Supposedly a first for India, the Sufi poetry of Hazrat Jalaluddin Rumi has been translated into Hindi by a woman mystic, Anandmurti Gurumaaji.
Mystica Music together with the Turkish Ambassador and Gurumaaji launched the album Rumi – Love at its Zenith last month in the capital. Transcending religion and creed, Sufism is “all about love”, says Gurumaaji, and “anyone who can love deeply or is overflowing with love can know and understand it.”
The new secular credo, anyone? Wonder if Abida Parveen will be looking over her shoulder anytime soon.
