Resources
To understand Mevlana you should read his works. We suggest you start with his major work, The Masnavi at here or here.

As expected from a prolific writer as Mevlana was, there are many books that you may like to add to your library. On the right we present you a short list. Please feel free to search for more books and even related music.

Have a glimpse of what is waiting to be discovered by reading a selection of Mevlana's verses in Dr. Celalaleddin Celebi's Message of Friendship.

Mevlana's books are translated to many languages and are among the best selling books of their sort all over the world. At present, Mevlana, better known there as Rumi, is the "best selling poet" in United States of America. The Essential Rumi by Coleman Barks has sold more than a quarter of a million copies and is one of the top 1000 best selling books at Amazon. It is by far the largest selling poem book ever!
