Any discussion regarding spiritual or occult sciences,
interpretation of dreams, telepathy, spiritual healing, color therapy and
institutionalization of mysticism remains incomplete if the august name of Khwaja
Shamsuddin Azeemi is not mentioned.
Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi chief
editor of monthly Roohani Digest Karachi and Rohani Digest International, is a
Pakistani scholar of international repute in the field of spiritualism. He has
presented spiritualism that used to be considered something mysterious and
hard-to learn, in the most modern and scientific way bringing it out of the
dark shadows of myths and lore. His contribution in scientifisizing and
institutionalizing the most ancient body of knowledge according to the needs of
the people of modern age will be remembered for times to come.
Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi, an
able student of His Divine Grace Qalander Baba Auliya, was born on Monday 17'
October 1927, in the town of Anbaith
Pirzadgan, District Saharanpur (UP), India. He belongs to the lineage of Hazrat
Abu Ayub Ansari, the famous Companion and the host of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
Most of people know Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi because of his unique
style of writing. He has authored forty-two books so far besides eighty
pamphlets and articles covering almost every aspect of metaphysical sciences.
Most of his authored books have been translated into English, Thai, Russian,
Arabic, Persian, Pashto, and Sindhi.
He has also authored a remarkable book on the life history of the Holy
Prophet titled as Mohammad (PBUH), The Prophet of God. In the first volume of
this work he has given a detailed account of the struggles and strivings of the
Holy Prophet for spreading the Islamic Teachings. In the second volume of this
work he has explained the Miracles of the Holy Prophet in the light of
Spiritual Science and in the third volume he has explained the underlying
meanings of the events of the lives of the prophets of God. He has also
explained the contents of his mentor's Book Loh-o-Qalum. These two have also
been translated into English.
Introduction of Color Therapy, a therapeutic system based upon the treatment
of diseases by using colors and colorful lights, nationally and
internationally, is yet another feather in his cap. He also guided and supervised
a PhD thesis on the subject of Chromopathy. The International University of
Colombo has conferred a PhD degree on that work.
His articles in spite of the uniqueness of their subject
matter remain within comprehension of the common man. Presentation of a divine
body of knowledge that has reached him in disciplic succession in the most
simple and understandable way is an incredible success and achievement of
Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi.
His column ROOHANI DARK has become a legend through which
millions of people have been advised for their socioeconomic, psychological and
spiritual problems over the past thirty years. Besides suggesting solutions for
the problems of the people, questions and queries about the most complicated
and enigmatic phenomena of nature are also replied comprehensively in the light
of the spiritual sciences. Every month more than eleven thousand letters
seeking his guidance are received and replied as a free service.
In addition to these literary contributions to develop the
mental faculties of the young generation he has established a chain of
fifty-three Muraqba Halls across the length & breadth of Pakistan and 26 in
major cities of other countries i.e., 13 in Europe, 4 in America, 1 in Canada,
2 in U.A.E, 1 in Bahrain, 1 in Thailand, 1 in Russia, 1 in Denmark, 1 in
Holland, 1 in ace Norway. These Muraqba Halls have been established to teach
spiritual sciences and to train and prepare that lot of people who could carry
the torch of the Divine mission of spreading peace and harmony after
enlightening their own souls. Muraqba hall is a center operating under his
direct supervision and guidance where the students of spiritual sciences are
taught the art of meditation, spiritual healing, color therapy and learn to
serve others without any distinction of caste, color or creed, as a free
service to the humanity.

by his able teacher His Divine Grace Qalander Baba Auliya, is striving really
very hard to spread this message that cognition of the soul is the only way to
cognize our Lord God and the cognition of the hidden potentialities of the soul
are essential for a peaceful living. For this purpose he has evolved that
branch of knowledge, which has been termed as Parapsychology and deals with the
laws of nature operative at the preternatural level.

direct counseling he is rendering such a service for his fellow beings, which
cannot be ignored by any chance. All these seemingly Herculean tasks have the
only motive of enabling the man to be acquainted with his Cherishing Lord after
equipping himself with insight and vision through that sacred knowledge, which
are the heritage of mankind and a legacy of the prophets of God.
