These appear to be the 45 rpm dervishes. Looking for the old school 78 rpm guys.

If anyone wonders why exactly they spin, it's a symbol ~ they are imitating the planets that orbit the sun in perfect harmony. It is but a method of physical meditation, to escape the inner self and to reach the Greater Power, the Almighty Allah SWT. Sufism is not a sect at all, it is merely a way of thinking. It is the focus on the spiritual and mystical aspects of Islam, not falling in a "branch." They share the same beliefs, but focus on purifying to a greater extent.

Remembers me of when i used to spin around as a kid.
Expect them to be massively dizzy when they stop spinning.
