Vivacity of Sufi spirit Rumi whirling dervish Painting Print

Whirling Dervishes, the Mevlevi Order was found by Mevlana Rumi in the 13th Century. It is a form of Islamic mysticism that attempts to achieve the annihilation of the self through God.The Order was based on teaching forgiveness, tolerance, and enlightenment. Mevlevi believed that during this trance the soul is released from it earthly ties and is able to freely continue its journey. The term “Dervish” literally means “doorway”. It reflects the ability of the person to be a bridge between two worlds, the materialistic world on the one hand and the spiritual heavenly world on the other. Each movement is designed to touch emotions. Every posture, gesture, rhythm has an appointed place, duration and weight. These are strong, bold geometrical movements, with rhythmic foot-stamping, swaying, chanting, whirling.
