    • "Remember that India was ruled by Muslim sultans. So incorporation of Muslims in Hindu tradition was mostly way to survive and escape pressure from Sultans. The same way Juna Akhara mahants start to use sufi name Pir - to get more respect from Muslim politicians. Of cource on siddha level were no big difference (we know about Kabir, Shirdi Sai baba etc). But even these saints were more under influence of Hinduism - Kabir was worshipped Rama, Shirdi Baba was sitting near dhuni like Hindu baba and dicussed Upanishads or Gita as well as Quran."  Llya Zhuravlev
