[14abyan]

heyy im muslim and i was wondering what reliegion this is ? because if u guys pray like this then u need to learn how the prophet told us to pray and how is this soothing ?

spinning like a mainiac ?

[ruudzwart]

@14abyan This is the honorable mystic path within Islam.

Turkish muslims build big mosques to honor Mevlana, In arab his name was Jallahudin Rumi.

He promoted this kind of dancing. The whirling derwishes of Konya are world famous.

[eddienamini]

amazingly attractive

[TheAFGpersiangirlAFG]

dance dance dance

berakhs berakhs berakhs

the first dance moves ever........

[osheq1]

Beautiful, my sister. I am across the globe, but I feel a strong kinship with the intention in your dance. I really admire the power of your concentration and the sincerity in your heart mining. Don't ever be discouraged, and continue in your work as long as you have breath It is so needed in our world.

much love, Gloria

[jlcross]

Mesmerizing - if you look at it and just let your eyes go, all you see is movement going one way and then another - a trance. Beautiful.

[PolarTulip]

this is so beautiful... so soothing

[neysasoediro]

Cool dance!!



[SeventhHeaven5655]

It has been said that the whirling spins the ego to the outside of the body so it can be released and the heart, mind, soul and body can be empty to fill with the presence and Love of God. This is traditionally performed by men.

[pipakefendija]

i dont know why, but this music makes me crying and contemplating at same time!

[remakebeat]

This has nothing to do with sufism. This is entertainment... One that degrades the value of the original belief/tradition.

[SurfinAdam]

@remakebeat why? Beacuse its a female performing, and not a traditional male dancer??!!

[remakebeat]

@SurfinAdam

Partially yes. Sema is part of a religious ritual that belongs to a very specific order. It is religion. You either accept it as it is or look for other ways to satisfy your spiritual needs. You don't add or subtract things from it as you please.

But my main gripe with this performance is that it is clearly meant to be watched. The dance motifs portrayed in the video have nothing to do with sema. Any sema worship open to general public can only hold representative value.

[remakebeat]

I'm afraid this video doesn't even have that.

[chandravali108]

@remakebeat

dear friend, Devadasi, dance of the heart is not a traditional Sufi Dance. It is intuitive sacred dance, it is ment to be shared with also public. The entertaining aspect though, is just the superficial layer of it. There are deeper dimensions, too. The "mistake" is, that the video was put under the name "SufiDance" whereelse me, the dancer, was invited to dance to Sufi Music of my friends. best wishes, paramjyoti

[remakebeat]

@chandravali108

I just find it sad how outsiders degrade a part of my culture by treating it like it was an emotional playground of some sort. There is no such thing as sufi music, there's religious music; there is no such thing as sufi energy, there is love of God. Why would you mix a Hindu dance with "sufi music" in the first place? Such attempts at fusing elements from separate schools of thought just because both are exotic to the Western public carves out whatever meaning/value they hold.

[racineetienne]

Hello my name its Amandine.... I m dancer I have sufi energy dance around my self this last time..... WHERE I CAN LEARN THIS ???????? I m living in Canada and I would like to conec with good teachers

thank you beautiful dance

[sufidance]

@racineetienne dear sufi dancer! i personally only read a description in the book "Hush! Don't say anything to God" by Rumi, translated by Shahram Shiva. otherwise you need to look for dervish or sufi communities in your area (google might help). as far as i know, there are quite some communities in north america.

[Muizz1987]

@racineetienne learn from that energy.. :)

[chandravali108]

@racineetienne

dear amandine, thank you for your comment. I am sorry I found out only 8 monts later, how to look at comments on you tupe and how to reply. Please send me an email, if you are still interested in connecting, I am happy to pass on the sacred dance that is the guideline in my life. with love, paramjyoti ( info@devadasi.de)

[hellfire9910]

@racineetienne learn from this very video or search on utube

[bozolazic]

@racineetienne Rumi had said that his practices were instituted for the temperament of the people of Asiatic Turkey, not for Europe and America.In accordance with Sufi practice, exercises are devised for specific time and people.---Idries Shah

Now is there an exception to the rule? I don't know.

People get the leaders that they deserve.

Does anyone know the name of this dancer?

[Neuropathyinfo4u]

to disappear in the dance is the meditation

[eshedu1]

ess alejkum, this is nothing to do w ISLAM ,and mevlana sufi

Zahir is present ON wonam body(so it is like YUM,exercise ) but BATHIN is still deep hiden,

how empty a tin can of coca cola can change KABA??

[ahnaknits]

Beautiful!

[zsnizam]

This is interesting and certainly worth watching.

[lifeofphysics]

i listen accurately. it's not Persian(farsi), even old Persian. i think the lyrics are in India language

[abstract56]

@lifeofphysics He sings persian (Farsi ) !exactly ! not Indian!

[EnvyAbomination]

@abstract56

Hindi is heavily based on Sanskrit which originated in modern day Persia. India is the child of Persia. Their other prominent language, namely Urdu, is heavily based on Persian (Farsi) vocabulary. I think that's why it's easy for people to confuse them. 

[granitecarver]

This is mesmerizing. I love watching them. Thanks

[amravati108]

This is a beautiful and mystical sufi dance by a lovely woman. It is very mesmerising

[foreskinforest]

The oscillating wildly is both beautiful and emotional. I have watch this three times in awe at her.

[foreskinforest]

Truely beautiful

[foreskinforest]

How can she do that without being dizzy?

[aishaAhmedAli]

simpley beautiful

[EmperorTab]

And who are the performers?

[EmperorTab]

What is the name of this song? It's beautiful.

[MaoriWrasse]

SO beautiful . . . thank you . .

[Ebtharagon]

The sacred face of God manifested in the beauty of the sufidance. Love & Light. Thank you.

[monikasoarez]

Perfeição! Maravilhoso! 

[H1703]

why does she lift one hand up n the other pointing towards the ground??n while swirling does it sound like connecting to the cosmic energy..beautiful!

[sufidance]

@H1703 it's the traditional way of bridging heaven and earth, that is, receiving Light with the right hand and pouring that Light into the earth.

[asorlonnn]

@sufidance

You receive with left

and Give with right

Christ says:

Do not let your left hand know what your right gives

[rouhiamani]

@H1703 it means as above so below.

[suteramarinn]

cosmic dance

[neda1155]

Wonderfull,Thanks a lot!!

[munii]

whats this song called?

[shaheedain]

The Cannabis song

May be all that cannabis makes sufis spin so fast??

[1337Creations]

@shaheedain

It's better then a sunni crap

[Cydoxaras]

I really want to know!! please tell us someone!

[danceswithcrayons]

I enjoyed your video of this incredibly beautiful dance. I have not seen Sufi dancing with my own eyes, and without YouTube, might never have seen at all. Thank you for sharing : )

[mrgabest]

Physiologically, the protracted spinning disorients the part of the brain that keeps track of your own limbs and position of the body relative to objects. When that portion of the brain is shut down, people experience a sense of displacement, what many call an out of body experience.

[acerb45666555]

the Sufi dancer has two struggles. one is to seek a trance like state. two is to remain in reality and keep those feet coordinated!

[FirebrandB37]

It's rather incredible, but when you reach trance, your feet go without any problem and you simply feel music, emotion... and no thinking in your mind.

[Bethmendezperforming]

Do they always turn in the same direction?? Does it have any meaning if you turn right or left???

[FirebrandB37]

It's curious... All the time I used to practice whirling dervish, all people turned in the OTHER direction, except a left handed woman.

[sufidance]

When they turn left, it empties oneself out to be filled with the spirit of the Divine. When they turn right, the qualities present within grow stronger.

[anselmthelost]

Where can I learn more about this style of Sufi dance?

Why is it called, "Ahura?"

[worldofoneness]

You can learn more about it in the appendix of the book "Hush! Don't Say Anything To God" with Rumi translations by Shahram Shiva.

Ahura is the name of the Sufi band playing live in this video in Munich, Germany.

[mieeezi]

ahura is the band.

the leader is from iran.

sufi is only the style of dancing ;)

[asheemak]

Ahura means God in persian

[farzanb]

The song is in Farsi but old Farsi accent, so it is difficult to understand.

The dance thou seems a mix of old persian/zoroastrian and a mix of indian to me, but correct me if i am wrong i am no expert.

also in the chant where it says

"Aye Yaraan Yaraan" it means "hey companions/close friend"

[Elfennebel]

Das Video ist schön. Was für eine Körperbeherrschung!!!

[sadilak]

no man no need to vomit, when she spins around so often, she starts to live in moving frame refered to world base coordinates ;)

[careemntb]

man what kinnda music is dis and where this from kareem sri lanka

[golpharyjon]

A-HU-RA is the name of god , in the Zorasterian religen of Iran (old Parsia). the perfect name .

[lifeofphysics]

@golpharyjon as u know the zartosht is in iran region, not only in fars regions. there are holy tombs in baku, takht soleyman and in marage.

[nonameformee]

I can do that. Just spin. Doesn't she feel like vomiting after that:?

[sufidance]

not really, there is a certain technique to it so that you don't get dizzy at all, even if you do it for an hour.

[worldofoneness]

one is described in Sharam Shiva's book of Rumi poem called "Hush! Don't say anything to God"

[EzseroKangal]

@nonameformee no u cant, dont get happy

[SZ2012]

WOW

[mayaspiritb]

who's the singer. such a nice voice!

[changiz110]

soli from toronto

[mayaspiritb]

humm, listened to Ahura long time ago but never knew it was Soli (singer)! thanks.

[psyckovsky]

It's her majesty : Mamak Khadem :) 

[phantomdernachtt]

@mayaspiritb Mohammad Eghbal. It's a song from Ahura called "Jaran Seham Djodai Makonid".

[startripping]

spin in circle:a galactic plane moving amongst universal dark matter backdrop

star light cannot penetrate or discharge

tears of joy become lucid

taming our existential dream.

[AKHIDAH]

dizzeeeee

[druivensoort]

She is Great! The Music sounds Divine, also...

[Ravens072]

thanx for placing this nice, beautiful dance video. I'am also practicing the sufi dance and still touched by seeing other people performe this mystic dance.

[Atashbani]

Nice, I haven't seen things like this yet.

[quickfixyz]

[sufidance]

She danced for about 22 minutes and 22 seconds non-stop as the musicians played their song...

[Jazeera1973]

Oh ! So spiritual and elegant at the same time... it is amazing :)

[subhanzub]
