This "Sufism" is a religion of its own. It has nothing to do with what Allah wants, and what the prophet taught. It borrowed everything 'mystic' and 'spiritual' from Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and combined it to make something that is miles away from Quran and Sunnah.
A great percentage of "Muslims" in India indulge in these practices. Such people have been exposed by Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza a few years ago. They are basically Hindus who converted, but still wanted to relieve their psychological need for going to a temple and worship something tangible.
