Sufi saints's by jorgesanchez

Istanbul - Turkey, Istanbul The holy place was closed but the guard, noticing my interest in Jalaladin Rumi (Mevlana) and other Sufis, opened the door for me.

The dedication of the guard is an insight into the interest many people have in the work they do. I like the presentation very much jorgesanchez - Dec, 05 2007 06:12pm Horourke, the tombs belong to several Sufi saints, together with a son of one of them and his wife. In Konya (Turkey) I saw the beautiful mausoleum of Jalaladin Rumi (Mevlana) and spent a whole week, in December, to watch every day the Dervish Whirling dances in a stadium. He was born in Balkh, present Afghanistan, but migrated to Turkey. horourke - Dec, 05 2007 08:12pm Thank you. Using original names begins to recall for me the magic of reading children's tales of Persia in the library in our town on winter evenings more than fifty seven years ago
