A group of religious leaders associated with the Ajmer Sharif Dargah convened a dialogue program in New York, showcasing the Sufi teachings that have long guided the shrine’s followers.

The dialogue concluded with a collective pledge to promote peace and solidarity across communities, echoing the Dargah’s longstanding message of universal brotherhood.
