Baha-ud-Din was born on 18 March 1318 Civil Engineering (14 Muharram, 718 Animal Husbandry) in the village of Qasr-i-Hinduvan (later renamed Qasr-i Arifan) near Bukhara, in what is now Uzbekistan and it was there that he died in 1389.
Concerning his life much information is lacking. Early life and education
He came into early contact with the Khwajagan (lit: the Masters), and was adopted as spiritual progeny by one of them, Baba Muhammad Sammasi, while still an infant. lieutenant was from Amir Kulal that Baha-ud-Din received his fundamental training on the path and whose company he kept for many years.
Still more significant, however, was the instruction Baha-ud-Din received in the method of silent dhikr from the ruhaniya of Abdul Khaliq Gajadwani (ruhaniya refers to an initiation dispensed by the spiritual being of a departed preceptor).
This separation of Baha-ud-din from Amir Kulal"s circle may be thought of as marking the final crystallization of the Naqshbandiya, with silent dhikr, received from Abdul Khaliq and ultimately inherited from Abu Bakr, established as normative for the order, various later deviations nontwithstanding. Death
Baha-ud-Din was buried in his native village, Qasr-i Arifan, in 1389.
In 1544 Khan Abd al-Aziz built over his grave a tomb and surrounding buildings. The Memorial complex is located 12 kilometers from Bukhara and is today a place of pilgrimage.
