Rumi and Shams' Silent Rebellion

Parallels with Vedanta, Buddhism, and Shaivism

About this book

This book offers a paradigm shift and fresh interpretation of Rumi's message. After being disentangled from the anachronistic connection with the Mevlevi order of Islamic Sufism, Rumi is instead placed in the world of philosophy.
