Rooyesh Cultural Society had an evening with Mrs Flore Talebi (writer and researcher), who took us to the world of Ferdowsi and Shahnameh (The Epic of Kings) from the 10th century.
She discussed our identity based on the values and beliefs that Shanameh describe for us. The interesting point was how Ferdowsi invites us to value knowledge, logic, and nature as real true requirements for a dignified human life.
We had the chance of going to a past where kindness, peace, happiness, generosity, bravery, and congruency with nature was encouraged though thousands of poems written for us. We learned that language is the source for a culture that has to be kept alive. Being kind to self and others is what Shahnameh is about, as it reminds us how only a “good name” remains forever and nothing else.
Join us for our next meetings and learn with us. Every other Friday from 6.30-8.30.
Happy valentine Day everyone!
