The days of sema peformances : Everyday, hour: 19: 30

Mevlana Muhammed Celaleddin Rumi -( Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi ) is a great lover of the Divine Truth. He is the master of love . He himself is love . To those who asked what love was he answered thus.

"Be like me and know ; whether in light or darkness , until you have been like this you can't completely know love."

"Come, come, come again,

Whoever you may be,

Come again, even though

You may be a pagan or fire worshipper,

Our hearth is not the threshold of despair.

Come again, even if you may have

Violated your vows a hundred times,

Come again…"

- Mevlana Muhammed Celaleddin Rumi -( Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi )
