"For seven centuries the spiritual poetry of Rumi has enchanted, inspired and delighted people all over the world, and his popularity seems to only grow and grow.
In Rumi, Poet Of The Heart, leading translator Coleman Barks reads selections from the Sufi seer's poetry accompanied by musicians playing improvised traditional music. Huston Smith gives some interesting background on the whirling dervishes. Robert Bly and Michael Meade recite Rumi poems and provide insights on them, Deepak Chopra probes this Sufi mystic's great contribution to our understanding of the spiritual dimensions of love and narrator Debra Winger tells the story of Rumi’s life and art with passion and feeling.
Born in Afghanistan and relocating to Turkey when his father became the head of a Sufi learning community, this gifted young man took over from his father after his death, until his life was transformed by a mysterious itinerant dervish - Shams of Tabriz. The result: profound and prolific poetry that continues to illuminate and enthrall people from all over the world from all cultures centuries later.
A feast for the eyes, ears, heart and soul; Rumi: Poet of the Heart beautifully conveys the essence of Rumi’s incredible life, writings and loving, ecstatic soul." (Vimeo Description)
