The Persian Mystics: Jalalu'D-Din Rumi

Description

Rumi (1207-1273) was a Persian jurist and theologian best known for being perhaps the finest of all Sufi poets. His writings have been widely translated and remain especially popular in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Though written from a Sufi perspective, Rumi's poems on spiritual growth-here collected and edited by F. Hadland Davis and first published in 1907-cross all cultural and religious bounds, and can still be heard today in many secular and religious settings. The Persian Mystics: Jalalu'd-din Rumi includes selections from some of Rumi's most famous works, the "Divani Shamsi Tabriz" and the "Masnavi," as well as passages on his life and work, and the origin and nature of Sufism. FREDERICK HADLAND DAVIS is also the author of The Persian Mystics: Jami (1908) and Myths and Legends of Japan (1912), both available from Cosimo.

it does not matter where he lived in later stages of his life - he was born in Balkh (now Afghanistan, then part of medieval Persia)to a Persian speaking family

A Persian speaking poet, born in Afghanistan, lived and was buried in Turkey. His birthplace was part of the Khwarezmian Empire (not Persia back then), which was run by a Persianate Sunni Muslim dynasty of Turkic Mamluk origin.
All three countries of our day claim his nationality as theirs.
Davids says he is Persian. Ekenciz comes forward with Turkish nationality. Anagig hops on the wagon with good intent, I guess, and here I am mastering history and geography.
I bought the book itself believing Mawlana was a Turk and downloaded the digital version with the feeling that he might be more of a Persian guy. No difference IMO.
Stop the kiddie play. Please. And thank one of the uploaders first. I'm sure Mawlana would.

Mawlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Balkhī (مولانا جلال الدین محمد بلخى), also known as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī (جلال‌الدین محمد رومی), but known to the English-speaking world simply as Rumi,[1] (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian[2][3] poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian.[4] Rūmī is a descriptive name meaning "the Roman" since he lived most of his life in an area called Rūm because it was once ruled by the Byzantine Empire.[5]

According to tradition, Rumi was born in Balkh, in contemporary Afghanistan, which at that time was part of the Persian Empire.

The hometown of his father's family; however, some Rumi scholars believe that he was born in Wakhsh,[6] a small town located at the river Wakhsh in what is now Tajikistan. Wakhsh belonged to the larger province of Balkh, and in the year Rumi was born, his father was an appointed scholar there.[6] Both these cities were at the time included in the Greater Persian cultural sphere of Khorāsān, the easternmost province of historical Persia,[7] and were part of the Khwarezmian Empire.

His birthplace[8] and native language[9] both indicate a Persian heritage. Due to quarrels between different dynasties in Khorāsān, opposition to the Khwarizmid Shahs who were considered devious by Bahā ud-Dīn Walad (Rumi's father)[10] or fear of the impending Mongol cataclysm,[11] his father decided to migrate westwards. Rumi's family traveled west, first performing the Hajj and eventually settling in the Anatolian city Konya (capital of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, now located in Turkey), where he lived most of his life, composed one of the crowning glories of Persian literature and profoundly affected the culture of the area.[12]

He lived most of his life under the Sultanate of Rum, where he produced his works[13] and died in 1273 CE. He was buried in Konya and his shrine became a place of pilgrimage.[14] Following his death, his followers and his son Sultan Walad founded the Mawlawīyah Sufi Order, also known as the Order of the Whirling Dervishes, famous for its Sufi dance known as the samāʿ ceremony.

Rumi's works are written in the New Persian language. A Persian literary renaissance (in the 8th/9th century) started in regions of Sistan, Khorāsān and Transoxiana[15]and by the 10th/11th century, it overtook Arabic as the literary and cultural language in the Persian Islamic world. Although Rumi's works were written in Persian, Rumi's importance is considered to transcend national and ethnic borders. His original works are widely read in their original language across the Persian-speaking world. Translations of his works are very popular in South Asian, Turkic, Arab, and Western countries. His poetry has influenced Persian literature as well as the literature of the Urdu, Bengali, Arabic and Turkish languages. His poems have been widely translated into many of the world's languages and transposed into various formats; BBC News has described him as the "most popular poet in America".

HEY DAMN STUPIDS! ITS CLEAR LIKE SUNLIGHT! R U GRADUATED FROM AN ELEMENTRY SCHOOL? SURELY HE WAS PERSIAN! ITS SO CLEAR.
HOW COULD SOMEONE SPEAK, TEACH, LEARN, HEAR, TALK, FUCK ... IN PERSIAN AND HE BE TURKISH:)))))))))))))))))))))))

IF NATIONALITY & BEING CELEBRITY IS THE POINT FOR YOU ALL, OK THEN JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE THAT RUMI WAS TURKISH;)

It is because of the non-Persian goverment who rules in Tehran, that everybody from Turkey to Arabia can change the history and the biography of Persian heros an intoduce them as Arab or Turk. Because they have money and they can manage it. You could get a free CD as attachment of Time newspaper few years ago, which was prepared bij the ministry of (education or tourisme?) of Turkey. About Movlana a TURK(!!!) Poet, full of propaganda... and u see no reaction from Iran! Persian Gulf became Arabian Gulf (!!!), and again... No reaction from Iran's government... Only iranian ordinary people react, and fortunately Persins are nationalist, and that keep them alive, till a Persian government rules inIran. Until that time you have to expect such a funny things. I ll not surprised, if the say that Kuroshe Bozorg (The Great Cyrus) also a Turk, or indian of worse of all an Arab is!!!
Long live PERSIA!

FUCK THESE BASTERD GOVERMENT, THEY WHO RULE PERSIA ARE NOT PERSIAN ALSO! THEY ARE FUCKING ARABS!
BUT NOBODY LIVE FOREVER! THEY WILL GET LOST & THEN AFTER WE WILL TOUCH PERSIAN RUMI AND BREATH PERSIAN GULF;)
