The Essence Of Khwaja's Sayings

The true friend of Allah is one who has these three qualities:
1. A friend of God must have affection like the sun. When the sun rises, it is beneficial to all. All persons derive heat and light from it irrespective of whether they are Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Hindu, etc.
2. A friend of God must be generous like an ocean or a river. We all get water from the river or sea to quench our thirst. No discrimination is made whether we are good or bad or whether we are a relation or a stranger.
3. A friend of God is one who has the quality of hospitality like the earth. We are raised and cradled in its lap, and it is always spread below our feet.

The noblest of characters is possessed by one who is:
1. Bountiful in poverty.
2. Content in hunger.
3. Cheerful in grief.
4. Friendly in hostility.

The surest way to ward off the eternal punishment of hell is:
1. To feed the hungry.
2. To redress the aggrieved.
3. To help the distressed.

Brahma Temple

On the banks of Pushkar near Ajmer stands the only Brahma Temple of the country. The temple is regarded sacred among the Hindus. Lord Brahma is considered one of the trinity- the three prime gods who undertake to create, preserve and destroy completing the cycle of the Universe. It is believed to have been constructed in the 14th century.
Many legends are associated with the lake and the temple. It is believed that Lord Brahma had slain the demon Vajra Nabh with a lotus flower. When the petals of the blossom hit the ground, the sacred Lake Pushkar sprang up. Thus on the banks of the lake a temple to Brahma was built. Another religious tale says that Brahma had descended here to perform a sacrifice (yagna) and had left his wife Saraswati back in the heavens. Since it could only be performed if accompanied by his wife, Brahma married a local lad called Gayatri. Saraswati flew into a rage and cursed her husband when she came to know of the incident. It is because of that curse that Brahma is not worshipped anywhere as the main deity except at Pushkar. The idol is a life sized one of the four armed God.
The marble steps leading to the inner premises of the temple, the elaborately carved swans and the silver inlaid marble archways enthrall the spectators. The floor is embellished with silver coins bearing the donors names and the red spire towers atop the temple honoring its fame. A silver turtle welcomes the devotee into the inner sanctum and the presence of the divine is felt at every nook of the temple. A number of beautifully carved peacocks have been sculpted to enhance the aesthetic appeal of this holy shrine. The Kartik Purnima is the most important festival celebrated at the Brahma Temple Ajmer.

According to a theory,the shrine myths are often metaphorical expressions of the particular power of a pilgrimage place, the lake, hill and area of Pushkar have a spirit or presence that awakens and stimulates the human capacity of creativity.

Pillared Gallery Of Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra

Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra

Tour the stunning Adhai Din ka Jhonpra on your tours to Ajmer tourist attractions with Indian Horizons. This spectacular piece of architecture gets its name from the fact that it was constructed within a period of 2 and a half days. Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra exhibits an exquisite blend of Indo-Islamic architectural styles. Interestingly enough the main edifice of this mosque was a center of Sanskrit education in the olden days and the pillars of the mosque that were reassembled with architectural finesse to construct this grand mosque were taken from destroyed Hindu and Jain temples in the area. Tour the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra with Indian Horizons and read Koranic versus chiseled on the 7-arched wall inside the mosque. The Mosque was designed in a hurry by a Persian architect, Abu Bakr who did a remarkable job of creating this beautiful mosque.
The main pillared hall and yellow limestone arches on the façade of the main entrance create quite an impact. There is a beautiful tower inside the mosque that is used by the Muezzin to chant prayers.The stone walls of the main prayer hall are chiseled into a net like appearance with carved rectangular panels on them. The idea was to create a natural lighting effect that was common in the mosques of Persia.
Though the walls of Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra are adorned with phrases and quotes from the holy Koran, there is a tiny Sanskrit inscription right on top of the main gate that reminds you of the actual origin of this historic monument constructed by Mohammed Ghori in 1198 A. D.
