On the 18th of November 2006 we had a talk by Laxmi Dhaul on the Chishti Dargahs of North India at the Times of India bldg, Mumbai. Laxmi is a multi-faceted person, a good speaker and has written two books on the Sufi shrines at Ajmer and Delhi. In the above picture the book that she holds, is entitled: The Dargahs of Nizamuddin Auliya. She also has other books to her credit.

She shared with us many slides which she had prepared during the process of putting these books together.

Gautama Buddha says:

Believe nothing, O monks merely because you have been told it...or because it is traditional, or because you yourselves have imagined it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever after due examination and analysis, you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings-that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.
