Where Never Sets The Sun by Arkaprabha Pal

...The hospice of 13th century Chisti sufi saint, Sheikh Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, is one of the very few abodes in South Asia where people from all social, cultural and religious backgrounds throng in millions to pay their respects and pray for better health and life. This composite nature and all encompassing feature of the hospice has been running down from the days of the Sheikh himself, whose generosity and love sheltered the poor, hungry and the maimed. Here, one always finds the Bliss of Spring even in the midst of harsh Winter. Nizamuddin Dargah, New Delhi-August,2016

The Sermons Are Still Heard by Arkaprabha Pal

..."The Divine Servant, Master of the World, Showered the fort with the rain of His sermons; Blessing its souls to levels of the Other World. Why stopped the roaring of the Sultan? And the poet hold back his reed? Why did the Dervish cease His sermons? Oh! Shams, an illusion of time and space it may seem; But they all glow in the sky within." ---Shams Hauz Khas, New Delhi-August.2015
