, is a Sufi order founded in Pakistan
in 1960 by Qalander Ba Ba Auliya
. It is currently headed by Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi
.
. To serve the creatures of god and to enhance the spiritual potential of people worldwide.
Silsila-e-Azeemia responds to this belief by proposing a system that scientifically fulfills spiritual needs of man in this modern era. Instead of employing orthodox, traditional spiritual education, Silsila-e-Azeemia offers modern techniques formulated to keep pace with modern science.
The founder leader of Silsila-e-Azeemia, Qalandar Baba Auliya, founded this Sufi Order after saying he had spiritually gained its approval from Muhammad in July 1960. The order is named after its founder.
Silsila-e-Azeemia encompasses two spiritual areas: spiritual association (salook) and raptness (juzb). Qalandar Baba Auliya is associated with twenty-one Sufi Orders and is the Khanwada (recipient of a thinking pattern of the founder leader of a Sufi Order) of eleven Sufi Orders.
Unlike a traditional style, Silsila-e-Azeemia followers are not called disciples, but friends. No particular dress code or appearance is required. The basic criteria for association with the Silsila is just a sincere interest and devotion to spirituality. Instead of austere and rigorous rituals, simpler lessons and exercises are practiced. Through Muraqba (Meditation) the spiritual student strives to start a journey into the spiritual realm, with the goal of becoming more enlightened on the path.
Silsila Azeemia strives to "promote the teachings of the Holy Prophet so that our soul may find happiness and peace, and fulfill the purpose of our creation, which is to experience, and understand the ultimate reality by gaining spiritual knowledge of the highest form."

Birth of a new Sufi order
