Ecstasy and Enlightenment: The Ismaili Devotional Literature of South Asia by Ali S. Asani (2002-05-04) (Ismaili Heritage Series)
The devotional and mystical literature of the Ismailis in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent is a little known but rich seam of creativity in the cultural heritage of Islam. The book focuses on the Ginans, a large corpus of hymns and poems composed in a variety of Indic languages and attributed to a series of preacher-saints who propagated the Ismaili form of Islam in the subcontinent over several centuries.
