metadata.value: This paper is devoted to the analysis of the mutual influence between Sufism and the local
  religious cults in Northern India. It has been shown that the connections between different
  religions in Medieval India were quite intense. The major focus is the legacy of the 14th to 16th
  centuries’ poets belonging to the Chishtiyya brotherhood, whose works allow to see the result
  of the centuries-old coexistence of different religions in India. Particular attention is paid to
  the role of adherents of hatha yoga, the Naths, in the formation of the brotherhood doctrine.
  Evidence of the exchange of ideas can be found in a multitude of diverse sources related to
  both the Sufi environment and the Nathian one, such as the Fawaid-al-fuad, a collection of
  statements by an important religious figure Nizamuddin Awliya, the poems written by members
  of the Chishtiyya, and the modern collection of instructions for members of the Nath
  community. The result of the contacts between the two communities is most comprehensively
  manifested in the work of Malik Muhammad Jayasi, a Sufi poet of the 16th century, who demonstrates
  a high level of awareness in yogic practices and the symbolic system of Nathism. In
  “Padmavat” and his other works one can see the use of the “twilight language” coding instructions
  to yoga practitioners. One can not deny the importance of analyzing interfaith relations,
  since some connections between the Sufi brotherhood and the Nath community remain even
  today.
