Siyonist Medya / Banu Avar. Stephen Olsson: One Through Love: Jalaluddin Rumi and A Gathering Of Lovers. "This is a gathering of Lovers. In this gathering there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper schooling required. There is no master, no disciple. This gathering is more like a drunken party, full of tricksters, fools, mad men and mad women. This is a gathering of Lovers. " -- Jalaluddin Rumi AD 1260 To Jalaluddin Rumi, the 13th century sufi poet-mystic, intoxication and particularly, "love," can only be understood in its divine, all-encompassing manifestation, a form of spiritual "yearning" which is familiar to all spiritual seekers.
On October 15th, 2011, we will be launching a new website called "One Through Love: A Gathering of Lovers," to remind people around the world that love (Askh in Turkish, Eshgh in Persian) is the singular force that underlies and connects all creation. One Through Love is a unique experiment, though not one without some precedent. A true Lover doesn't follow any one religion, be sure of that. Towards the Unknown Fields of Imagination: Nilbar Güreş.

Gülsün Karamustafa: Etiquette (The Taming of the East) By November Paynter | February 2011 Codes of etiquette, of good manners, politeness and of being 'proper', the do's and don'ts of a community, a society, a school or a household could be accepted as a given, a structure that is understood within the context of time and place. By their very nature, such rules of social grace within a culture are often considered to be innate, or at least instinctual and hence in the past went unwritten.
The first early conceptions of accepted etiquette that were noted down were court codifications. Later books on the topic began to be published in relation to good business policies, as markets and trade routes grew and became more established. A larger market for 'manuals' appeared only when travel became much more common and people preferred or needed to acquire locally accepted rules for dining, meeting and communication to ease themselves into an unfamiliar societal system. >> Photos.
