  • in a MALL????

  • I was happy to see this done in a mall. The people who happened to be there were so benefited by having their consciousness purified & uplifted by hearing the holy music and seeing the sacred dance. Light & Love must be brought into dark places too. Thanks for posting the video!

  • Thanks for the reply. Are you in to sufism? Turkish Mevlevi dervishes are primarily exhibitionists/entertainers after Ataturk drove the movement underground, especially in Istanbul. But I understand genuine Lodges still thrive is Damascus and to a lesser extent in Konya. I saw the Whirling Dervishes of Konya live in Regents Park about 10 years ago....a truly moving experience.

  • Shame about the KFC in the background....

  • i wonder if they sell hashish

  • tessietots: these are Islamic mystics who are following an order established by Rumis who lived in the 1300's (I think). As they turn they have a palm facing heaven (receiving God's blessings) and the other pointing downward (symbolizing Allah's distribution of His blessings to His creation)

  • wow they really know how to have malls in istanbul

  • Hi. I came across your name while browsing antirelutionist. I liked your comment as decided to come view your channel and I found this video. Wow, amazing. Amazing because just recently, I've become facinated and interested in this dance. I read Rumi and just love his words. Could you please explain this dance to me? What does it represent? etc I would appreciate that/ Thank You.
