Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mevlânâ Celâleddîn Rumi is considered the foremost mystical Persian poet of Love and is the best-selling poet in the United States. This is fourth of four volumes of his quatrains (rubaiyat) translated by Nevit O. Ergin. Although selections of Ergin's translations of the quatrains have been published before, this is the first time Ergin's translations of all 1,867 rubaiyat will have ever been published in English only. Ergin's English translations are based on Turkish translations from the Turkish scholar, Abdülbakî Gölpinarli, who translated the original Farsi compilation housed in the Mevlânâ (Rumi) Museum in Konya, Turkey, numbered 68 and 69. Ergin does not translate word-by-word, but rather, catches the true essence of Rumi, and a group of international lovers of Rumi and his poetry have worked on this Rumi project for more than seven years. Volume 4 contains the final quarter of the 1,867 quatrains. For more information about Ergin and the project, visit ReadingRumi.com.
Download or read book The Rubais of Rumi written by and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-07-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English translation of the rubais of Rumi • Presents 233 of the most evocative of Rumi’s 1,700 rubais • Shows that the mystical embrace is the way to directly experience the Divine Rumi is well known for the over 44,000 verses that appear in a 23-volume collection called the Divan-i Kebir. Yet Rumi also composed 1,700 rubais, short aphorisms and observations, whose depth and message belie their brevity. The form of rubais first became well known through the 11th-century collection The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. But unlike Khayyam, who like most poets would sit and carefully craft each word, Rumi would compose and speak his poems through the spontaneous “language of poetry” that poured from his lips as he traveled the streets of Konya, Anatolia (present-day Turkey). Very few of Rumi’s rubais have been translated into any of the languages of the contemporary Western world. Now, Nevit O. Ergin, the translator of the complete Divan-i Kebir, and Will Johnson present here 233 of the most evocative of Rumi’s 1,700 rubais. Rumi’s poetry expresses profound and complex truths in beautiful yet simple language. He reveals that by going deep into the interior of our heart and soul, we can arrive at a place in which we once again merge and connect with the divine. This mystical quest, Rumi contends, is the birthright of us all. Anything less than a complete dissolving into the world of divine union will not provide the satisfaction and peace that we all seek. The simple, yet profound spiritual truths and visions contained in The Rubais of Rumi lead the way to the path of reconnection to the direct energies of God.

Book excerpt: "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the wodd. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." -Rumi Rumi, born in 1207, is often compared to Shakespeare for his outpouring of creativity. Today he is recognized not only as a great saint but also as one of the world's great poets and his work are recited, chanted, set to music, and is used as inspiration for novels, poems, music, and films. Rumi's ecstatic poems have sold millions of copies in recent years, making him the most popular and the best-selling poet in America. Globally, his fans are legion. From existential angst to love, sex, and loneliness; from belonging at physical and spiritual levels to morality and religion; contradictory human emotions and impulses-no stone is unturned in Rumi's poetry. Of course, part of his popularity comes down to the quality of his work. His poems are beautifully structured and incredibly well composed: compacting multi-layered ideas and often interpreting the complexities of the world in a form of poetry. Equally important is his universal message, which transcends time and culture. The transformative moment in Rumi's life came in 1244, when he met a wandering mystic known as Shams of Tabriz. Their vital connection as teacher and pupil, friend and beloved, is one of the world's greatest spiritual love stories. Remembering his first encounter with the man, Rumi wrote, "What I thought of before as God, I met today in a human being." When Shams disappeared, Rumi coped with the pain of separation by composing joyous poems of reunion, both human and divine. He wrote three thousand love songs and two thousand rubaiyat (four-line quatrains). He also wrote in couplets a six-volume spiritual epic, The Masnavi. The present book is motivated by a love for Rumi as philosopher and poet and the scarcity of direct translation of his poems to English poems by a Persian native. Of course, there are already some excellent books, which are well known and well written. However, most of them are not poem-to-poem translations to an everyday English.

Book excerpt: "This volume of translations of another of the major figures of Persian poetry brings the same qualities of poetic skill and scholarly precision to the task. It traces the changing and sometimes challenging relationship between the scholarly Rumi and the unpredictable dervish Shams, who suddenly appeared in his life, and through it the deepening of Rumi's experience of love and his insight into mysticism. We also get occasional glimpses of Rumi the man and a sense of the times in which he lived.

Download or read book The Forbidden Rumi written by and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-02-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first collection of poems translated into English from the forbidden volume of the Divan of Rumi • Presents Rumi’s most heretical and free-form poems • Includes introductions and commentary that provide both 13th-century context and modern interpretation After his overwhelming and life-altering encounters with Shams of Tabriz, Rumi, the great thirteenth-century mystic, poet, and originator of the whirling dervishes, let go of many of the precepts of formal religion, insisting that only a complete personal dissolving into the larger energies of God could provide the satisfaction that the heart so desperately seeks. He began to speak spontaneously in the language of poetry, and his followers compiled his 44,000 verses into 23 volumes, collectively called the Divan. When Nevit Ergin decided to translate the Divan of Rumi into English, he enlisted the help of the Turkish government, which was happy to participate. The first 22 volumes were published without difficulty, but the government withdrew its support and refused to participate in the publication of the final volume due to its openly heretical nature. Now, in The Forbidden Rumi, Will Johnson and Nevit Ergin present for the first time in English Rumi’s poems from this forbidden volume. The collection is grouped into three sections: songs to Shams and God, songs of heresy, and songs of advice and admonition. In them Rumi explains that in order to transform our consciousness, we must let go of ingrained habits and embrace new ones. In short, we must become heretics.
Download or read book Fundamentals Of Rumis Thought written by Sefik Can and published by Tughra Books. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work attempts to present Rumi to the English-speaking world and to shed light on his life as seen from within the Islamic mystical tradition. The knowledge presented in this work comes from Sefik Can, a great expert of Rumi and who used to be the highest authority, Sertariq, of the Mevlevi Sufi order in Turkey until he passed away on January 24, 2005. Two aspects of this work make it unique. The first is that the book was originally authored by a man who is ninety five years old and who has dedicated his entire life to the teachings of Rumu. Such a Mevlevi's view of Rumi makes this work greatly valuable. The second important contribution to the book is the foreword, which was translated by from the original turkish, written by M. Fethullah Gulen, a prominent Muslim thinker and interfaith activist of Turkey.

Download or read book Rumi Bridge to the Soul written by Coleman Barks and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally released in 2007, "Year of Rumi," to coincide with the poet's 800th birthday, by the pre-eminent Rumi poet Coleman Barks. In Rumi: Bridge to the Soul, Coleman Barks—who holds an honorary doctorate in Persian language and literature by the University of Tehran for his decades-long translations of Rumi—has collected and translated ninety new poems, most of them never published before in any form. The "bridge" in the title is a reference to the Khajou Bridge in Isphahan, Iran, which Barks visited with Robert Bly in May of 2006—a trip that in many ways prompted this book. The "soul bridge" also suggests Rumi himself, who crosses cultures and religions and brings us all together to listen to his words, regardless of origin or creed. Open this book and let Rumi's poetry carry you into the interior silence and joy of the spirit, the place that unites conscious knowing with a deeper, more soulful understanding.
