Download or read book Among the Dervishes written by Omar Michael Burke and published by Octagon Press, Limited. This book was released on 1973 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O.M. Burke's first-hand account of his modern-day pilgrimage begins in a school built like a medieval rock fortress hidden in northern India. From there he takes the reader to monasteries where ancient lore is still taught, along the pilgrim road to forbidden Mecca, and into the heart and mind of Asia. Burke's experiences with living Sufis and their teachings, practices, and actions clearly dispel the notion of Sufism as a phenomenon of the past.
