Roshan Institute for Persian Studies at the University of Maryland is concluding its Fall 2014 public program with two cultural events in early December. On December 3, Shahla Nikfal and Bahram Sadeghian will give a special performance of classical Persian music entitled “Persian Music Event: Ghanoon, Daf & Vocal Performance.” On December 5, Shefalika Gandhi (Princeton University) will present a lecture on the “Use of Rumi poetry in modern mindfulness practices.” This presentation will include readings of Rumi’s poetry, which captures the mechanisms of mindfulness with a profound simplicity, and reaches across cultures to highlight our shared human experiences.
