Hearts and souls of all humanity regardless of their spiritual or religious back ground. His aim is to enlighten all human beings. He propagates and advocates the spiritual sciences
through which one can enlighten his heart. He advocates spiritual sciences. Like science of your body, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, similarly there are sciences of spirituality also and the sciences of spirituality address how to revive and awaken your inner faculties, and the inner faculties when they are revived, when they are enlightened they obtain spiritual connection with God. When the inner faculties of human beings meaning your heart and souls and other souls in the human body when they are enlightened with divine love, with divine energy, with divine light. After the enlightenment they are spirituality connected with the God and enlightened heart can speak with God, so that is the purpose. His Holiness Gohar Shahi is messenger of love and He is universal unifier. He is here to unify all hearts, all souls, all human beings in love of God. And our purpose in Sri Lanka is to bring about eternal peace, join the hearts of all religions with the bond of divine love. All should live in peace and complete harmony. Our purpose in Sri Lanka is to bring about eternal peace by bringing divine love into every heart of every human being no matter what religion or sect they practice or they belong to. His Holiness is not concerned whether one practices Buddhism, Christianity, Islam or any other religion. His Holiness Gohar Shahi advocates spirituality, bring divine love in your heart no matter what religion you belong to, and once all the hearts are purified and they are cleansed and the devil has come out of all hearts people would become one nation united in love. All the strife and all the fighting, all terrorism will fade away slowly but steadily.
Q. Where is His Holiness Gohar Shahi from?
His Holiness Gohar Shahi comes from Pakistan. He comes from Pakistan, but He says He is just LOVE, God sent Him as LOVE. He does not belong to any religion. He is for all.
Q. He teaches he is the messiah, when did he know that, how did he understand it?
He does not say He is Messiah, the people who obtained divine love and spiritual in sight when these people saw divine signs in his character and personality and attributes of divine in his personality they understand him to be Messiah, and those Muslims who obtained divine love from him, they understand him to be the awaited Imam Mehdi. And Hindus when they obtained divine love from him, and they observed divine signs his character and personality they understand him to be the awaited kalki Avatar. And the people of different countries, like Buddhist when the saw the features of Lord Buddha in his character and personality they understand Him to be Lord Buddha’s soul living in Him. So basically Himself He does not say he is Messiah but it is what people experienced and they after experiences they proclaim He is Messiah. Muslim say he is Mehdi, some other say He is Lord Buddha incarnation and Hindus say him incarnation of Kalki Avatar.
Q. How many countries have spread your teachings?

Q. What about the picture of His Holiness Gohar Shahi on the moon?
His picture are visible on the moon many people receive spiritual grace and benevolence from his picture in the moon speak to every body in all languages, yes his picture speak from the moon in all languages. And it is open invitation to every body when the moon rises from the east look at the picture of His Holiness Gohar Shahi in the moon and you can converse and you will get the answer in your heart, from any place of the world in any language…, of course if some body can see the moon He will surely see the picture also because this picture is not spiritual it’s physical picture. If you can see the moon you can also see the picture. If there is a picture you will see it …
Q. What are the difference of H.H.GOHAR,S teaching and other religions teaching?
As I earlier said, He does not preach any religion, He perches spirituality. Spirituality is establishing a connection with God .Spirituality is some thing to revive heart and souls. Spirituality is not religion but spirituality is the goal of all religion. spirituality is like soul of every religion , what has happened these days, people have lost the spiritual connection with God, people have lost the soul of the religion , now people are fighting each other in the name of religion , in the name of God. Because they have lost love of God from their heart and this is the aim of His Holiness Gohar Shahi to awaken their hearts and souls once more and fill them with light of God, with love of God. So that they can understand the purpose of religion they can also understand the purpose of human being coming into this world once the hatred is wiped out from their hearts they can live in
peace and complete harmony .
With reference to Allah His Holiness Gohar Shahi says, God has different names in different religions and different languages some call him Allah, some call him Bhagwan and some others call him God, and some others call him Rab, and some others call him Buddha and some others with some others names, so there are different names to God . And every name in every language which people use to call upon God is worthy of respect that’s what He says.
Q. How many countries have spread your teachings?
India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Canada, America, United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain,
Norway, Greece, Turkey, Italy and many other places.
Q. How is the response from the traditional Muslims to your mission?(most of them reject you)
Muslims do not like this message, for they, I will not call it orthodox, they are very rigid in their own fabricated philosophies which we think is not part of Islam.
Regarding Muslims ------ok -------------as I earlier mentioned His Holiness Gohar Shahi is for every single human being on earth He does not talk about hatred, He talks about love his message is love and He also renders the practical teachings how to bring about love in hearts and souls. But Muslims may be, they do not understand this message, so Muslims, not all Muslims the majority of Muslims who do not believe in spirituality they oppose his message very strongly. And we do not propagate Islam, we only propagate divine love so in some countries like Pakistan, like Sri Lanka, like all other rigid Islamic countries His message is not welcome the way it should be by Muslims. Some other Muslims do not understand His message, so we have some kind of fierce position in most of the Muslims, but not all Muslims are against this message.
Q. What is your experience of the response from Buddhist people?
Buddhist love His Holiness’s message in Japan, in South Korea, in China, Thailand, and also in Sri Lanka, they love His message because He talks about enlightenment. If you translate word Buddha into English, Buddha means enlightenment. So His Holiness Gohar Shahi talks about enlightenment, which means, He talks about Buddha, how to become enlightened, that’s His message. He loves Buddha and He says every body should be enlightened if they want to follow Lord Buddha.
Q. Has he any miracle power?
Many miracles are attributed to His Holiness SARKAR GOHAR SHAHI, He brought dead people to life, many people with incurable diseases were healed, countless miracles are attributed to His Holiness GOHAR SHAHI… Every where in the world America, England, Europe, Africa, Asia every where… there are so many … blind people who did not have sight their sight restored, people who were not able to speak their power to speak restored, many people who were not able to walk they were able to walk again.
But the most important thing is people who did not have connection with God when His Holiness Gohar Shahi taught them spirituality they were able to speak with God. He revived their hearts and souls and he inserted divine love into their hearts.
Q. Is your mission forbidden in the Muslim countries?
Our mission is banned in Saudi Arabia, only Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates it’s banned, because they think we talk against Islam, they think, we don’t talk against any religion though, but they think we are against Islam but that’s not true. They think against Islam and we are against Muslims this is their thinking but we are not against anybody, but this is how it appears to them, because we talk about Lord Buddha we talk about Jesus Christ we talk about Bhagwan we talk about every religion we want to make this bridge between hearts so that people can forgive each other people can forgive their differences and people can come closer with the bond of divine love and they can live in peace and complete harmony and this world become a peaceful place to live in.
Q. What is your opinion about Osama bin laden, Taliban & Al-Qaeda organization?
we are against Terrorism why our mission is banned our message is banned in Saudi Arabia and some other countries is because we talk against terrorism, we talk against all kinds of terrorism. We talk against terrorism in the name of religion, we talk against terrorism in the name of country, we talk against all terrorism and all kinds of atrocities. ---- Yes that’s what I am trying to tell you Saudi Arabia banned our mission because we against Taliban we are against Osama bin Laden. And Osama bin Laden has been running a fierce campaign against his holiness Gohar Shahi and he issued threats of assassination against HH G S and he also left bounty hunters after HH G S. ---Yes we oppose the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden and all other Islamist terrorist who spread killings, carnage, massacre of the innocent people human beings in the name of God in the name of religion. We are opposing it and we do not like it because this is a great tyranny and we think it is a deplorable act and it must be discouraged, so because we talk against these atrocities of Osama bin Laden, Taliban and Al-Qaeda, this is why they are against us they are running a fierce campaign against HH G S and his mission. And HH G S is attacked many times many attempts were made on His life. So may this is why Saudi Arabia has banned our mission, United Arab Emirates has banned our mission
Q. When was His Holiness Gohar Shahi last seen and where, and When will He return, are you in contact with Him?
Of course, Gohar Shahi Sarkar was last seen in America five years ago and then He disappeared He was seen on 15th of October in America five years ago, 2001, and then He disappeared and we are not in contact with Him, but spiritually we receive messages from Him. Yes we have spiritual contact. Only He knows why did He disappear but it was foretold for centuries that He would disappear so He disappeared and He said He would return. He has been talking about this for ages that one day that He would disappear and He would reappear again. No He did not say when but He said He would disappear.
So we are working on this mission of love and peace everywhere in the world. I am the chief executive of this organization, my name is Younus AlGohar. I am responsible for this mission.
Q. You have publicized that an asteroid is going to hit the earth in next 25 years or so, why are you propagating it?
Yes, an asteroid, we have publicized about it, an asteroid is coming towards planet earth and it is to hit this earth and that would be the final day of this earth and the scientists of NASA know about it they have also spoken about it you can find it on their website. So we are propagating if humanity wants to save themselves from this destruction they should draw themselves towards God. Whatever God they believe in and bring divine love in their hearts, may be if they do so God will cancel his plan.
Yes we are trying to preach to people that if they draw themselves towards God and they bring divine love in their hearts, may be God then become pleased and he cancels his plan of destruction, there is a remote possibility that he might do so.
Q. What is your religion, as people of different religions are members of MFI?
Our religion…we believe in spirituality, we think love is the best religion.
I understand what you mean, people come to us and we let them adopt the way of worship according to their religion. If somebody goes to a temple we ask him to go to the temple but at the same time they should also learn spirituality so that love of Bhagwan can come in their hearts. If somebody goes to Lord Buddha’s temple we encourage them to do so but at the same time we also tell them to bring love in their hearts and learn spirituality. So everybody, the member of every religion can perform worships according to their religion. We only preach divine love; we only talk about spirituality, we only advocates spiritual sciences through which they can obtain divine love. This is spiritual science, we talk about spirituality, we talk about love and this message is for every religion and they can adopt the method of worship according to their religion. We are not talking about the performance of worships by body, we are preaching the performance of heart, how heart can get enlightened and absorb God’s love, so it has nothing to do with the physical performance of the worship.
I have told you people of all religions belong to us and we tell them to practice the form of worship which their religion teaches them, right. So we are group of many religions, so there is no physical worship involved prescribed by us, everybody is encouraged to perform physical worship according to their religion, that’s what I said.
Q. Where is your Head quarter?
Head quarters are in England.
Q. Do you advise your members to perform any particular physical worship?
As I earlier told you that we talk about spirituality and divine love and people of different religions belong to us, so they go to their own churches, right we do not propagate physical form of worship, so all religions come for spirituality, we only preach spiritual sciences, enlightenment of heart, no physical worship is prescribed by His Holiness Gohar Shahi, everybody is encouraged to carry out the method of worship which was prescribed by their own religion. So we don’t have any churches.
Q. Please tell us about the parents, wife, and children of His Holiness, what is their religion, where are they from, and how His Holiness Gohar Shahi was born?
Parents, what do you want to know about them, but they are from India according to the father of HH Gohar Shahi, he said it was not a normal birth, He was not delivered from the body of His mother, His mother was sleeping and she woke up the infant Gohar Shahi was laying on the bed and the room was enlightened and it was not a physical birth, this is what His mother said and His parents are from India, Delhi. His formal education? You mean education by school, education by school is lower than intermediate. You can say ordinary levels.
Yes He is married. His wife is Muslim and she doesn’t believe Him.
He used to stay in Pakistan but then he had to migrate to America so she left.
She (His wife) is from Pakistan. Five children, they don’t believe Him either, they are Muslims, four boys one girl, and they are in Pakistan.
Q. What resources does MFI have to operate its mission internationally; do you accept financial help outside from MFI?
We are an organization, we have funding system in the mission, there is a funding system among the members, so the members support the cause, we do not demand money from the public, yes money is not involved. The services from MFI are free, we do spiritual healings free, we give away literature free, every service we provide is free, we do not demand money from public.
I would like to tell you we collect funds from our members we do not collect funds from outside, yeah from our own members not from outside, because we have the organization all over the world.
Q. Could you explain the way you communicate with H.H.GOHAR SHAHI?
Disappearance does not mean He is absent! Yes we are in contact with Him by spiritual means. He has disappeared with His body. Yes His picture speaks from the moon. There are two spiritual sciences,…when the heart is enlightened… well that’s a lengthy question, it can not be understood without understanding spiritual sciences.
What actually happens, when your heart is enlightened, then your soul is enlightened, so what happens either seven souls in your body, and then soul of heart has four another sub-spirits, when they are provided with divine light they also come out in your physical form, they are made of light. There are seven souls in every human being, some of those souls have some other sub-spirits also like the soul of heart, there are another three souls are enclosed there-in, when divine light and energy is provided to them, they are born in heart, they take the shape of your body, they look like you, and they come out when somebody calls for help, they fly and reach him where ever the needy person is and they help him. So this is the spiritual presence, so what happens when you become united with God, God then gives one of his spiritual souls and he puts it in your heart when you have the soul of God in your heart then through your mouth God speaks and this is the spiritual connection, this is how the Lord G S can speak through the mouth of His representative.
Gohar Shahi also appeared in front of many people. Well, to some people He appeared in physical form and to some others He appears spiritually. Yes even after His disappearance so many people have vision, they saw Him. He visits and He disappears again. He has appeared before many people allover the world both physically and spiritually many times.
Seven souls in every human being. Have you heard about five senses, so those five senses come from five souls in the breast, there is one soul in the head which makes you think, which makes you intellect, and you have one soul in your stomach that is regarded as evil soul. So five souls in breast, one in head and one in stomach, there are seven souls. Five senses belong to five souls in the breast; there is one soul in brain that gives you intellect and there is one more soul in your stomach which is called Nafs, and it is the soul of evil. This is how everybody has the presence of evil in themselves. And this evil must be purified, why everybody is fighting each other, why there is hatred in the world because every body has evil in their stomach and that evil must be purified. When that evil is purified everybody becomes purified and they start to love each other.
Q. What is your ultimate Goal?
The ultimate goal of our teachings is that you become connected with God. You become divine, the ultimate goal of our teachings is that you become divine, you become enlightened and you live with God. After enlightenment God will live in you and after that you will live with God. Of course, in this life time God will come in your heart and you will see him, that’s what I am saying in this life-time, not there! And after that God will take you where he is.
Q. How do you see the end of this world, and sequence of events in future?
Future …ok, how will it start …Typhoons, Earth quakes, and eruption of volcanoes, they will kill a lot of human beings and then what will happen we will have third world war, the 3rd world war will kill most of the human beings, most of the human beings will be killed. And the after math of the war will be chemical release by the use nuclear and biological weapons will make people blind, will make people suffer with incurable diseases, world will become a misery, and then when people become blind, people become not being able to walk or talk ,people will then call upon Lord Messiah, upon Lord Buddha, upon Imam Mehdi, they will call help us, help us then the personality will reappear again to help the humanity and then there will be a fight between evil and divine, and this is how the world will end.
You see these things have started to take place. You have seen Tsunami two years ago which hit Indonesia, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, and now recently, yesterday there was a quake in the sea in Taiwan and Indonesia, and there were typhoons in America last year New Orleans, Houston and so many other places. So these things have started to take place.
Yes of course divine will defeat the evil and there will be ultimate peace in the world then but evil forces will be defeated. The world is coming to its end.
See according to every religion there is a ‘Savior’ right, so everybody proclaims their religious leader is the ‘Savior’ but let’s see who the ‘Savior’ is, the one who comes and saves everybody that will be the ‘Savior’ whoever that person is, if somebody says our religious leader is the ‘Savior’ we don’t disagree, ok, but let’s see when the time comes who saves the world? Only the one who has the authority and power that man, that personality who saves everybody that will be the ‘Savior’.
Q. Please explain about the Qalb meditation and Mantra of RA RIAZ?
I understand what u mean…let me tell you… the meditation of Qalb, right. Mantra of “RA RIAZ”, the philosophy of the Qalb meditation is that the name of God has light in it but light needs to be produced, right. We rub two stones together and it creates spark, when two clouds collide each other they create lightening, in a similar way when the name of God is repeated in a special method with the heartbeats it creates divine light / divine energy, so our Lord Gohar Shahi has taught us to teach to people how to synchronize the name of God in their heartbeats, right. So people of all religions, we say it to Hindus you can bring the name of ‘RAM’ within your heartbeats because saying is tongue, it’s good thing to mention name of God but it does not produce the light, we teach them how to synchronize the name of ‘RAM’ within their heartbeats and once the name ‘RAM’ which synchronize within the heartbeats it starts to produce light and that light enlightens the heart and it begins to have spiritual experiences and visions. So whatever name of God people call upon God, we ask them to synchronize the name of God that they use for God, not just ‘RAM’, ‘Bhagwan’, ‘Buddha’, or ‘Allah’ or any other name. Some people believe in ‘RA RIAZ’ so they do Mantra of ‘RA RIAZ’ when ‘RA RIAZ’ is repeated within their heartbeats it produces light and their heart become enlightened, do you understand… alright.
‘RAM’, ‘RA RIAZ’, ‘Buddha’, whatever name of god they want to use, not anyone name in particular.
There are many ways of carrying out mantra’s, some people, majority of the people do it with help of their tongue, right. Most of the people do it by word of mouth, but we say doing it by word of mouth does not produce the light, because it is meant to be done inside your heart with your heartbeats, because when it is done inside the heartbeats it produces light and you become enlightened. It should be done inside heart within your heartbeats, you know the ‘Tik Tok’ of the heart the beats, these beats are taught to take the name of God and once the name of God is synchronized within the heartbeats it starts to produce light and this is how the heart becomes enlightened.
Yes regardless of any name, not any one name of God in particular if somebody is a Hindu he repeats the name of God by tongue so we tell them that doing it by word of mouth does not produce light so bring it your heart
and we then teach them how to do so with the spiritual means and then the name of ‘Bhagwan’, ‘RAM’, ‘God’, ‘Rab’, ‘Ek Onkar’, whatever name of God in whatever language they call upon God. So we stress, our emphasis is that they must bring in the name of God in their hearts and it should be synchronized within the heartbeats.
Some people call upon God with ‘RA RIAZ’, some people call upon God with ‘Bhagwan’, and some call upon God with all other names, but HH G S says: every name which people use to call upon God, is worthy of great respect, all names in all languages. Buddha, Ram, Bhagwan, God, Rab, Ek Onkar, Jehowa, whatever they are all worthy of great respect.
Q. Do you and your members eat vegetarian food?
Yes we eat vegetables, vegetarian, and we encourage them to be vegetarian too.
RIAZ…this is the belief of those Muslims who believe in ‘RA RIAZ’ they say ‘R A M’ means Allah, Mohammad, and Riaz. Yes this is what some Muslims think those who believe in RIAZ they say R A M , because R A M, is a three-letter word Ra Aa Ma, so this is their belief of those Muslim who belong to ‘RA RIAZ’ they think like that.
Q. Something special about Sri Lanka?
Something special about Sri Lanka … we would like to request the government of Sri Lanka to support this cause of Divine Love.
