AbstractThe connection between Islamic and Indian culture is undeniable. Meanwhile, Sufism and Sufi Tariqats have played a major role in creating such a relationship. The comparative researches indicate that there have been effects between Sufism and Indian religions and schools and there is the integration of some rituals and practices among Sufism and especially the Yoga school. Shattariyyah Tariqah in India, especially since the time of Sheikh Mohammad Ghowth-e Gwaliari, has had the most influence and integration with the practical exercises of Yoga. The present research, with an analytical and comparative study in a library method- with an emphasis on one of the most important works of Shattarian Tariqat and practical mysticism namely Jawaher-e Khamseh by Sheikh Mohammad Ghowth Gwaliari- while describing meditation and body various postures (āsanas)- based on the text of the famous sage Patanjali's Yoga Sutras- has investigated its similarities and influences in the Shattariyyah Tariqah and the Yoga school.
