The Sufi Way

Language: English, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Farsi, Sindhi
This immersive presentation weaves together stories and songs to bring alive the thought, practice, and philosophy of Sufism. Drawing on the poetry and lives of Rumi, Bulleshah, Amir Khusro, Shah Latif, and others, the performance asks: what does it really mean to walk the path of the heart, to lose oneself in love?
Each story leads into a song: Rumi’s love for Shams Tabrizi and his haunting verses for him; Khusro and his murshid, Nizamuddin Auliya, and the beloved Chhap Tilak; Bulleshah winning back the favour of his murshid and composing Tere Ishq Nachaya. Moving through these and other lives and songs, the session offers a glimpse into the world of the Sufi path: love, abandon, humility, joy, intoxication, and non-self.
