Love, Light & Rumi

My point of view on the nuance of translating original texts and how the depth, meaning and context of words are often lost In translation.

To know Rumi, is to know the essence, the core of the Universe. And to know his words is to know the divine revelation, the ultimate reason for our existence – Love. But to understand Rumi, one should know where he comes from. What drove his philosophy as much as his poetry.This podcast is an attempt to walk that path.

War poems serve as a reminder of the tragedy of our times. In the segment Poetica, Episode 1, I recite 3 poems by poets from different parts of the world which were or still are in conflict zone.
