"Who is Mevlana?" Come, come again, whoever you are, come! Heathen, fire worshipper or idolatrous, come! Come even if you broke your penitence a hundred times, Ours is the portal of hope, come as you are." Mevlana who is also known as Rumi, was a philosopher and mystic of Islam, but not a Muslim of the orthodox type. His doctrine advocates unlimited tolerance, positive reasoning, goodness, charity and awareness through love. To him and to his disciples all religions are more or less truth. Looking with the same eye on Muslim, Jew and Christian alike, his peaceful and tolerant teaching has appealed to men of all sects and creeds. Mevlana was born on 30 September 1207 in Balkh in present day Afghanistan. He died on 17 December 1273 in Konya in present day Turkey. He was laid to rest beside his father and over his remains a splendid shrine was erected. The 13th century Mevlana Mausoleum with its mosque, dance hall, dervish living quarters, school and tombs of some leaders of the Mevlevi Order continues to this day to draw pilgrims from all parts of the Muslim and non-Muslim world.Whirling Dervishes The "dance" of the Whirling Dervishes is called Sema. Sema is a part of the inspiration of Mevlana as well as part of the Turkish custom, history, beliefs and culture. Sema represents a mystical journey of man?s spiritual ascent through mind and love to "Perfect." Turning towards the truth, his growth through love, desert his ego, find the truth and arrive to the "Perfect," then he return from this spiritual journey as a man who reached maturity and a greater perfection, so as to love and to be of service to the whole of creation, to all creatures without discrimination of believes, races, es and nations. can akın mr akin şair poet dichter poeta поет сăвăç bardd digter ποιητής poète 诗人詩人 poetry şer poesie 詩歌 詩 poésie poesía photograph fotografie fotografische bild 相片 foto בילד fotoğraf مايكروسوفت أوفيس باوربوينت microsoft powerpoint slayt slideshows slide 維基百科 自由的百科全書 youtube video turkey türkei turquie turchia turquia exhibition ausstellung mostra exposición Mevlânâ Celaleddin-i Rumi Mövlana Cəlaləddini Rumi Mevlana Dželaludin Rumi Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi Jalal ad-Din Rumi Dschalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi Dschalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi Jalāl-ad-Dīn Rūmī Yalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi Ĝalal-ed-din Mohammad Rumi Jalal Ud Din Rumi Gialal al-Din Rumi Celaleddîn Rûmî Dzsalál ad-Dín Rúmí Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi Jalal ad-Din Rumi Dżalal ad-Din Rumi Dżalaluddin Rumi Dżalal ad-Din Balchi Maulana Rumi Mevlana Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi Mawlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī Mowlana Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi Rumi Džaláluddín Rúmí Džálál ad-Dín Rúmí Muhammad Džaláluddín Chodávendegár Mauláná Chodávendegár Djalalu'd-Din Rumi Jalal al-din Rumi eller Jalâluddîn Mohammad-i Balkhî Jelaleddin Rumy
