Azarkeivanian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Azarkeivanianism[1] in Persian: ( آذرکیوانیان ) was one of the Zoroastrian sects that emerged in the Safavid Persian Empire and was founded by the philosopher Azar Kayvan, who was a student of Shihab al-Din Yahya ibn Habash Suhrawardi.[2]
Jivanji Jamshedji Modi deduced that the beliefs of Kayvan and his disciples were partially influenced by the Islamic mystic sect known as Sufism, the Indian spiritual practice of Yoga[3] and the Illuminationist philosophy of Suhrawardi, but does not give an explicit description of their beliefs.[4]
