When Zully requested me to do a guest post, I wondered if I could add a spiritual take to one of my travelogues. Here is what I came up with.
I hope you enjoy it 
It was splendid. Rumi’s poems added an amazing aura to your post. Loved it
Great post Madhu, my Konya post remains one of the most read ones I have done so far.
Congratulations dear Madhu – you’ve done it again! Just one thing: that turquoise tiled tower, against the deep blue winter sky rivals the beauty of the poetry
Love the photo of the dancer!
I was excited that you quoted Rumi. Coincidentally, I pulled out one of his translated works a few days back. I agree much is lot in translation, esp when done by non-native speakers of the language.
I was unfamiliar with Rumi’s poetry, but absolutely love it! Great post.
This was an exceptionally-lovely post. I loved every quote; if only more of the people of our world had such beauty in their hearts! z
It was a wonderful post, Madhu, but they always are.
I have to say it is one of favorites
You did an excellent job on one of my favorites too.
Reblogged this on CIVILIZATION OF TURKISCHLANDS.
What a stunning and beautifully captured mosaic, dear Madhu! The photo-essay is very engaging, insightful and mingled with a serene touch of spirituality and humility in articulation. Very much relished each part of this post ! Madhu, you are such a gem of a photographer and human!
Lots of love, my dear doost-e- man (Persian for my dear friend!). xx
