Legacy of Peace
Our Vision: Global Peace through Universal Sufi Wisdom
The **AJMER GLOBAL SUFI FOUNDATION (AGSF)** is a non-political, non-profit organization established at the blessed centre of Ajmer Sharif, the spiritual resting place of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty (R.A.), known as Khwaja Gharib Nawaz. The Foundation is the culmination of decades of spiritual guidance and effort by our esteemed Chairman, Sufi Syed Riyazuddin Chishty. Our core mission is the preservation, promotion, and propagation of the authentic, universal, and humanitarian teachings of the Chishty Order of Sufism. We believe that the path of Sulook (spiritual journey) offered by the Chishty tradition holds the key to fostering interfaith harmony, global peace, and individual spiritual refinement in an increasingly fragmented world. Our vision is to serve humanity through unconditional love, service (Khidmat), and dedication to truth, echoing the timeless message of our master.
**Spiritual Heritage and Educational Outreach:** The history of the Chishty Order is one of immense charitable work and spiritual excellence. AGSF continues this legacy by focusing heavily on education. We have initiated scholarships and financial aid programs aimed at assisting students from underprivileged backgrounds, regardless of their caste or creed. These programs focus particularly on vocational training and higher education, ensuring self-sufficiency. Furthermore, we conduct seminars, workshops, and spiritual assemblies (Mahafil-e-Sama) worldwide to demystify Sufism and introduce its teachings on self-discipline, compassion, and unity of existence (Wahdat al-Wujud) to a modern audience. Our educational drive includes publishing authenticated literature and digital content to counter misinformation regarding Sufi traditions. **Donations:** In the last fiscal year, the Foundation dedicated over $X million (Placeholder: please insert actual amount) towards educational grants and community development projects.
**Humanitarian and Social Welfare Initiatives:** AGSF is deeply involved in several critical humanitarian fields, embodying Khwaja Gharib Nawaz’s principle of "serving the creation of the Creator." During natural calamities, such as floods in Bihar (Placeholder: please name actual regions) and droughts in Maharashtra (Placeholder: please name actual regions), the Foundation mobilized rapid response teams to provide immediate relief, including food, clean water, and medical supplies. We have established temporary medical camps and donated essential life-saving equipment to rural clinics. Our ongoing projects include running community kitchens (langar) in Ajmer and other sites, ensuring thousands receive nutritious meals daily. **Case Study:** A notable project involved the complete renovation and provision of essential utilities to an orphanage in Jaipur, which now supports over 150 children, providing them with education, food, and shelter. We rely entirely on the generosity of seekers and philanthropists globally to sustain these efforts.
