ONE MAN, TWO MISSIONS

How has your companionship with your wife helped in your journey of God-realization? Maulana always used to say that husband and wife are a part of a whole. That means that each is equal in all respects but performs different roles. This one teaching of Maulana changed our lives and we became intellectual partners to each other. Each appreciates the others’ role and guides the other wherever necessary. Guided by Maulana, we have intellectual exchanges. We have a beautiful garden in front of our home.

Maulana has logically explained the existence of God through examples of nature and science. Here I want to mention that the book The Seeker’s Guide has answered most of these questions.
