You learn alot about the religion and the Taj Mahal and the influences there of. I love that at its center is love and I love Bahu's mother which is an astounding women. It's amazing to learn how many he actually influenced with his teachings. The author has done a great job writing with the imagery and the places that Bahu travels to. The Descriptions are just plain amazing. I would love to go to some of the places after reading this book.Book Description~One of the most venerated Sufi poets and saints, Hazrat Sultan Bahu's life has been as veiled as the divine.
