Music of the Spheres and Gulliver's Travels

I Know a Thousand Rumis, Poet-Mystics of the East

I know a thousand Rumis
the world needs to hear,
to be soothed by
the Voice of the Soul
that speaks through them all.

Hafiz, Shams, Sarmad, Kabir, MiraBai, Rabia, Tukaram, Hazrat Sultan Bahu, Baba Farid, Nanak, Tulsi Sahib, Surdas, Dariya Sahib, Dharam Das, Namdev, Ravidas, Paltu ….. countless are lovers of the Beloved.
