The name Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi stands for Love and ecstatic flight into the infinite. Rumi is one of the great spiritual masters and poetical geniuses of mankind and was the founder of the Mawlawi Sufi order, a leading mystical brotherhood of Islam. Rumi was born in Wakhsh (Tajikistan) under the administration of Balkh on 30 September 1207 to a family of learned theologians
Escaping the Mongol invasion and destruction, Rumi and his family traveled extensively in the Muslim lands, performed pilgrimage to Mecca and finally settled in Konya, Anatolia, then and part of Seljuk Empire. When his father Bahaduddin Valad passed away, Rumi succeeded his father in 1231 as professor in religious sciences. His love and his bereavement for the death of Shams found their expression in a surge of music, dance and lyric poems. Rumi is the author of six volumes didactic epic work.
If there is any general idea underlying Rumi's poetry, it is the absolute love of God.
Are you searching for your soul?
Then come out of your prison.
Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the ocean.
Absorbed in this world you've made it your burden.
Rise above this world.
There is another vision..." - Rumi
