Encapsulating the mystic vision of Rumi


The Concept Note:
The name Mawlānā Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhī better known as Rumi to the English-speaking world stands for Love and ecstatic flight into the infinite. Rumi (1207-1273), a 13th century Persian poet, Islamic jurist and theologian is one of the great spiritual masters and poetical geniuses of mankind and was the founder of the Mawlawiyah Sufi order or the order of the Whirling Dervishes, a leading mystical brotherhood of Islam.
Spirituality, rationality and morality co-exist in Rumi’s thoughts. In his system, God, the universe and humanity are embraced in a single all-encompassing vision, the vision of creative love.

Rumi perceived Nature as an entity that possesses wisdom and communicates with God, its creator. According to him Nature is articulate which only the enlightened mind could understand.
In his world of mysticism the religions across the world merge with one another. To him The Absolute resides in one’s heart.

Rumî comprehends the whole process of evolution in a grand system. He resorts to love as the fundamental urge that creates attraction and affinities: “All atoms in the cosmos are attracted to one another like lovers. Everyone is drawn towards its mate by the magnetic pull of love.” If cosmic love were not there, all existence would freeze and shrink into nothingness.

According to Rumi’s philosophy the malice between man and man and that between Natures is transient. What are permanent are the existence of creative love and the existence of Life as a whole. There is no religion greater than the religion of Humanity itself.

Thus right from the creation to formation to chaotic destruction the true self cannot receive spiritual guidance and nourishment if it's detached from the heart. Our inner self is the centre of divine love, faith, music and poetry, uplifting our spirit to realms above, for us to hear the tunes of the Gates of Paradise.

There are some significant personalities who with the help of their voice and breath, their love and excitement, and their promise for humanity always remain fresh and alive over the course of centuries. Time evidently fails to make these characters obsolete. Their thoughts, analyses, explanations, and spiritual messages, which will never be lost, represent, ever anew, alternative solutions and prescriptions for today’s social problems, in great variety and diversity.

Rumi is one such personality. He is a man of light—one who receives his light from the spirit of the Absolute, distributing this light in a variety of manners to everywhere. Despite the vast amount of time that separates his life from ours, Rumi continues to hear us, to share our feelings, to present solutions to our problems in a voice that is without equal. Despite the fact that he lived some centuries ago, he remains absolutely alive among and with us today.

In this visual extravaganza, Rumi’s mystic voice comes alive through the soulful voice of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Rahat, who comes from the great legacy of Sufi tradition, has carved a niche for himself in the global music scene as well. Here he is not just the singing enunciation but through the amalgamation of lush romantic harmonies, rhythmic complexities, and lyrical melodic passages, his voice is the protagonist depicting Rumi’s spiritualistic wisdom. The heightened sensitivity of Rumi’s verses find repletion through his magical voice. He is Rumi personified.


Rumi’s perception of Nature is expressed through the sentient and sonorous voice of renowned singer Shubha Mudgal. Her unique voice has created a tapestry that uses and warp and weft of the classical and the contemporary. The tumultuous and serene sides of Nature are delineated through Shubha’s strong, full-throated, power-packed yet detailed voice.

Rahat and Shubha together through this eclectic and esoteric composition symbolize the mystique man-woman milieu giving birth to the Single Being at the backdrop of Nature as perceived by Rumi.

Sonnet Lumiere in Kolkata

Life is a cycle of events, confluences and aberrations. Friends discovered, foes made, others lost. Precious time, wastes away. Glories created are forgotten as time elapses. Tears pelt for yesterday are dried in time for tomorrow, until all that remain are mystic, discordant memories of the undeniable yesteryear…

But memories can be refurbished. The haunting sounds of the past and flashback of images from yesteryears creating a delusion of phantasmagoria help to recall the forgotten days. And the past engulfs the present.

The Sonnet Lumiere show takes us back to the magnificent past …the past that we would all want to remember forever.

The spectacle talks about West Bengal, a land of overwhelming natural splendor, rich heritage, and culturally inclined people. It takes us to the time of the nawabs, the foreign invaders, the babus and zamindars and to the time of Bengal renaissance and the resurgence of Bengali intelligentsia.

The mystique light and shadow projection takes us inside the Hazaarduari Palace or the Nizamat Fort at the bank of the Bhagirathi River of Lalbagh. As the stream of light wends through the nook and corner of the palace designed by General Duncan Macleod we hear slowly fading gallop of the Nawab’s horse, as if he is coming back to his fort after a hard day’s trip. When we take a glimpse in the armory section of the palace we hear swords clanking as if a playful fight is going on between Alivardi Khan and his grandson Shiraj-ud-Daulah, the last Nawab of Bengal. The dulcet soulful tune played in Sarongi brings out the anguish of the long-lost forgotten past.

The eclectic luminosity takes us to the Church of Our Lady of Bandel, the oldest church in Bengal. Built in Doric architectural style of ancient Greece as the light takes us inside the grotto and the large

St. Augustine Hall a mystique feeling is created as we hear an enveloping broad spectrum of choir of Bach’s ‘Matheus Passion’.

The visual presence of Victoria Memorial, the pristine white colonial insignia reminds us of the days of the magnanimity of the British rule. As we pass through the museum carved with intricate details we hear classical Waltz and Mozart’s Sonata creating a typical high profile British elegance.

Light and illustration combined with suitable sounds creates an illusion of virtual Presidency College in front of us. Situated in College Street it is the oldest college of India. We hear the legendary national cry for freedom ‘Vande Mataram’ as we wend through Presidency campus as it was the hub of revolutionary activities and nationalist upsurge during the Indian freedom struggle. As the light travels through the corridors and staircases we hear young Derozio giving lectures to his students at Hindu College adjacent to Presidency.

The visual treatment takes us to Belur Math at the bank of river Hooghly. The religious abbey has an interesting structure that appears like either a temple or a mosque or a church from any angle. As we wend our way through he Ramkrishna Sarada Mandir we hear sonorous Vedic chants. As we glide past Swami Vivekananda’s two storied house and his cenotaph we hear resonance of Swamiji’s baritone voice saying “I have neither fear nor death; never was I born, never did I die; I never hunger or thirst. I am It! I am It!”, as if he is giving the famous speech at the Chicago summit.

Through usage of various world instruments, broad range of music from Hindusthani classical, Vedic chants to western classical, through treatment of voices, natural Folley sounds and creatively designed sounds conceived with inventively designed lights and illustrations we will present an evening full of mystique nostalgia. The glorious past will come alive through the 15 assorted sequences trying to capture the heritage of Bengal.

While creating the financial implication by implementing creatively designed natural and digital sounds combined with designed lights and illustrations we have conceived a significantly meaningful elaboration of Sonnet Lumiere~ the first of its kind Kolkata has ever witnessed which will be embedded in the audiences’ mind for a considerable time.
