The objectives of this Peetham are based mainly on Sufi Philosophy but the Peethadhipathis have imbibed Hindu Philosophy of Dharma.They learnt not only the Hindu Scriptures Bur also masterd The Quran and The Bible, grasped the essence of all the major three religions and realised "oneness of God". Thus One sees the harmonious blend ofSufi and Hindu philosophies at this peetham.Montheism has become its main plank. [cite news

The Significance of this peetham is Transcendentalism. Unlike other Hindu Peetham's,here are no dress regulations, no display of occult powers or mesmeric gimmics. Even the Peethadhipathi himself dresses like any other ordinary person. Unlike the Hindu Peethadhipathis the Peethadhipathi here is not a celibate, but leads a family life. The essence of his teaching is Bhukthi,Trupthi,Mukthi - the food to the body,satisfaction to the mind and Salvation to the Soul. Publicity is shunned as the Peethadhipathi doesn't like it. He desires silent trransformation of the individual.It's theme is that God is in man himself. It strives to make man a man by dispelling ignorance to make man realise God in himself and to make him attain Supreme Knowledge.The Peetham acts on three principles. The Guru, the Mantra and the Sadhana.It insists on absolute faith on the Guru who offers a Manthra to the devotees and expects them to do Sadhana on the Manthra to attain spiritual elevation.No distinction of class,caste,creed,religion or sex is made.

Any body is free to enter the ashram and do his or her sadhana and can join this "Peetham" as a member. This "Peetham" does relentlus propagation of dharma and endeavours to draw out the divine qualities in man. Any member who joins the "Peetham" is free to adopt his own religion, follow his own customs and traditions,hold on to his own religions beliefs and personal views. There is no need for any sort of conversion. Yet he can be a member and practice spiritual sadhana.

Peethadhipathis

Madin Kabir Sha

Madin Kabir Sha was the first Peethadhipathi to come to Pithapuram and establish this spiritual organisation. He was a disciple of Abdul-Qadir Gilani (Phirane Pir) the descendant and spiritual successor of Islamic prophet Muhammad.He had followed the preaching of His master, performed great penance and accomplished in it .He had number of disciples.History Reveals that his disciples had requested him to display a miracle in testimony of His Divine power in those days. He accepted their request. Then they brought several cartloads of firewood, made a big pyre at the heart of the town and asked their Great Master to sit on it. With a beautiful smile adoring his personality the Master entered into the fire in an admirable way by the angels and other celestial beings. He had laid himself on the fire for about 24 hours comfortably and came out of it unhurt. The Great Masters lineage had traveled from Baghdad to Persia from there it came to Delhi, then to Hyderabad and then to Pithapuram. At Pithapuram it stood for the fire test, which itself is a testimony to the greatness of this Peetham and its Heads. [cite book

He succeeded as the Fourth Peethadhipathi.Sri Kahene Sha vali Sathguru was a great philosopher. History reveals that When he was at tender age (about five years old) His father (Sri Hasan Miya Sha )has left the body and synthesized in cosmic eternity. Hence He was initiated by Sri Akhail- Ali- Sha Sathguru with the Mahamantra and accomplished in transcendentalism. Then with His Master’s blessings He took over the lordship of the Peetham and became Master to many disciples. Since then Sri Akhail- Ali- Sha Sathguru is being honored as Vamsa Guru (The Preceptor of the Great masters Linage). The glory of Sri Kahene Sha vali Sathguru is inexpressible in words. He was (is) capable of performing pleasure trips in both gross and astral worlds.

Dr Umar Alisha

Dr Umar Alisa II assumed charge as 9th peethadhipathi in 1989 and is still continuing till date. Though Dr Umar Alisha II has a prefix of Brahmarishi his external appearance does not have any of the physical characteristics of Ancient Rishis. on the other hand he looks like any other ordinary person. He lays more stress on spiritual realisation rather than on physical forms. Along with spiritual pursuit he is also undertaking various educational, Social, Ethical activities. Among them the most important one is the Umar Alisha Akshara Jyothi. He says that Ignorance is the root cause of superstition and illiteracy is the root cause of Ignorance. So the Peetham has taken up the Umar Alisha Akshara Jyothi Programme with all seriousness and turned thousands of illiterates to literates. [cite news
