Don't Search, Celebrate!
Moineddin Jablonski inspired the publication of Don't Search, Celebrate! The Collected Poems of Mansur Johnson. Here's how. In a 1984 letter to Allaudin William Mathieu, which was published in 2016, Moineddin wrote: "I recall fond memories of Mansur Johnson, speaking of drawing together the loose ends of our many journeys, exiles, prodigalities, what have you. Back in the mid-sixties, he wrote some prodigious acid poems, i.e. "Blue Monday," "Ithaca," and others. They were all gathered under the title DON'T SEARCH, CELEBRATE! "As intoxicating as this dictum was to us 'realized' acid heads, the sobriety of Muhammad's "We have not known Thee as Thou shouldst be known" has proven to be a maturer...

Murshid
""Dear Reader: Prepare for a unique adventure of spiritual discovery and transformation...you have before you a wild, bucking-bronco of a ride. Hold on!" -from the foreward by Neil Douglas-Klotz, author of THE SUFI BOOK OF LIFE Otis B. Johnson was a young college professor of English in the 1960s when he joined the exodus of hippies to California to meet someone his friend said could take them where they wanted to go the fastest. Where did they want to go? They wanted to meet the divinity, obtain God-consciousness, get enlightened, find love, experience samadhi, in short-they didn't know for sure. What happened? Otis B. Johnson became Mansur Johnson during a three year encounter with the world's first Guru-Roshi-Murshid, Samuel L. Lewis. Murshid shows in intimate detail how Murshid, the first Western-born Sufi teacher, Zen master, and practitioner of Indian cosmic metaphysics, accomplished his life's purpose"--Back cover.
The Dervishes of the North
The thirteenth-century Muslim mystic and poet Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207–1273) is a popular spiritual icon. His legacy is sustained within the mystical and religious practice of Sufism, particularly through renditions of his poetry, music, and the meditation practice of whirling. In Canada, practices associated with Rumi have become ubiquitous in public spaces, such as museums, art galleries, and theatre halls, just as they continue to inform sacred ritual among Sufi communities. The Dervishes of the North explores what practices associated with Rumi in public and private spaces tell us about Sufism and spirituality, including sacred, cultural, and artistic expressions in the Canadian context...

South Asian Sufis
Often described as the soul of Islam, Sufism is one of the most interesting yet least known facet of this global religion. Sufism is the softer more inclusive and mystical form of Islam. Although militant Islamists dominate the headlines, the Sufi ideal has captured the imagination of many. Nowhere in the world is the handprint of Sufism more observable than South Asia, which has the largest Muslim population of the world, but also the greatest concentration of Sufis. This book examines active Sufi communities in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh that shed light on the devotion, and deviation, and destiny of Sufism in South Asia. Drawn from extensive work by indigenous and international scholars, this ethnographical study explores the impact of Iran on the development of Sufi thought and practice further east, and also discusses Sufism in diaspora in such contexts as the UK and North America and Iran's influence on South Asian Sufism.
