You are warmly invited to a night of hypnotic performance on Santur by renowned musician Sina Bathaie, along with Rumi’s poetry and introduction to a newly published book “The Hidden Teachings of Rumi”, which reveals a secret that has been hidden for over 700 years. This book is authored by Doug Marman, the author of It Is What It Is (Rumi’s Fihe Ma Fih), coauthored by Farzad Khalvati and Mitra Shafaei.

Book Description: Behind the poetry that Rumi created out of love for his teacher, Shams-e-Tabriz, is a deep spiritual teaching. Millions are drawn to the beauty of Rumi’s writings, but rarely are full poems quoted because they are so difficult to understand. They are seen by most as spontaneous expressions of love and spiritual ecstasy that seem to leap from one moment to another. However, there is a thread that weaves these moments into whole cloth. Each poem shares a poignant lesson about a spiritual teaching that can only be seen with eyes of love.
This is a free event open to the public. The book will be for sale in the event ($25 cash, tax included).
