Swamini Samvidananda Saraswati, who was born in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, settled in Konya two years ago, following the “come” call of Rumi, whom she saw in her dream.
She spends his life as a monk in monasteries and caves. She teaches his students on philosophy and scriptures.
“Rumi’s love brought me here”
Saraswati said that “After seeing Mevlana in my dream about 8 years ago, I settled in Konya to understand his wisdom and to deepen and develop. I came to Konya in 2013 and I started to spend more and more time here every year until I settled down completely. Rumi’s love brought me here. I couldn’t do anything but that. I was desperate for his love.”
“His blessing is so great here”
Saraswati uttered that “Every time I come to Rumi’s tomb, I experience different and indescribable feelings. First of all, this shrine is the place where he stayed. His fertility is just as great here as when he lived in the 13th century. Rumi came to me with a dream. After that, my whole life changed. I immediately said ‘yes’ to his call and surrendered to him. My dedication and love developed spontaneously. The presence of Rumi made a great impact on my life.”
