"I am impressed by the wonderful statement of our honorable Prime Minister Narendra
Modi that Islam and Hinduism can meet at the platform of Sufism. Keeping that in mind we
have now promoted the 5th International Sufi Festival in a much bigger way to bring in
love, peace and unity," said Sandeep Marwah, President of Marwah Studio, introducing the
festival to a large audience present from all over India and abroad.

and war. Sufism is above religion. It is the devotion towards almighty," expressed H.E.

"Love and tolerance is the key to success. We have always believed in and respect all
the religions. India is the biggest example of spirituality. Sufism teaches you humanity,"
said Dr. Bhisham Narayan Singh, former Governor of Tamil Nadu.



In her speech, Gulshaa Begum, who has entirely devoted her life for Saintly devotion
in her capacity as chairperson of Divine Abode, said that it is some great spiritual power
at Ajmer Sharif, which directed her to devote her entire self for serving Sufiyat,
and divinity. She highlighted the contribution of Hazrat Khawaja Main-ud-din Chishti (RA)

that inculcated sprit of love and humanity.
