In truth, there never was an end.

Almost eight hundred years later, the spirits of Shams and Rumi are still alive today,

whirling amid us somewhere...

I have been in Konya...

I have been to Konya in Turkey where the Mowlana museum is placed, which  also is the mausoleum of Rumi. Here are some pictures from the museum, Mevlâna Cultural Center and the tomb of Shams Tabrizi.



"Ya hazrate Molana"

The entrance

Masnavi in original (one of the books in the series).
Masnavi is a spiritual writing that teaches Sufis how
 to reach their goal of being in true love with God.

The Mevlâna Cultural Center, this is the world's
grandest and most modern whirling dervish hall.

"Either seem as you are or be as you seem"
in several languages.

"Mosque and tomb of Sheikh Shams Tabrizi"
