The dervishes differ, says A. Vambery,[120] from each other only by the manner in which they demonstrate their enthusiasm; still the more we penetrate towards the East, the greater is the purity with which they have been preserved. In Persia the dervishes play a much more important part than in Turkey, and in Central Asia, isolated as it has been from the rest of the world for centuries, this fraternity is still in full vigor, and exercises a great influence upon society. According to A. Vambery, the _Bektashi_, _Mevlevi_, and _Rufai_ orders are principally found in Turkey; the _Kadrie_ and _Djelali_ in Arabia; the _Oveisi_ and the _Nurbakhchi Nimetullahi_ in Persia; the _Khilali_ and _Zahibi_ in India, and the _Nakishbendi_ and _Sofi_ (a recent order) in Central Asia. According to Th. P. Hughes[121] the following are the chief orders of Faqirs met with in North India: (1) The _Naqshbandia_, the followers of Khwajah Pir Mohammed Naqshband, and are a very numerous sect; they usually perform the Zikr-i-Khafi[122] or the silent devotion. (2) The _Qadiria_ sprung from the celebrated Sayyid Abdul Qadir, surnamed Pir Dustagir, whose shrine is at Bagdad. They practice both forms of the Zikr. Most of the Sunni Moulavis of the north-west frontier of India are members of this order. In Egypt it is most popular among the fisherman. (3) The _Chishtia_ are followers of Banda Nawaz, whose shrine is at Calburgah; they are partial to vocal music, for the founder of the order remarked, that singing was the food and support of the soul. They perform the Zikr-i-Jali. (4) The _Jalalia_ founded by Sayyid Jalal-ud-din of Bokhara; they are met with in Central Asia. Religious mendicants are often of this order. (5) The _Sarwardia_ are popular in Afganistan and comprise many learned men. They are the followers of Hasan Bisri of Basra, near Bagdad. These five are all ba-Shara Faqirs. The be-Shara Faqirs are very numerous. The most popular order is that of the _Mudaria_, founded by Zinda Shah Murdar of Syria, whose shrine is at Mukanpur, in Oudh. From these have sprung the _Malang_ Faqirs who crowd the bazaars of India. They wear their hair matted or tied in a knot. The _Rafia_ order is also a numerous one in some parts of India. They practice the most severe discipline and mortify themselves by scourging. The secrets of the dervish orders cannot be learned. An initiation is described in Lane’s Society is the Middle Ages and the following is another. The following is the account of the admission of Tewekkul Bêg into the order of the Qadiriyahfaqirs, one of the four most prominent ones, by Moolla Shah, a Saint and poet of some celebrity, who died in the year of the Hegira 1072 (1661-62 of our era), at Lahore, where his shrine was reared by the Princess Fatima, daughter of Shah-Jihan. Tewekkul is himself the narrator:
