JALÁLU'D-DÍN RÚMÍ

The Masnavi or Mesnevi is one of the most influential works of Sufism, commonly called "the Quran in Persian". It has been viewed by many commentators as the greatest mystical poem in world literature. Its diversity, complexity and profoundness, the timeless themes of power, God, love and fidelity, together make the MASNAVI one of the most compelling and memorable spiritual works of world literature. Its author, the Persian poet and Sufi mystic JALÁLU'D-DÍN RÚMÍ (1207-1273) found his own religious order, the Whirling Dervishes. To many modern Westerners, his teachings are one of the best introductions to the philosophy and practice of Sufism. This biography explores his life, childhood & timeline and also his legacy. In the first part of this book, F. Hadland Davis describes Sufism and its principles. In the last part, you can find some major Rumi's poems. LARGE PRINT EDITION.
