All the links in this page have one thing in common: Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi. I will not describe who he is or what he did. He has the power to love people and generate love in heart of so many people over centuries. You can discover a lot about mevlana by following the links. But the great treasure remains to be his books and his rituals. Mevlanatoday continue to attract many people to Konya.

Rumi's Spiritual Banquet Special thanks to Hafeez for poem submission. Come to me each and all Raw, burned or baked Clothed or naked Poor or wretched Humble or bigoted Loved or hated Come ye all, tell me all Tell me your untold tale Of betrayal and separation Of longing and lamentation Of pain and affliction Of joy and adoration Of unity and affirmation Every secret you unveil Harken to the sound of the reed Resonating bliss and delight For a nexus firm and bright To the divine sacred light After separation and fright From the ghastly sight Of an unholy dogma or creed This reed is Rumi A gnostic well- aware Of life's hope and despair Of man's love and care And capacity to forebear The life of a solitaire No matter how gloomy This reed is Shams-eddin The Sun that cast glaring light Upon Rumi, day and night Like the spirit of a meteorite Piercing and glowing bright Transforming into an acolyte Of his disciple Jalal-eddin Disciple - master kindred souls Taking chances In love's trances In destiny's lances In reckless dances In joyful glances Brethren changing roles In the secret heart of heaven remain The ecstasy they evoke The envy they provoke The tradition they broke The tender words they spoke Waiting for the world to soak In thunderous rain The cosmic lightening will strike The words will fall like rain And spread across the plain Heavenly Love shall restrain Lust and greed insane The sacred purging the profane In East and West alike |
