How Sufi Circuit is flourished in Bihar ?

Posted: 30 Jan 2012 09:12 PM PST

Sufi Circuit in BiharSufism has a very old bond with Bihar.  The Qadri order and  Suharwardia order have their origins in Bihar. There are hundreds of holy places associated with Sufi saints in Bihar where Sufism is still a thriving tradition and many important Sufi centres still continue to flourish. Here we present few of them

Manersharif
About 32 km west of Patna along the Patna-Ara highway, Manersharif in Patna district is the most important and oldest centre of Sufism in Bihar. The tradition introduced here by Imam Taj Faqih continues even to this day. Tombs of several well-known Sufi saints, including the mausoleum of Shah Daulat, a contemporary of Mughal Emperors Akbar and Jehangir, are located here. Constructed by Ibrahim Khan Kakar in the early 17th century, this mausoleum epitomises architectural splendour of the Mughal period. Once known as an eminent centre of learning, Maner even attracted scholars like Panini and Vararuchi, both of whom lived and studied here.

Biharsharif
Another famous and thriving Sufi centre is Biharsharif where the tomb of Makhdum Sharfuddin Yahya Maneri, a contemporary of Mohammad bin Tughlaq and Firoz Shah Tughlaq (14th century), is located. A prolific writer, Mukhdum Sharfuddin Yahya Maneri left behind a vast corpus of mystic literature in the form of letters and treatises. He was one of the most renowned Sufi saints in medieval Bihar. Bari Dargah and Chhoti Dargah in Biharsharif town and Panhessa along the Biharsharif- Rajgir road are also important Sufi sites in the state.

Phulwarisharif
There’s another important Sufi centre at Phulwarisharif, seven km from Patna. The `Khanqah Mujeebia’, founded in the 18th century by Pir Mujibullah Qadri, still commands a large popular following. It has been a favourite home to Sufi saints. The sacred hair from the beard of Prophet Mohammad are preserved at `Bari Khanqah’ that attracts thousands of devotees.

Munger
`Khanqah-e-Rahmania’ in Munger is visited by thousands of people from across the country throughout the year. Mulla Mohammad was a Persian poet who had come to India from Mazandran located near the Caspian Sea during the reign of Aurangazeb, who employed him as a tutor of his daughter Zaibunnisa Begum. Mulla Mohammad died in 1704 AD and his tomb existed at `Khanqah-e-Rahmania’ till the early years of this century. THE LAND OF ENLIGHTENMENT 180

Patna City
The dargah of Shah Arzani near Patthar Ki Masjid in old Patna is another old and functioning Sufi centre. It dates back to the days of Mughal Emperor Jehangir.
`Khanqah Munimia’ at Meetan Ghat in Patna City, an 18th century Sufi centre, is a beautiful double-storied mosque built by Mughal Prince Azim on the banks of the Ganga. An annual Urs Chiraga, held here five days after Eid every year, draws hordes of devotees.

`Khanqah Emadia’ at Mangal Talab here is a branch of the `Khanqah Mujeebia’ and has a century- old history. Prominent Sufi saint Hazrat Pir Mujibullah Qadri of Biharsharif founded another `khanqah’ in the 19th century near Mangal Talab here.

Why high heels are bad for You ?

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 04:51 AM PST

high heelsHow shoes affect human gait is a controversial topic these days. The popularity of barefoot running, for instance, has grown in large part because of the belief, still unproven, that wearing modern, well-cushioned running shoes decreases foot strength and proprioception, the sense of how the body is positioned in space, and contributes to running-related injuries.

Whether high heels might likewise affect the wearer's biomechanics and injury risk has received scant scientific attention, however, even though millions of women wear heels almost every day. So, in one of the first studies of its kind, the Australian scientists recruited nine young women who had worn high heels for at least 40 hours a week for a minimum of two years. The scientists also recruited 10 young women who rarely, if ever, wore heels to serve as controls. The women were in their late teens, 20s or early 30s.

All of the women strode multiple times along a 26-foot-long walkway that contained a plate to gauge the forces generated as they walked. The control group covered the walkway 10 times while barefoot. The other women walked barefoot 10 times and in their chosen heels 10 times.

It was obvious, as the scientists had suspected watching the woman during their coffee break, that the women habituated to high heels walked differently from those who usually wore flats, even when the heel wearers went barefoot. But the nature and extent of the differences were surprising. In results published last week in The Journal of Applied Physiology, the scientists found that heel wearers moved with shorter, more forceful strides than the control group, their feet perpetually in a flexed, toes-pointed position. This movement pattern continued even when the women kicked off their heels and walked barefoot. As a result, the fibers in their calf muscles had shortened and they put much greater mechanical strain on their calf muscles than the control group did.

The obvious question raised by the findings, though, is so what? Does it fundamentally matter if a woman's calf muscle fibers shorten and she neglects her tendons while walking, especially if she loves the looks of her Louboutins?

Dr. Cronin admits says "We think that the large muscle strains that occur when walking in heels may ultimately increase the likelihood of strain injuries," he says. (This risk is separate from the chances that a woman, if unfamiliar with heels, may topple sideways and twist an ankle or bruise her self-image, which is an acute injury and happened to me only the one time.)

The risks extend to workouts, when heel wearers abruptly switch to sneakers or other flat shoes. "In a person who wears heels most of her working week," Dr. Cronin says, the foot and leg positioning in heels "becomes the new default position for the joints and the structures within. Any change to this default setting," he says, like pulling on Keds or Crocs, constitutes "a novel environment, which could increase injury risk."

So, if you do wear heels and are at all concerned about muscle and joint strains, his advice is simple. Try, if possible, to ease back a bit on the towering footwear, he says. Wear high heels maybe "once or twice a week," he says. And if that's not practical or desirable, "try to remove the heels whenever possible, such as when you're sitting at your desk." The shoes can remain alluring, even nestled beside your feet.
