'Rumi's poetry affects minds in a way that can only be called magical.'
Idries Shah
The Western world has recently been flooded with all things 'Rumi'. Yet many of the quotes attributed to him bear only a partial resemblance to the original words penned by the great Sufi master.
We believe that Occidental society can benefit enormously from Rumi's clarity and wisdom, and that his body of work is as important now as it has ever been.
For this reason we have commissioned native Persian-speaking scholars to craft entirely new translations, taking care to remain faithful to Rumi's own words.
And so as to allow Rumi's wisdom to be absorbed with ease, the readings are presented in their essential form, and are arranged by theme.
'Like a skeleton key that unlocks every door, the words of Rumi speak now as clearly and urgently as they did seven centuries ago.'
Doris Lessing
'He makes plain to the Pilgrim the secrets of the Way of Unity, and unveils the Mysteries of the Path of Eternal Truth.'
