Despite being the home of one of the world's most ancient civilisations and cultures, very sadly today, modern Iran is one of the world's most misunderstood countries. The significant contribution of this great civilisation to the progressive development of science, technology, arts, architecture, literature, poetry and human rights and more cannot be over emphasised.
This confusion and misunderstanding is indeed tragic for all concerned. It goes without saying that a better understanding of Iran and Iranians is an essential pre-requisite for more harmonious international relations and the dialogue of civilisations for the common good.
In this blog I wish to bring to your attention a very timely and eloquent book (Spirituality in the Land of the Noble) whichhighlights how Iran has played an unexcelled role in influencing, transforming, and propagating all the world's universal traditions.
