Come, come, come again ... whoever you may be, come again, even though you may be a pagan or a fire worshipper.
Our center is not one of despair.
Come again, even if you may have violated your vows a hundred times, come again
-from the teachings of Mevlana
"Who is Mevlana? Mevlana who is also known as Rumi, was a philosopher and mystic of Islam, but not a Muslim of the orthodox type. His doctrine advocates unlimited tolerance, positive reasoning, goodness, charity and awareness through love. To him and to his disciples all religions are more or less truth. Looking with the same eye on Muslim, Jew and Christian alike, his peaceful and tolerant teaching has appealed to men of all sects and creeds."

On the morning of the 8th day of hour tour, we went to Mevlana Museum in Konya. Mevlana's tomb is here and it is a very holy place for Turkish Muslims. They go to his tomb to pray for his intercession.
