Program 19: Your World is New Energy

This program brings you many poems so you hear Rumi’s own voice as opposed to interpretations of it. These poems generate a dynamic energy that help Rumi break out of his old habits. He describes them as birds that break open the cage of his body to fly free. Once they are out, they are ours too. They make sadness leave, and tears go away . In his words, they help us wash our body and soul in ways of wisdom. We see/discover a new world being created around us every instant, a new world of our own.

Program 3: The Everlasting is Born Tonight!

Rumi often speaks about his visions, moments of elation expressed poetically. These are often uplifting poems with striking imagery. This program focuses on a night vision during which he compares the sky to a cosmic chamber where the Everlasting is being born.
