Kashmir Saivism.I am really indebted to all the experts who have so kindly responded to my queries. I am a Muslim from India having a deep interest in Vedanta and Sufism,a spritual dimension of my religion.Unfortunately,Sufism is being neglected by the Muslim fundamentalists who are bent upon proving it as a borrowed tradition.This is absolutely wrong because the Sufis have themselves demonstrated that Sufism is strictly based on the Koran and the Hadiths(shrutis).Fortunately,a great number of Muslims still think Sufism to be an integral part of Islam.What attracts me towards Advaita Vedanta is its remarkable similarity with Sufism, though the differences of expression might be there.I hold Sankara Bhagvatpada in very high esteem.I am deeply enamoured of his work.Also,Bhagvan Maharshi is a great Sufi of modern times.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Namaste Sri Tariq: I appreciate your observations regarding the similarity between 'sulfism' and 'advaitam.' One of the remarkable similarity between the two comes from the belief - 'the divine within one's heart can only be recoginized with mind purification.' I believe that vedantic philosophy contains the universal truth of Divine Presence within and your remarks become very relevant in this context. For those who want to know about 'Sulfism,' the information is available at Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.com) and also at the International Association of Sulfism: http://ias.org/publications/sufismjournal.html With my warmest regards, Ram Chandran advaitin , " ashfaqtariq " <ashfaqtariq wrote: > > Dear Sirs, > > Namaskaar > > What > attracts me towards Advaita Vedanta is its remarkable similarity with > Sufism, though the differences of expression might be there.I hold > Sankara Bhagvatpada in very high esteem.I am deeply enamoured of his > work.Also,Bhagvan Maharshi is a great Sufi of modern times. > > Tariq > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
