Rumi: The Beloved Is You: My Favorite Collection of Deeply Passionate, Whimsical, Spiritual and Profound Poems and Quotes
This is a new release and lacks proper reviews at this time. If you enjoy Mr. Shiva’s authentic and beautiful interpretations and translations of Rumi please consider offering a review.
THE BELOVED IS YOU by longtime Rumi translator and author, Shahram Shiva, offers the reader a uniquely compiled collection of the most powerful and memorable poems and quotes of Rumi. This very special selection presents a cross section of the best examples from various themes that Rumi chose to express his teachings and share his unique spiritual growth process.
The Beloved is You includes exceptional quotes, quatrains and odes. Shahram Shiva has been sharing Rumi with the world for more than 30 years. He began translating Rumi quite extemporaneously, “like it was an old habit,” in New York City when he was in his early 20’s. He is the founder of Rumi Network and one of the original popularizers of Rumi. The Rumi we love today is based on the last 25 years of Rumi’s life. During that period came an outpouring of many thousands of incredibly concise and thoughtful poems on varied topics.
The Beloved is You represents some of Shahram Shiva’s all-time favorite poems and quotes. Rumi’s poems cover practically every possible theme. These themes include, deeply philosophical and mystical thoughts, drunken revelries, anti-authoritarian outbursts, light-hearted historical tales, simple life teachings, passionate love stories and more. Rumi was so prolific and adapt at creating verse that he was able to speak poetry at will.

1. Rumi’s Most Loved Mystical and Spiritual Poems.
2. The Power of Love. The Passionate Poems.
3. The Cult of the Tavern. The Drunken Poems.

This was such a bizarre experience.
1) Rumi is amazing.
2) I listened to a free version of this on audible and apparently it was narrated by AI???? (Lame af pls disclose that before the book starts audible) and so I was like listening to this brilliant soulful poetry read by a soulless toneless robot.
5 stars for the poetry
Negative 1000000000 stars for using a robot to narrate Rumi.
