KONYA - A concert was held and whirling dervishes performed a ceremony to mark the 799th anniversary of the birth of Jalal ud-din Rumi (Mevlana) in central city of Konya on Saturday.
An exhibition including works of painter Mutluhan Tas and sculptor Anar Eyni was inaugurated as well in Konya.
Turkish and foreign audiences showed great interest in the concert and the ceremony of whirling dervishes in Mevlana Museum.
Jalal ud-din Rumi, known as Mevlana, devoted himself to the pursuit of Sufi mysticism, in which he was justly regarded as the supreme master. He was the spiritual founder of the Mevlevi order of whirling dervishes.
His most important work, composed during the last ten years of his life, is the Mathnawi-i Manawi. This comprises about thirty thousand couplets in six books, a vast compendium of Sufi lore and doctrine, interspersed with fables and anecdotes. It is especially remarkable for its insight into the laws of physics and psychology.
