INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY SPECIAL

How did Maulana influence your way of thinking? Maulana gave my life a clear purpose: to spread the message of peace and harmony. He completely transformed my life, guiding me from being a lost soul to living a life centred on God. His teachings helped me change from a crying, unsure person to a strong and confident girl. I went from being a negative thinker to adopting a positive mindset. The lessons from Maulana wherein I was connected with my Creator helped me sail through my life.

I used to think I was very sensitive, but Maulana was even more so. It’s because when you genuinely care for humanity, you automatically become sensitive towards others. What inspired you to wholly devote yourself to the CPS Mission? As I mentioned, Maulana gave me a life mission to spread the message of peace and harmony. After working for 14 years at American Express, I wanted to quit my job and dedicate myself to the mission. I believed that if God had been kind enough to give me this message, it was my duty to share it with others. Maulana provided me with the purpose
