Whirling Dervishes Istanbul
Admission ticket included
A Whirling Dervish performance is a mesmerizing spiritual practice and ritual associated with the Mevlevi Order of Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam. It is most famously linked to the teachings of the 13th-century Persian poet and mystic, Jalaluddin Rumi. The performance is not merely a dance but a form of active meditation and devotion, symbolizing the soul's journey toward spiritual unity with the divine.
The Whirling (Sema):
The central act involves the dervishes (practitioners) spinning in repetitive circles, often for extended periods. This spinning is called Sema, which means "listening" in Arabic, referring to listening to divine inspiration.
