Initiation in Sufi Order
Shah Niyaz inherited spiritual qualities from his parents, particularly from his mother from childhood.
His mother gave him in the care of Sayed Faqruddin Muhammad Dehalvi who is famous by the name Maulana Faqr-e-paak/Fakr-e-Zahaan who later made Shah Niyaz his spiritual disciple. He used to call him Miyan. Faqr-e-paak deputed Niyaz to Bareilly (Uttarpradesh, India) to carry out the work of the order.
Niyaz was inducted in Qadri order by Abdullah Baghdadi, who was direct descendent of Gausul Aazam. The incidence is such that one day Fakre Paak told that in his dream Ghaus Paak has introduced him to a certain person (closely related to him) who would be sent to initiate Niyaz as his disciple and Fakre Paak should have him accepted by the person. After six days Fakre Paak told one day that Ghaus Paak has told him that the person has reached Delhi. Fakre Paak placed a tray full of sweets on his head and holding the hand of Niyaz went to Jama Masjid Delhi, where the person (Abdullah Baghdadi) was staying. Hazrat Fakre Paak recognized Abdullah Baghdadi at once and placed the tray in front of him. Niyaz was accepted by Abdullah Baghdadi as his spiritual desciple in front of huge crowd in the arch of Jama Masjid.
Shah Niyaz also received spiritual blessings from other saints of other sufi orders. In brief it can be put that he was initiated in Qadri order by Syed Abdullah Baghdadi and Mohi-ud-din Diyasnami, in Chisti-Nizami order by Fakr-e-Jahaan and Said-ud-din, in Suharwardi order by Fakr-e-Jahaan, and in Chisti-Sabri-Naqshbandi order from Shah Rahmat-ul-lah.
The Sufi order he established is known as the Niyazi Silsila.
The Sufi order Chishti Nizami Lutfi(India & Pakistan) established by Moulana Lutfullah Chishti Nizami Dankori Rehmatullah the 4th spiritual descendant of Shah Niyaz.

Famous quotes containing the words initiation in, initiation and/or order:
“Until the end of the Middle Ages, and in many cases afterwards too, in order to obtain initiation in a trade of any sort whatever—whether that of courtier, soldier, administrator, merchant or workman—a boy did not amass the knowledge necessary to ply that trade before entering it, but threw himself into it; he then acquired the necessary knowledge.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
“The difficult and risky task of meeting and mastering the new—whether it be the settlement of new lands or the initiation of new ways of life—is not undertaken by the vanguard of society but by its rear. It is the misfits, failures, fugitives, outcasts and their like who are among the first to grapple with the new.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Today, San Francisco has experienced a double tragedy of incredible proportions. As acting mayor, I order an immediate state of mourning in our city. The city and county of San Francisco must and will pull itself together at this time. We will carry on as best as we possibly can.... I think we all have to share the same sense of shame and the same sense of outrage.”
—Dianne Feinstein (b. 1933)
