Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 A faqir (Arabic) is the same as a darvish (Persian; English " dervish " ). It means " poor " in the sense of spiritual poverty. It has been applied to Hindu religious mendicants or wandering ascetics but is properly applied only to practitioners of Sufism. _______ Get your free @ address at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
