A passionate tribute to Rumi: Ashwin's masterful introduction

I've been a devoted reader of Rumi since childhood, immersing myself in his works like the Dewan Shams, Masnavi Manawi, and Fihi Ma Fihi. With this deep understanding, I can confidently say that Ashwin has truly honored Rumi's legacy. Ashwin's introduction to Rumi is infused with passionate love, and I am profoundly grateful for his effort.
