Rumi: The Mystic Poet of Love and Spirituality
Rumi’s Early Life and Spiritual Journey Rumi was born into a family of scholars and mystics. His father, Baha al-Din Walad, was a well-respected theologian and jurist, whose teachings greatly influenced Rumi’s early education. Due to the Mongol invasions sweeping through Central Asia, Rumi’s family migrated westward, eventually settling in Konya, in present-day Turkey. It was here that Rumi established himself as a scholar and teacher, following in his father’s footsteps.

Torch Bearers-II
Part-II [1]. A story is told of Guru Nanak that, in the course of his travels, he came to a village. Besides him, his disciple, Mardana, also came to the village. They wanted to stay there for the night. But the villagers were rude and inhospitable, and would not let them stay anywhere in the village. So Guru Nanak and mardana were forced to spend the night in the open. As they turned away from the village, guru nanak said “I pray that the people of this village may always stay in this village.” Mardana was somewhat puzzled at this, but said nothing.
