Conceal A Salvation Society No - Danielle Pays

SECOND EDITION: In 1976, few people had heard of Jelaluddin Rumi. In a stellar leap no one could have predicted, this 13th-century Islamic theologian skyrocketed into public awareness to became America's best-selling poet.

The story focuses on: former British pop singer and author, Reshad Field; Süleyman Dede, the sheikh of the Whirling Dervishes; and a group of young fervent seekers who invite Dede to their modest duplex in the Silverlake section of Los Angeles.

Fifty years earlier, Süleyman Dede shared their youthful passion when, just eighteen years old, he entered the dervish monastery in Konya, Turkey.
As a young man, Dede faced a life-changing event when, in 1926, President Atatürk banned all dervish activities in Turkey. As a result, Dede became a humble cook, serving soup to the poor from the monastery. All the while, Dede kept the flame of Rumi lit in his heart. His spiritual mastery went unnoticed until at age 74, Dede arrived in Los Angeles with a mission -- to plant the path of Rumi in the West.

The book's intimate recollections reveal how today's Rumi phenomenon began in the hearts of young people dedicated to Rumi's message of universal love. Bruce Miller draws from his personal recollections, candid interviews, and archival recordings to weave a deeply spiritual and equally wild memoir of the mystical magic and spiritual mayhem that allowed Rumi's message to take hold. As a teaching story, the book illuminates how the "sacred impulse" traversed across 700 years of history to inject an awakening force into America, Europe, and the world at large.
