"Mevlana Celaleddin RUMI and Arthur C. CLARKE: Two Universal Men who have made it their lives’ landmark and touchstone to spread the Earth's past, present, and future universal values.

These two universal men who will light the way for all times have something in common: Mevlana Celaleddin RUMI (1207-1273) left this world on December 17, 1273, which He defined as "Seb'i Arus."* And Arthur C. CLARKE was born on December 16, 1917, a day before the 644th anniversary of RUMI's passing."
