The Sufi Dance - Whirling Dervishes, an important cultural and spiritual tradition among the Sufi group. Besides, this dance is a significant attraction to visitors and other outsiders because, to them, watching Turkish dancers spin is breathtaking. However, Rumi’s whirling dervishes is not just a source of entertainment for the devoted members of the Mevlevi Order of Islam. To them, whirling and spinning is a customary meditation practice. It is also a worship ceremony that aims to reach Karma, the source of all perfection. The dance is unique to dervishes because they let go of their ego and personal desires to get involved fully in the music. It seems easy to do when watching, but you need a lot of practice to be an expert. There is a long history of the origin of the whirling dervishes. The Mevlevi Order, a Sufi order whose origin is in Konya, was founded by followers of Muhammad Balkhi Rumi (Mevlana Celaddiin-i Rumi). Rumi was a Persian poet in 13th Century AD and an Islam theologian. The Mevlevis remembered their God by whirling. Whirling is moving in a circular motion in speed and force, resembling the Mevlevis dance. Dervish is another name for the Mevlevis Order. Therefore, since dervish danced by whirling, the dancers were called whirling dervishes. The Mevlevi Order was established 750 years ago, and its traditions are mostly related to the teachings of Rumi. Rumi’s other name is Mevlana, the most celebrated poet in Turkey and Iran. He is also respected in Sufi Islam. The Sema ceremony was characterized by the whirling and spinning dance, a characteristic of a Whirling Dervish. The dancers’ goal was to achieve a state of Sufism, which gives them inner power and peace to connect with the world. Whirling Dervishes was introduced 700 years ago by the Mevlevi Order of Islam, which was established by Rumi’s son, Sultan Veled, with help of Husameddin Chelebi. Sultan was an excellent leader of the Mevlevi Order, and his extraordinary leadership saw its growth and spread to other cities. For example, Mevlevi spread to countries like Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine. Before his death, Rumi met Shams al-Din of Tabriz, a mystic who changed his life. According to him, the mystic was a representative of perfection, and although he had a devoted group of followers, he started following Shams. Rumi’s students and followers watched him ditch his values and rituals in disbelief to follow Shams al-Din’s. They were angry and attempted to break the mystic’s hold over Rumi. The students succeeded by killing Shams al-Din in 1247, which affected Rumi and went into mourning. At the end of his mourning period, Rumi introduced new ideas about celebrating God’s love. And that was the birth of Sema ceremonies. The Dervishes dance in long white gowns and full skirts and cover their heads with tall hats. When they cast the tunic off during the ceremony, it is an indication that they are turning their backs on the world to draw closer to God. The sheikh of the dervish lodge wears a waist-length woolen jacket to represent Islamic law. The conical hat, which can be brown, grey, or black, represents the tombstones of their egos. In the early years of the Mevlevi Order, men and women gathered to pray, share spiritual conversations, and whirl together. Later, the men started isolating the women to dance separately, forming their groups. Things have changed, and today, only men can be whirling dervishes according to traditions. However, some places like Istanbul allow women to dance with men. 🎥© karabasivelidergahi (IG) #archaeohistories

Arthur Rubinstein performs Chopin’s Nocturne in D-flat major, Op. 27 No. 2, during his celebrated recital in Moscow on 1 October 1964. The most striking feature of this work both technically accomplished and profoundly symbolic — lies in the structural relationship between the left and right hands, which is clearly established from the very first page of the score. The left hand, representing Discipline and Order, provides a continuous, flowing accompaniment in 6/8 time. It establishes a broad, seamless, and unwavering harmonic foundation. This part symbolises an ordered universe governed by law and harmony, rather than chaos. The beautiful, soaring, and freely expressive melody of the right hand can only achieve its full radiance and meaning when it rests upon this firm and stable foundation. Should the left hand falter, the right hand, however exquisite, would lose its balance and true beauty. The right hand, representing the Soul and Freedom, begins with a sustained note before unfolding a lyrical melody marked dolce. This cantabile line moves with complete freedom and grace, adorned with delicate fioriture — ornamental passages that evoke fervent prayer or heavenly song descending from above. Drawing upon the traditions of classical musical aesthetics, three principal reasons explain why this Nocturne continues to be deeply cherished by those who uphold our cultural inheritance: The Nocturne in Op. 27 No. 2 possesses a rare purity and sanctity. Listeners attuned to traditional culture often feel that the music creates a space of spiritual clarity, in which the anxieties, distractions, and coarseness of everyday life are gently washed away, allowing the soul to rise towards what is noble and transcendent. In the traditional understanding of art, a truly great musical work serves as a mirror reflecting the harmonious order of the universe and the created world. This Nocturne is one of its most refined expressions. Although it adheres strictly to the classical laws of harmony, It is not dry or merely academic. On the contrary, it overflows with genuine emotion. Its power lies in a miraculous union: the free and soaring melody of the right hand attains its full sublimity only when supported by the disciplined, architecturally firm foundation of the left hand. This musical truth reflects a profound principle of life itself — that man finds true peace, freedom, and authentic happiness only when he lives in accordance with the natural order and the fundamental moral laws. Chopin composed this work in such a manner that it demands the most refined control of touch and tone, requiring the piano to sing with true bel canto purity. Traditional musicians have long prized this quality, for it restores music to its rightful nature: a sacred medium of communication from heart to heart, and from the human soul towards the divine. This Nocturne does not “tell a story” in any literal sense — something Chopin rarely attempted. Instead, it invites each listener to experience it personally. This very openness is one of its greatest attractions for those who cherish tradition: it suggests and elevates rather than imposes.
