A Floating
Sanctuary
In the great Chishti tradition, wisdom has always passed Sina Ba Sina — chest to chest, heart to heart, in the living company of the awakened. This is not a conference, a seminar, or a performance. It is a pilgrimage of presence — a gathering of sincere souls who dare to ask the oldest questions while sailing the timeless sea between Singapore and the ancient port of Malacca.
For three transformative days aboard the Babtua, seekers from every tradition, every nation, and every walk of life will sit together in the great democracy of the human heart. Under open skies, on the deck of a moving vessel, something becomes possible that rarely occurs on land.
The Heart Is A Mirror Of The Divine — And Upon Open Waters, Far From The Noise Of The World, That Mirror Becomes Perfectly Still.
Waters of
Ancient Blessing
Singapore and Malacca - two cities where Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and Taoism have coexisted for centuries form the natural compass of this spiritual voyage.

Return
Transformed
We return not as we were, but as hearts awakened by the journey and each other.
The Strait of Malacca has carried the prayers of pilgrims, merchants, scholars, and saints for a thousand years. To sail it in the company of awakened hearts is itself an act of remembrance.

Haji Syed Salman Chishty - Sufi Musafir Of Ajmer Sharif
Sufi Musafir • Ajmer Sharif
Haji Syed Salman Chishty
26th Gaddi Nashin • Dargah Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty, Ajmer Sharif
Chairman, Chishty Foundation • Sufi Musafir
From the living heart of Dargah Ajmer Sharif — the most visited shrine in the subcontinent and the eternal seat of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz — Haji Syed Salman Chishty carries an unbroken lineage of Sufi love spanning eight centuries.
A tireless spiritual diplomat who has walked the paths of peace across 92 countries, sat with presidents and the poorest of the poor, and held the flame of the Chishti message — Love Towards All, Malice Towards None — in every corner of the world.
On this voyage, he brings not a lecture, but himself: his laughter, his silence, his tears, and the living warmth of Sina Ba Sina — the ancient transmission that no screen can carry, that only the open human heart can receive.

Come, Come, Whoever You Are — Wanderer,

What This Journey
Rests Upon
Shukr — Gratitude
In the Sufi understanding, gratitude is not merely an emotion — it is a station of the soul, a lens through which the ordinary world reveals its extraordinary nature.
Sabr — Patience
Sabr is the great teacher. Not the patience of resignation, but the patience of a seed in winter — containing all its becoming within itself.
Sina Ba Sina — Heart To Heart
The deepest truths cannot be transmitted through screens or syllables — they travel heart to heart, in the electric current of real presence.
Love Towards All, Malice Towards None
The timeless compass of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz and the Chishti lineage. Not a slogan — a way of moving through the world.
Who Sails With Us

If you have ever felt the need to pause, to breathe, to remember who you are beneath your roles and routines — this ship is yours.
