Hazrat Nizam-ud-din Auliya and Hazrat Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti represented a unique generation of saints who are ever loved and respected by millions of their devotees in India and abroad. They were scholars, opposed slavery, showed much love and respect for women and children, propagated quest for reality and truth, realism as a school of thought, concern for ailing people and a truthful model of conduct. The text contains two parts. Whereas the former deals with the ideology and philosophy of Hazrat Nizam-ud-din Auliya having deep bearing on his early career, struggle, his personality as a man, a scholar, and life in the Khanqah, the later covers the ideology of Hazrat Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti in seven chapters i.e. history of the shrine, pilgrimage to Ajmer, administration of Dargah, seven basic truths and social perspective in manifestation. This work would be useful for teachers, students and scholars in India and abroad.
