Default Who are the Jogi Faqirs?
Pakistani brothers I would like to know more about the Jogi Faqirs.

I know they are the descendants of reverts from a a hindu caste of Yogis who became Muslim.

I know they are associated to qawwali and similar...

Do they still do yoga?

Have they Islamicized their yoga?

The reason I ask is that a lot of people (Muslims) I know are have practised or interested in Hatha Yoga for health benefits, but this obviously has its bad side due to Hindu connotations and connection.

Do the Yogi Faqirs do yoga with the bad ideas and associations taken out?

Is it worth someone from the west coming to look at them or are they not worthy of interest?
