ABSTRACT
Sufism advocate humane and global outlook and regarded humanity as a brotherhood came to India from its Arabic Turkic and Persian homes. Instead of remaining confined to places and mosques it spread out all over India establishing regional centres and Dargahs. A Sufi is a traveller on the road that leads to God-consciousness by way of the extinction of all that appears to exist, subjectively or objectively. Dara Shikoh was highly influenced with the mystic ideas and their teaching. He was attracted with the teaching of Shaikh Muhibullah Allahabadi and seek his guidance in several occasion. The Sufis valued the multicultural and multilingual pattern of Indian society, or we can also say in the words of Rabindranath Tagore ‘set at naught all differences of God.” The earliest known Muslim presence in Bengal is known as a group of immigrants Sufis.
