The place is very silent and peaceful. Avoiding the traffic noise of Delhi, sitting here for ten minutes and listening to the prayers will make you feel wonderful. There are regular prayer sessions of 15 minutes every day. We all need peace and we all should love each other irrespective of creed, culture or any other social qualification.
