Seb-i Arus ceremonies that have become an annual ritual in Turkey The city is known not only for Rûmî, but also for its rich culture that blends all this historical heritage. With its history dating back to 7000 BC, Konya, one of the major cities in Central Anatolia Region of Turkey, has become “the cradle of civilizations and religions” having been home to numerous civilizations. Every year, visitors from all over the world who believe in Rûmî’s philosophy participate in the ceremonies held in Konya to commemorate and celebrate Rûmî Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī, who spread this loving, humanistic view to all of humanity. Rûmî, whose door was open to everyone, no matter what race or religion, has become a symbol of equality in the world in every sense. He said the rest was nothing but an image. He represented a life order in itself and believed in the “true essence”. Rûmî had many attributes such as a Muslim poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic, but he was much more than that. The Sufi poet, Muhammad Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī known to the world as Rûmî, who lived in the 13th century, is considered one of the world’s greatest Sufi philosophers and he was loved and respected by all religions for his poems and religious writings that embrace all humanity. The second ceremony will take place with no participation again, on December 17.
Due to global pandemic, the first ceremony took place on December 7 in Konya where Rûmî spent majority of his life. On the 747th anniversary of his death, Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī, who with his tolerance showed the path of love to the whole world by embracing people no matter what religion, sect and race they come from, will be commemorated with “Seb-i Arus” ceremonies.
