    Bulla, How Do You Know Yourself?

    Bulleh Shah was an 18th century Sufi saint from Punjab. His poetry, devotional love, acceptance and peace has been sung and re-sung over the centuries. Today, his shrine in Kasur, Pakistan is one of the most visited by Sufi devotees. Usually frequented by the religious devotee, the fakir (wandering mendicant) and the qawwal (singer), it is home to a diverse community, where food is provided to the needy and blessings are sought at the saint's tomb.
