Welcome
to Rumi Network
World's Longest
Running and Most Popular Online Destination for Rumi
(Founded 1988 in New York City)
Rumi
Network is dedicated to Rumi; the brilliant classical Persian poet,
mystic and philosopher. Rumi is the most prolific
poet in history and one of the greatest mystics and philosophers of
all time. He is well known for his incredibly moving poems and beliefs
in universal love, tolerance of religion and race, self-empowerment,
spiritual development and enlightenment. To learn more about his incredible
life and work read "Rumi's Untold Story" on our site.
Rumi
Belongs to the Whole World - He can't be Contained by a Single Religion
or Region
Rumi is a global force. Today, even his birth region can't claim him
since he is the national poet of 3 or possibly 4 countries. Therefore,
we are also focused on bringing Rumi's poetry and timeless message to
new cultures and languages. Over the years we have introduced Rumi to
many non-English speaking countries, such as Germany, Romania, Spanish
speaking nations and China, among many others. We have been offering
rights to Rumi poems and quotes in English and other languages since
1992.
Valentino
St. Germain (Shah Ram Shiva)
Rumi Network is based on the work of award-winning Rumi translator and
scholar, author, recording artist,
Ascension Master and teacher of advanced spirituality,
Valentino
St. Germain. Val
St. Germain,
who
publishes under the pseudonym (a yogic title) of Shah Ram Shiva,
is one of the original translators and popularizers of
Rumi. He
began interpreting the poetry of Rumi in the late '80s, from its original
Persian language and has been releasing books and presenting Rumi concerts,
talks and workshops in the US ever since.
The
Largest Selection of Powerful Rumi Quotes
We're very
honored to host the world's largest selection of the most powerful,
potent and popular Rumi
quotes. Currently at over 250.
We
Support Authentic Rumi Interpretations
For a few years in early 2000's Rumi became the most widely read poet
in America. Mr. St. Germain says, "I began translating Rumi in
1988, and publishing, sharing and performing his poetry in 1991. I never
thought that he would become so popular in the West in such a short
time." Due to Rumi's sudden popularity in the US, publishers rushed
to putout any book with Rumi in the title. Therefore, it's very rare
to find interpretations of Rumi that are authentic, since almost all
such books are written by those with no knowledge of the Persian language,
its culture and mystical traditions.
RENDING
THE VEIL, A Unique Book
Valentino
St. Germain's
aim has always been to provide authentic translations of Rumi's work.
For example his most unique and award-winning 1995 book Rending
The Veil: Literal and Poetic Translations of Rumi, provides 252
poems of Rumi is 4 versions. 1. Original Persian calligraphy. 2. Transliteration.
3. Word-for-word translation. 4. Literal, or close to the original,
English translation. Sample pages of this book are available here.
In
addition to the unique Rending
The Veil (a recipient of the Benjamin Franklin Award), Valentino
St. Germain's (Shahram
Shiva) translations and
interpretations of
Rumi have been published in several
books. His
latest books on Rumi are
Rumi:
The Beloved Is You
and Rumi's
Untold Story. Val
St. Germain's
Rumi
interpretations
are quoted and referred to in several hundred books in English and other
languages.
Valentino
St. Germain's
lyrical Rumi renditions are also available in two groundbreaking music
albums: "Rumi:
Lovedrunk" and "Rumi:
Love Evolve" an album of original songs and Rumi poems. Val
St. Germain
is a master Rumi presenter and the voice of Rumi for the 21st Century.
Rumi
in Today's Pop Culture
Rumi is very popular with the younger generations in the US. Beyonce
Knowles and Shawn Carter's (Jay Z) daughter is named "Rumi"
in his honor. Other musicians, Madonna and Coldplay, have done songs
about Rumi. For a while there was a feature film in development about
Rumi by the screenwriter of the Oscar-winning movie The Gladiator (David
Franzoni).

The
Ascension Prophecies:
The Secret Guide to Unlocking Your Superpowers and Mastering
Your Soul's Mission on the Path to Ascension
The
Ascension Prophecies is a masterclass, be prepared to experience
a shift. The Ascension Prophecies will shake your belief system
and tear away the veil of secrecy on the true power of you.
You are the savior that you seek and the god that you worship.
You will inhabit and fully absorb this message, of your limitless
self, by the end of this book.
If
you choose to take charge of your own destiny instead of being
a follower. If you want to find out what's under the surface
and discover the real meaning of things instead of being swayed
by the mainstream at all times. If you dust your belief system
from time to time and reevaluate your likes and dislikes. If
you have managed (or seriously trying) to undo your childhood
programming. If you're hungry for wisdom and to push yourself
higher at all times. Then this book is for you.
Although
the terms self-empowerment and ascension are commonplace in
the world of personal and spiritual growth, very few actually
understand the process or even desire it. Real spirituality
is not depended on any base religion. Real spirituality is not
about submission, it's about self-empowerment. This is a key
secret teaching in mysticism. Yet, all so-called spiritual movements
in the world are just an extension of some religion; demanding
a slave mindset from their followers to participate in their
doctrine.
It
is the intention and the mission of this book to cut through
centuries old haze of disinformation that has existed about
the true power of the self and real spirituality, and to inspire,
guide and help you to keep on expanding and ascending.

| Shahram

including Deepak Chopra, teach this method in their workshops.
Shahram
Shiva's guided group whirling has been featured on CNN, and

NY Open Center among many other universities and institutions.
He's worked with choreographers and stage directors for whirling
shows. Also performed and has trained dancers to whirl at New
York's Joyce and LaMama theaters. Furthermore he trained the

Rumi,
Thief of Sleep:
Quatrains from the Persian
(Hohm Press)
This paperback with a foreword by Deepak Chopra,
contains selections of the best
of the English translations
that appeared in Shahram Shiva's award-winning book Rending the Veil.
“In
Persian, there are four levels of friendship each relating
to a degree in closeness and intimacy: Aashenaa (to know someone
casually), Doost (a close friend), Rafeegh (your best friend)
and Yaar (your inseparable lover). However, these levels are
independent of the type of physical connection you have with
someone. These degrees of closeness explain your deep soul
connection with another being; your spouse, therefore, may
only be your Aashenaa, or you may have a perfect platonic
relationship with a Yaar. Some mystics measure their intimacy
with God and the Beloved by using these levels. For RUMI,
the Beloved and Shams were one, and both (as one) were his
Yaar. That could explain why Rumi’s verses are being dubbed
“love poems.” Should they be anything less?”
From
the Introduction by
Shahram Shiva
|
“Words
can heal, they can transform our lives and bring joy, meaning
and purpose. Words can bring us closer to God. Such are
the words of Rumi. In Thief of Sleep, Shahram Shiva (who
embodies the culture, the wisdom and the history of Sufism
in his very genes) brings us the healing experience.”
Deepak Chopra
author of How to Know God and
several NY Times Bestsellers
|
A
book of verses of Rumi by an award-winning translator and
poet. This selection catches Rumi in a rare mood and these
are some of Rumi's most passionate and heartfelt expressions,
each poem resonating with the intensity and fire rarely
seen in English language before.
Shahram
Shiva says, "Rumi--I am constantly reminded--is a miracle.
Everything about him is absolute magic. Poetry in perfect
rhyme and meter poured out of him as he whirled for hours
on end, or as he fell into various states of ecstasy and
rapture. There is music, rhythm and breath in most of his
poems in Persian language. In my work as a translator I
try to bring out some of these nuances. I try to pay a special
attention to Rumi as a Persian mystic, and to the origin
and the method of the creation of these timeless, sublime
and always magical words."
|
"...These
verses are not just meant for the libraries or the classrooms
of academia. They are meant to be recited by human lovers
and lovers of God. The passion of Rumi expressed in this
book by Shahram Shiva will restore the exultation of spirit
in your Being. This passion is holy and it will heal you..."
Deepak Chopra
author of How to Know God and
several NY Times Bestsellers

Shahram Shiva's CD LOVE EVOLVE is catching the world by storm. It is
an album of original songs & Rumi inspirations. This is the 2nd

Things come to us at the right time, and that is when this music
came to me. When I was ready to hear it, accept it, know it, resonate
with it, evolve with it and become part of it. I'm sure this music will
also come to many of you who are ready for it, you with a beautiful
and "progressive heart" as Shahram so eloquently puts it.
Laura Sullivan
Pianist & Composer - 2014 GRAMMY winner
>> I enjoyed listening to your album, "Love Evolve."
You have a great voice for sure. I found your work to be very thought
provoking yet enjoyable to listen to. It was interesting how your voice
(deeper vocal register) was contrasted by the higher female vocalists.
Well done there!!! The rhythmic element provides that visceral reaction
with the help of the electronic effects setting up a pleasing atmosphere.
The lyrics got me thinking though. Thank you!
Leonardo Le San

I downloaded Love Evolve from iTunes. It's cool because I can listen
to it right on my iPhone. It's actually more jazzy and psychedelic than
I realized at first. Great mystical lyrics, hypnotic vocals with some
futuristic touches... But the flute and drums keep it earthy. Very danceable.
Really nice!
