Program 50: The Everlasting is Born Tonight!
categories: Uncategorized
In this program I explore the concept of “birth” in Rumi’s lyric poetry as it applies to the entire cosmos. The convergence of the Winter Solstice, Christmas, and the Iranian Yalda celebrations indicate the symbolic significance of birth in many cultures. What does birth mean to Rumi? How does he put his poetic mark on this universal human experience?
