	Fakir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fakir is etymologically an Arabic term usually used to refer to either the spiritual recluse and fierce eremite or the common street beggar who chants holy names, scriptures or verses.
		When used referring to somber spiritual miracle-makers, fakir is applied primarily to Sufi, but also Hindu, ascetics.
		Many stereotypes of the great fakir exist, among the more extreme being the picture of a near-naked man effortlessly walking barefoot on burning coals, levitating during bouts of meditation, or "living on air" (refusing all food).

	FAKIR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Een fakir is een soefistische en soms ook hindoeïstische asceet die vooral voorkomt in India.
		Een ander stereotiep voorbeeld is dat van de fakir die in kleermakerszit achter een mandje zit, waaruit een slang verticaal omhoogkomt terwijl de fakir op een fluit blaast.
		In de islam komt een fakir, in de betekenis van iemand die geen inkomen of bezittingen heeft, in aanmerking voor het ontvangen van een deel van de zakat.

	Fakir Musafar / Modern Primitives
		Fakir’s role models are Hindu sadhus who sleep on beds of nails, African women with necks elongated by metal rings, and New Guinea tribesmen with belts that reduce their waists to a whisper.
		Fakir: I think there’s a cultural change coming about but I think it’s coming about because the people with these old attitudes are just going to last so long and die, and their place will be taken by people with new attitudes.
		Fakir: I think it is. These things go in cycles anyway, so there are bound to be swings this way or that, but for the most part I think it’s a reaction to it’s own end.

		Fakir is however associated with Faker quite extensively in english literature.
		The general picture of a fakir is not just someone lieing on a bed of nails, but someone using their bed of nails exhibition to despoil the credulous of their wealth, that the bed of nails and so forth were acts of fakery meant to gull a superstitious native population.
		For this native Russian-speaker "fakir" is not associated with bed of nails ("yog" is), but with magician in pseudo-Indian costume (and in mandatory turban) performing his act on stage (less - on circus arena).

		Fakir is a master photographer who is not afraid of putting forth images of his deepest self.
		And this is as it should be, because it is clear that Fakir is the centerpiece of his own universe, in which the TV idea of the makeover is taken to an extreme hard to imagine without seeing it.
		For Fakir, pain is a portal to the divine; he has turned himself into a "technician of the sacred," using his own body much the same way flagellants from a variety of religions use pain to seek the divine.

		Doctors who examined the fakir found that he had cut the muscles under his tongue so that it could be folded back to seal off the nasal passages.
		They noted also that for some days before he was due to be buried he consumed only milk and yogurt; for the last two days he fasted completely and used the usual yoga techniques to clean out his alimentary canal (among other things swallowing a thirty-yard (27.4m) strip of linen and regurgitating it).
		When it was opened, the fakir was discovered sitting inside a wooden box four feet by three (1.2 x 1 meters), itself standing in a three-foot (1 meter) deep pit.

		Fakir is lashed on this one and rotated 360 degrees for several hours to bring him to the "edge" of his body/spirit interface and a wild inner-space trip.
		Fakir goes about this in a shamanic way, he's not out to make a bundle of money, he's not interested in getting any more famous.
		Fakir's bodymod is quite total; Here a 6" collar lengthens his neck, a steel rod is used to stretch nipples and his waist is compressed by a tight belt.

		He must beg for that which is his, and though he has never known the feeling of bitterness, he has learned that his own role in the intricate chain of being is crumbling into the sand like the great tombs themselves, at any moment subject to the wind.
		Without averting his gaze from the distance, the fakir reaches for a leather pouch that dangles from his neck.
		The fakir looks at the coin in his hand and, wrapping it tightly in his fist, he turns to Cheops.

	Review of Body Play
		The frontispiece of this book shows a full-front fl-and-white portrait of the young adult Fakir Musafar in Buddy Holly glasses, dark pressed slacks, and a dark tie over a starched white French cuff shirt, his right arm raised to hold a cigarette near his mouth, his left elbow resting on a candle-shaped lamp.
		Moshe Feldenkrais, Ida Rolf, Joseph Heller, and their colleagues and disciples used "body awareness" as a biofeedback mechanism and a teaching tool; kinesiology and dance therapy are based on it, as, in a different way, are all the distinctly American forms of modern dance, from Martha Graham and her descendants to Keith Hennessy's contact improvisation.
		Like the best of these psychologists and movement artists, Fakir has had an original vision, the ability to execute that vision in forms that communicate with other people, and the grace to move beyond the limits of his own history, reputation, triumphs, and fears.

		There was a large concourse of people, so the Muslim fakir thought that he might slip in unperceived; and overcome too with curiosity, he had determined to see what sort of a man the Hindu fakir was who had carried off so many people as his followers.
