The city of Konya in today's Turkey is closely connected with the name Mevlana Jalal ad-Din Rumi. In the 13th century, the religious scholar Rumi lived in Konya, where he developed his mystical philosophy, a particular direction of Sufism. Mevlana means translated "our master". The Mevlevi order and the "dancing dervishes" with their meditative turns to mystical music still refer to Rumi today.
