Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi was a 13th. century Persian poet, theologian and a Sufi mystic. Rumi's works are written mostly in Persian, though occasionally he also used Turkish, Arabic, and Greek words.

​Rumi was originally from the Balkh, in present-day Afghanistan. When the Mongols invaded Central Asia, Rumi along with his family and a group of disciples, set out westwards.

It is believed that during his migration to Persia (modern day Iran), Rumi encountered one of the most famous and mystic Persian poets, Attar, who recognized Rumi's spiritual eminence.

​It is then that Attar gave the young Rumi his Asrārnāma, a book about the entanglement of the soul in the material world. This meeting had a deep impact on the eighteen-year-old Rumi and later became the inspiration for his works.
 
A few years later, when Rumi met the dervish Shams-e Tabrizi; it completely transformed his life. From an accomplished teacher and jurist, Rumi became an ascetic.
​In fact, I have curated some of Rumi’s most cherished quotations in my book-

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
