Eternal garden mysticism, history and politics at a south asian sufi center (2nd ed )
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : ERNST Carl
Drawing on rare Persian manuscripts preserved in medieval Sufi shrines, Carl Ernst reveals the mystical teachings of the Chishti Sufi order as taught by the ecstatic Shaykh Burhan al-Din Gharib (c.1337)and his disciples. His study engages provocatively with key issues, such as the basis of Islamic political power in South Asia, and seeks to clarify a diversity of historiographical approaches to the to the study of South Asian Sufism. Now in its second edition, with a preface detailing advances in the field of Sufism studies, this is an authoritative analysis of a controversial and fascinating subject.
