Sufi Saint Hazrat Mir Syed Ali Hamdani uniting one and all

Srinagar, Oct 21 (ANI): The socio-cultural ethos of Kashmir or Kashmiriyat is steeped in a tradition of religious tolerance, social harmony and brotherhood. It was influenced by the advent of Sufism in Kashmir in early 14th century. Sufi saints were both popular and influential because they identified themselves with established traditions and never opposed the blending of different religious customs, practices and beliefs. As a result, they attracted many followers. Even today, several Sufi shrines dot the state, drawing people from different religions in large numbers. The shrine of Hazrat Mir Syed Ali Hamdani in Srinagar attracts people from different communities. Legend has it that the saint was a mystic who devoted his entire life for the betterment of mankind and preached communal harmony. His message has been internalised and is visible in the form of devotees from different faiths that come here from near and far throughout the year to pay homage to the saint. The shrine is flocked by devotees who visit it in the hope that their wishes will be fulfilled here. Oct 21, 2013
