Prologue by Loreena McKennitt/Quotes from Rumi

This song is boundless love...xxx 

[BenReisman]

If you are truly interested in Rumi and Sufism I recommend you to search on google for:

Sufi for a Month.

Sufi for a Month is a spiritual and cultural immersion experience into the sufi way and the universal spiritual teachings of Mevlana Rumi. A very unique experience....

[Ankebut89]

Mevlana (Rumi) was a great islamic teacher....he loved ALLAH more than everything else.

[phr34kyy]

@Ankebut89

This is Celtic music and culture, Anatolia and Turkey along with its arab muslims are on Celtic soil.

Galatia , Armenians and Persians of Persia (not Iran and its Arab muslims) are like Hindu's of India much more then welcome in Scotland and other Celtic nations, just any and all people of Celtic origin, Northern Italians, French (Auld Alliance / Gaul) the Swiss (Helvetii) and the Canada and so on.

I pray the day that Celts all over embrace one another again and come together of old.

have many good days, Mty Friend!

humble me

[SirianKings]

Don't argue.

If you want to know where Rumi's from, just Google Balkh, and have a look at the map.

[MsAKSfan]

WOW... this is so really fine! Thanks, Ann... and thanks Mermia for sending it to me!

[Bohochique1]

yeh meant to comment on it myself but the vid hypnotised me!!!.. me forgot..ur welcome and thankyou for ann19oct for uploading :)

[jop710]

@thecollectiveconcept

These are his books that I wrote here, all of them are in Persian which is Iranian's language. may I know which book is in Turkey? Balkhi, Moalana or Rumi just passed away in Turkey, e.g. many people live in other countries and they may pass away but it will not change their country of origin. please read the history and don't change it.

[Ronluther48]

Being angry about what people called the dirt Rumi walked on so many years ago

dismisses the message, the spirit the soul of Rumi. Look for peace, find peace;

look for angst & anger; be angst & anger.

It's a choice.

[aslizz]

@jop710 rumi are the ppl who r from anatolian roman heritage cities (todays turkey). Why did he became rumi and not farsi anymore? Cause he wasnt farsi anymore. he is ours, not iranians

[LatifAhmadi]

Mavlana Muhammad Jalal ud-Din Balkhi "Rumi".

[zzusecars]

Absolutly beautiful selection of Rumi's peoms. And mat i remind every one that Maulana was of Bactrina decent (Modern Day Afghanisatn) and afghanistan was a name given to bactrians at the time of Anglo-Afghan wars. And as far i know afghanistan was part of the persian empire but the name bactria( or Bakhtar in dari) was always used to describe this rugged region. Additionally Balkh was the birth place of Zorashtara (the founder of zorashtrianism and Rumi's grand father was not a zorashtari

[RanaQuetta]

Dear zzuse, thanks for your comments and bit of history, But this does not mean RUMI world is limited. HE is beyound boundries, Beyound your imagination. peace and love.

[gianka9574]

[sdmcnca]

This is what I needed to see tonight. Thanks!!! When I deploy out to sea Sept 2009 for a seven month journey, I will sway to sleep in my berthing on the high seas to Loreena McKennitt.

[BeteaMaia]

It has fallen into the depths of my soul!!!

Somewhere there it will find my heart.

And the combination here ist realy amazing.

[pamd00]

[shirleey1969]

Wonderful combination between music, pictures and Rumi!

hugs from my heart...

[rahmama2]

Very nice! Love rumi @ McKenna. Good combo.

See

Rahmama2 for more rumi videos.

[sassafras12341]

This song is very relaxing, it puts the mind to rest.

[ketinunkantim]

And indeed sayings, of course, driving us to such a sensibility needed to actually feel it inside our self.

Thank you.

[ketinunkantim]

Life is a pleasurable, and peaceful, celebration, that composition sound/images brought to my mind, specially at the dancing men.

[wizzard1956]

people who dont like loreenas music , can listen to what they prefer , i dont relate her music to the political climate of the world , she, s a singer , a performer , a artist and a damn good one at that , besides I love her music, . . . .

[CNlyrical]

This gentle composition of lyrics, pictures and music softens my heart.

[13aquarela]

thank you! i apreciate this work.

Salud!!

[ppaattaarr]

Bayılıyorum bu kadının şarkılarına.Kelt kültürünün en büyük temsilcisi bence.Ayrıca yalnızca temsil etmekle kalmıyor,bir de bu eşsiz kültürün tanıtımını tüm dünyaya yapıyor.Eşsiz bir kişilik.

Türkiye'den sevgilerimle.

[ketinunkantim]

Uma música assim, se fosse inacabável ainda seria pequena....

[josiaspereira]

a loorena tem um profundo conhecimento mistio o que aaba assustando essa sociedade hipócrita e vazia

[ketinunkantim]

The more I listen to musics, like this one I didn't even know was Loreena's or the name, just found it curiously upon her name and an unknown title (to me), the more I come to the conclusion that beauty is something forever endless. Although ignorant of the above said, I had that lovelly song in my memories. Good ones, and ... maybe at a close friend's home.

Thanks for sharing

[brownunicorn1]

fuck hadijiz, hell awaits u u fucking cunt. your afterlife will be sad. ull walk the earth and can do nothing but suffer. asshole

[lillmissbaaadasss]

oh wonderful video! i loved it! this is also one of my fav songs hehe i love to belly dance to this song very sensual thought pervoking song!

[hircanus]

Thanx for the quotes, Ann. Im a great admirer of Rumi, and it was an utmost pleasure to read them...Some of them give me shivers actually.

[Javinax]

What kind of a comment is this? You are an embarrassment of Aryan people, and no Aryan religion would be so intolerant as you show yourself to be with those ignorant words. Go hide yourself under the ground, for your stupidity shames me.

[didiradev]

nice video

beautiful music

thanx

[queenzillest]

amazing track so relaxing

[miguelfg]

perdon alguien me puede decir cual es el titulo exacto de esta cancion y de que disco

es preciosa

gracias

[sahbaamjadi]

like it. Very much like it...specially d combination of pics & d harmony goes pretty well... d choice of shapes & colors was resembeling d Chakras 2 me & d Sufi whirling kind of referring 2 "higher-self," the light, d unity within an individual & universe as a whole...somewhere, sometime that I dont remember, I also heard "The God is Music " or music is God...(backing up d arrgument w/ string theory...)....anyways, was those choices intentional(in the clip) or Am I the only1 felt like it?!

[theottomanempire]

He was born in Afganistan,but he was write all his idea in KOnya Turkey,in persian langage,cause at this time all turks wrote in persina,like occidantal countries latin.

[RedEyed123]

he was born in Balkh, persia. so he was Iranian.

Iranians are the real persians

[meedow99]

He was no Iranian, as the term never even existed until relatively recently. Also, the region he was born in is part of present day Afghanistan. So if you *were* to attribute a nationality to him, it would be Afghani.

[meedow99]

As I recall, the peoples and tribes of Afghanistan had their own distinct culture. Of course there were/are Persian influences, as there are influences from other neighboring regions. This was the region of his family, so to say that his cultural background, and even racial background is Persian seems odd to me.

If I am wrong, I'm sure you'll correct me, but please do so in a mature fashion.

[meedow99]

Also, the name Iran may have been in use previous to the nation states inception, but it was not a term for a nationality. If you mean its racial meaning then I would say that it is still an incorrect term for him.

[seanamico]

No matter what country you go to and how authentic they are and roots are connected you will have different people from each town to have differences between them. Parthians were from todays Afghanistan, yet they called them selves Persian & used the same name as before them why?

Indians from language to many customs & religion are much similaraties & they are also of the Iranian stock and many mixed with Dravidians, does it make them not a part of the Iranian tribes moved their still?

[jop710]

@SirianKings

He is right, Bakh was a part of Persia's (Iran) empire once.

[didiradev]

Beautiful!

LOREENA MCKENNIT! i love her!

[BecomingThePath]

A sufi. A saint. A poet.

[Alex631210]

I dunno ....but I talked to some saint..I never saw such a smart person...

[pedros3131]

What was Rumi?

[khiljiauto]

rumi was a islamic mystic poet in 12 century. Google him. Born in today's afghanistan. At that time was persia.

[tomas6750]

Beautiful!

[VOMITHEXED]

Beautiful video! It captures the essence of the song perfectly.

[mamoodh]

I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as plant and rose to animal, I died as animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar With angels bless'd; but even from angelhood I must pass on: all except God doth perish. When I have sacrificed my angel-soul, I shall become what no mind e'er conceived. Oh, let me not exist! for Non-existence Proclaims in organ tones, To Him we shall return.

[00pur3love00]

Oh , how soulful and amazing .....

[NimaSun]

Love this tune..

[quartercherries]

God, how wonderful.

[AzeriBulBul]

You only see the Beacon in the horizon. Peace and Love, for we are all children of the same TRUTH.

Hafez say:

Dar kharabat Moghan noor Khoda me-binam.

Vin ajab bin ke che noori ze kooja me-binam.

[AzeriBulBul]

through our individual prism or rather OUR OWN PRISON. Who knows, being a pure soul, may he could have reached the final destination irrespective of the route. For he had the ULTIMATE TRUTH in his site, he could see and feel it, he could talk to it and he could reach out and touch it. If he was guided by it, like a beacon on a beach, how important the route could have been. And that is beauty of ascending to the high level, for you become free of the worldly definitions, bounds and boundaries.

[forgotmypassword3]

I want an ultimate reality away from human perception

[AzeriBulBul]

what he gets from it and not what Rumi actually told.)) To say that only Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindus etc. (that too Islam, Christianity or Judaism of this day and age) can do this or that and can achieve one or the other thing is over simplification of creation, humanity and mankind. We only have faith but no knowledge, our views and belief are based not on knowledge but faith. So may be we should not decide what Rumi could or could not do, what he meant or did not mean for we look at him

[AzeriBulBul]

Different people with different level of education, understanding, religious back ground, different traditions, IQs, intelligence etc. etc. Yet every one of them comes back elated, satisfied. For every one gets what he/she can from it, depending on his needs, his capabilities, understanding and depending on what he is looking for. And that is the interpretation. ((That is why translation never works for the works of Rumi, Hafez, Khayyam etc., for the translator is like a filter, he speaks of

[AzeriBulBul]

Oh Javad; Many of us are Muslims and yet we have not reached where Molana reached. Not in this life and not probably in the next hundred lives. There is a beautiful prelude to the book by another Persian Mega Poet, Hafez. All type of people read Hafez or Rumi, an illiterate man in a far away village some where in Persia (or Persian speaking land), a peasant somewhere in a slum or a city and even a scholar of Persian language in a university. (and now people of different language).

[filmedj]

excellant

[chantdelouve]

Sublime

[AlabamaSoldier]

This is great. I love Gaelic music. The only problem is the music skips a little.

"After despair, many hopes flourish / just as after rain / thousands of roses open. / Surrender to the Almighty~ / and be led into life."

~ Jelaluddin Rumi

Thank you so much for this beautiful quote; it's just what I needed to hear today. I live outside of Durham NC; where are you? * * * * *

[shellymf]

[afghanlover5321]

[Wiligot]

I agree,Mevlana-Rumi,was from an Indo-Iranic descent,it is clearly known that his grandfather was a Zaratustrian ( Zoroastrian is a greek word )

[Ahenk1980]

[xXxSocorroDovesxXx]

Beautiful

Thankyou Ann

[foreverforgiving]

This is very beautiful. Thank you for it. I'm only sorry to see "religious" quarelling in the comments. It's awfully difficult to imagine that Rumi would be pleased - "Souls open, like suns, and link with one another."

[EVANGELISITA2010]

linda cancao...amei.

[NimaSun]

It was even more religious back then. So ANYTHING with value had to have the stamp of Islam on it, otherwise it wouldn't have survived.

[observea]

By the way Rumi (read like Roomy)means as word "Rum's" in turkish. And the word Rum refers to Byzantine Empire. As you know Byzantine Empire's other name is Eastern Roman Empire. Due to Turkish languge and grammar rules it was imossible o say ROME and they called it as RUM (read like room).The word Rum is still used for the Greek people living or from Anatolia. But people the other side of Agean Sea called not as Rum.

[observea]

Another quote from Mevlana

You shall seem to be as you are

Or be how you seem to be.

(if you translate something to another language yo kill the soul of word unfortunately :( )

[observea]

and one another

"Come, come whatever you are,

it doesn't matter whether you are an

infidel, an idolater or a fire-worshiper,

Come, our convent is not a place of despair. Come, even if you violated your swear a hundred times,Come again.

[ann19oct]

this is one of my favorite quotes from Rumi :)

[javed00]

At that time Rumi's audience were muslims and this poem was for their consumption. What he is saying is that the creator is all forgiving and merciful and that you still can still change your way (to Islam) and that Islam is open to all.

[ann19oct]

Thank you for your comment, but i interpret Rumi's intent differently. And i believe he gave his words to anyone openhearted enough to really listen. And i think he would be delighted that many people of many faiths find inspiration and comfort in them.

[seekingnothingatall]

I think you are failing to understand Mevlana, Javed. The soul, the heart, this thing has no religion. It is what it is, and what it is is beyond anything of intelligence and rationality. Poetry doesnt speak to or from reason. I wonder to what and from where poetry speaks?

[javed00]

Seekingnothingatall, Rumi tried to seek the creator through his poetry and through the absolute love and respect that he could portray towards his creator. To get to the creator he had to break the shackles of reason and reality and travel into the world of spiritualism.

[javed00]

Rumi is saying you can become a muslim and become close to allah

[ann19oct]

Hmmmm. Can't you be close to Allah and do without the formality of labels?

[javed00]

you can't be close to allah without recognising him first. Allah is the perfect label for the perfect creator and there is only one creator. Allah the perfect definition and the only meaningful deity Rumi refers to. Rumi was able to reach the highest elevation of wisdom and knowledge only because of the Quran and had he chosen some other root I don't think that he would have attained that closeness to the creator.

[ann19oct]

We are all very fortunate that Rumi found his path, so we can now enjoy his wisdom. But Rumi's path may not be quite the same as yours, and maybe not the same as mine. What difference does it matter the path we take as long as we all reach the same destination?

[javed00]

only the right path will take you to the right destination! Any other path will lead you astray.

[ann19oct]

ultimately, they all converge...like the veins into one's heart.

[meedow99]

It's been a year since you have all made this post. I just wanted to add my two cents. Islam teaches that the religions of Judaism and Christianity are religions to be respected as religions of God. So, yes, there are many ways to meet the acceptance of God and it becomes a little more complicated when you consider instances where these religions were absent. I do have a comment about this line you wrote, "Can't you be close to Allah and do without the formality of labels?"

[meedow99]

This assumes that the title of Muslim or what have you, is merely a title and not a way of life. Understanding God and ourselves does not end at merely knowing He exists. Yes, there are multiple paths, but they are paths nonetheless.
