Introduction

Robert Cathay: I first came across the poetry of the Sufi mystic Jalaudin Rumi in my mid teens. He went from there to the classical Advaita Vedanta tradition, the non-dual tradition of India. And after about 20 years or so, he was introduced to the tantric teaching of Kashmir Shaivism.Cathay: The adventure took me back to myself, but to myself in a new way. It took me to recognizing the nature of my being.
