"Beyond the seventh sphere lies the endless realm of whirling. You belong to the whirling and the whirling belongs to you." - Rumi
Celebrate Rumi, the 13th Century Sufi Master, poet and mystic guide, who lived and taught in Konya, Turkey. His initiatory poetry continues to open humanity's mystical heart and awareness. Rumi called his transition from the earth his wedding with eternity. People from all traditions came to honor him on this day in the 13th Century. This celebration continues today globally.
Rumi embodied the presence on the earth of the Beloved. Initiated by his master, Shams of Tabriz, he awakened into divine love. Poetry spontaneously flowed through him while he was ecstatically whirling. Hidden within this timeless transmission is a very precise spiritual teaching for humanity today. The sema or sama is the prayer ceremony of the whirling dervishes of the Sufi Mevlevi Order. This cosmic dance of universal harmony opens the heart and awakens the soul.
