Raza Rumi talks to Dr Mahmood Kazmi, the President of Auliya Council North America (ACNA). Dr Kazmi is dedicated to understanding and implementing the message of the Sufis of the Indian Subcontinent, primarily oneness, love, equality and justice through various traditions particularly sam’aa. Dr Kazmi is a medical practitioner based in Bronx, New York. ACNA, an organization consisting of like-minded individuals with a common goal in mind, has been working to advance the legacy of the spiritual, cultural and social richness bequeathed by the Muslim Auliya, the (Sufi teachers) of the Indian Subcontinent. With the aim of creating an atmosphere of lived Sufism, inspired by the idea of a personal and communal connection with God. The organization has worked to establish sama’a (qawwali), and has arranged events to celebrate the lives of Sufi saints, their contribution to society, and the role they played in the history of South Asia to encourage cultural syncretism. These and other related activities will inculcate the cultural traditions of Islamic spirituality in keeping with modern times in a way that will keep our coming generations in contact with their roots and enrich their life experiences. They have recently acquired a space in Mahopac, New York where Auliya Council Center has been established housing Azakhana Hussaniya Sajjadiya and Khanqah e Chishtiya Faridiya, langar khana kitchen, sam’aa halls, gathering spaces and offices. The building is well-equipped for large gatherings where all our activities are conducted. With the over-arching aspirations of the Sufi saints in mind, ACNA hopes to nurture diversity, inter-faith exchanges, and follows the path shown by Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti.
