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.

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.
