Sheikh Taoshobuddha

SPIRITUALITY IS BEYOND ALL HUMAN BONDAG

AND CONFLICTS!!

Tasawwuf is the very essence of Sufism and t

existence. Evolving out of Islam it has now becom

the inner life of every aspirant. Islam centers

pillars - Shariat , Hadith, Tariqat , and Tasaw

Shariat and Hadith form the part of the outer

religion? And Tariqat and Tasawwuf form the i

DUALITIES

at of man’s

e the part of

around four

uf . Of these

body of the

nner core of



The Holy Prophet. Both Tariqat and Tasawwuf are connected

to the nisbet of the Holy Prophet. Tariqat teaches you the way

to nisbet . And Tasawwuf prepares you for inner serenity, andfor the continuation of the way of nisbet. In its essence tariqat

and Tasawwuf are part of each one of you. Tariqat prepares

you along the way and Tasawwuf preserves your awareness.

This present work is the combination of the Kalam of Prof

Rattan Lal Hangloo and other sheikhs and composers like

Taoshobuddha, Mirza Ghalib, Amir Khushro, JalaluddinRumi, Brij Narian Chakbas, Mahadevi Verma, Naqshbandi

Sufi Ramchandra, Naqshbandi Sufi Brij Mohan Lal, etc. The

essence of these compositions is blended with the Naqshbandi

Nisbat to create Maraqba.

Prof Hangloo’s compositions are taken from the published and

unpublished works of the Kashmiri – born Professor Rattan

Lal Hangloo, Head of the Department of History HyderabadCentral University, Hyderabad in India, viz., ‘Hasrate’ and

‘Mere Khayal’ published by Millennium Publishers of

Hyderabad in India.

It was just a coincidence that while sitting with Prof Hangloo

one evening that the foundation of this work was laid. No effort

was made in the past for such a venture. It is for the first timethat this approach is used to create the Essence of Sufism by

this union between Sufi poetry and the energy field of a master

to create ‘Maraqba’ . And thus allow the journey of

transcendence. This is way of the masters so that the aspirant

or ‘saliq’ can continue his inward journey. This work will be

remembered as a new beginning now and in times to come.

Beginning of a new era in Sufism!

LET HIM SING HIS SONG ETERNAL THROUGH MY LIPS

AND LET ME ECHO HIS ETERNAL SERENITY ERELONG!!

“This esoteric dimension is in all religions and in Islam it

originated with the tradition of Prophet Muhammad.

Mysticism in Islam is termed as Sufism. The mystic is a Sufi.

Fatima Bint (608-633A.H) is one of the first women Sufis we

trace in Islamic mysticism. There is an interesting transition

that you notice in her personality. While mourning the Death of

Prophet Mohammad she said, “It is not surprising that whoever

catches the fragrance of Muhammad’s tomb will never know

another perfume. Destiny injured me with bereavement so

sorrowful, and so dark, that if it had fallen on the days they

would have been turned into eternal nights.”

Her expression of this utterance is Tasawuf. Poetry andlove (Ishq-i-Haqiqi ) are the important languages of

expression in Tasawuf.

While traversing on the path for attaining the status of Sufi

when the self undergoes certain transitions it acquires an

ecstasy and the expression of that ecstasy is Tasawuf .



The Essence of Sufism has come at very crucial time as we

live in a deeply divided world caused by misconception of

religions, particularly of Islam. September 11 changed the

history of Islam or at least the view of the western world on

Islam changed. The depth and beauty of these compositions

and the meditative insights of the writer shows how all

religions are in search of the true meaning of love. It is

humanity’s deepest longing for God.

While acknowledging works of such a nature which is not onlyinnovative instead comes like a fresh breeze of awakening and

insights into the message of the masters I urge Taoshobuddha

to create more such meditations around the message of

masters like Nanak, Jesus, Rumi, Buddha etc. And I can assure

you that with the insights and command of language

Taoshobuddha will certainly do this. This is an effort to bring

more serenity and harmony within. And certainly the light will

reflect in the outer world.

With love in the name of this is OMNIPRESENT, OMNISCIENT,

and OMNILOVING ONE!”
