Description
THERE is no controversy about Maulana (Arabic for Our Master) Jalaluddin Rumi being one of the very greatest saints and mystics of all peoples, as well as a Master of the Way to the Sufis. This book is a selection of anecdotes about his forbears and origins, his teachings and his associates, as well as his successors in what came, after him, to be called the Mevlevi School. This text is regarded as one of the five source books for material on this tradition: the others being the Mathnavi, The Divan of Shamsi-i-Tabriz, the Letters of Rumi poet and Fihi ma Fihi (“In it what is in it”).
