To Her Excellency, Her
Holiness Shri Mataji
“To
Her Excellency, Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
President of the universal and spiritual movement of
Sahaja Yoga.
It is with truly profound respect and heartfelt joy
that I offer to you, all my sincere felicitations for
this grand birthday of yours, this tremendous day of
your birth which exactly corresponds with the New Year
which our ancient nation of Iran is about to
celebrate, according to her ancestral traditions.
You have dedicated you entire life to the
establishment of morality and to the evolution of the
consciousness of humanity through love and compassion
with the aim of self knowledge. You have for this,
founded a movement which all we Muslims believe to be
a teaching whose ultimate goal is the knowledge of
God. Has not the Prophet proclaimed:
"He who knows himself,
knows God"
It is obvious that humanity will not find fulfillment
until they have established the balance between the
material world and spirituality. If once glance
through the combined history and culture of our two
countries, Iran and India, we can easily perceive that
these two nations have offered humanity similar
civilizations and have continually raised the flag of
peace and peaceful co-existence throughout the world.
We still need today to continue this historic mission.
I am convinced that by constant effort and commitment,
we can transform this sacred and ancient dream into
reality. Thus we must permit all those who are trapped
within the wheels and machinery of western
civilization, to lighten the loads on their lives; to
establish themselves in morality and to warm their
hearts with the joy of spiritual life.
In closing I would like to express to you my intense
feeling of gratitude and recognition, which I know are
shared by all the Muslims of Europe, and in particular
the Shiite community, for all your effort and
sacrifice in the pursuit of peace.
It is my humble wish that gratitude and recognition
which I hold for you, be conveyed to the Government
and the people of the India.”
Ayatollah
Dr. Mehdi Rouhani
