Who Is Mevlana

KONYA (MEVLANA)
One of the great moslem mystic movements was born in KONYA. This religion known to the west as the whirling Dervishes of Konya was founded by Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi , a mystic poet whose tolerance and humanity were quite expectional for his age. There was not a seeing of fanaticism in Mevlana.
“ Come” he said. “Come again whoever you may be come again, eventhough you may be pagan or fire-whorshippers.” As the symbol of the slicing of earthly ties, Mevlana thought the whirling dance accompanied by the relaxing sound of the thin flute.
