Whirling Dervishes originate from Rumi, mystical poet and great Sufi master. Sufi’s seek a close bond with God through chants, prayers, music, whirling dances.
Dervishes perform an ecstatic dance called ‘Sema‘. A cosmic dance performed to express deep love and surrender to divinity. Represent solar system, planets revolving around sun. Immersed in their own micro-cosmos, creating an emotional world.
Absolutely elegant, ethereal.
