Ajmer Sharif Darbar

Ajmer Sharif Dargah India remains a guiding light for the work carried out by Khwaja Garib Nawaz Foundation UK.

Ajmer Sharif Darbar has stood for hundreds of years as a serene spot of love and prayer. Situated in the historic town of Ajmer, Rajasthan, this holy place offers hope to people of all walks of life. The Darbar becomes a blessed meeting point of hearts where devotees raise their hands in dua, begging for help from Allah Taala through the wasila of Ajmer Sharif Khwaja Garib Nawaz. The air here is soft, warm and spiritual light is overflowing; it is also known as the most beautiful place in India.

Right when one steps around the Darbar, peace just resonates. The soft echoes of recitation, the fragrance of flowers and the vision of devotees presenting chadar provides an experience that lingers on. A lot of these people tell me that the sense of calm one experiences here helps bring them closer to their Creator. It is an environment in which fears soften and faith feels powerful. The peace that Darbar gives is an experience felt more than described.

Spiritual significance Ajmer Sharif Darbar is not just a spiritual dwelling, it is part of India’s rich cultural heritage. ek kadeem zamane se It bears centuries of history, molded by badshah emperors and wali saints, scholars and millions of devotees. The courtyard, its narrow surrounding streets and the traditional shops that line them are imbued with echoes of yesteryear. Seems like every stone carries a memory and every corner has story to tell. This combination of faith and heritage makes the Darbar a precious vault for visitors, scholars and people who wish to understand India’s spiritual history.

The philosophy of love for sugar-churner Khwaja Garib Nawaz is what fuels Darbar. His message was one of simplicity yet profound meaning, to love, help and serve humanity without prejudice. The values of that time still reside here today. The Darbar is a meeting place where diverse people from various religious, national, cultural backgrounds come to pay their respects. They sit side by side, they pray together, they hold hope in their hearts. This harmony is the real beauty of this place.

It is a special feeling sliding a chadar on the blessed tomb of Khwaja Garib Nawaz for any believer. It is an emotional and grateful moment.

The Darbar, beyond a spiritual experience gives an important lesson too – of kindness. A lot of people here discreetly provide visitors with water or food or counseling or whatever. This generosity is in sync with the spirit of Khwaja Garib Nawaz Urs, who was born poor and worked his entire life for the upliftment of the downtrodden.
