The Qadri Shattari, also called Qadiri-Shattari, is the Shattariyya branch of the Qadiriyya silsila, developed by Bahauddin Ansari, who died in 1516, through the integration of Shattari methods into Qadiri Sufi practice, and is primarily active today in India, Pakistan and Indonesia. The order centers its philosophy on wahdat al-wujud, or unity of existence, and historically blended Islamic with Hindu mystical practices, incorporating yogic elements such as breath control, postures and chakra visualization; it historically influenced politics in the Mughal Empire and the Deccan sultanates, counts the poets Bulleh Shah and Shah Inayat Qadiri among its notable practitioners, and is currently led by Sayyad Mushtaq Hussain Ali Mast Qadri Shattari.
