Turkish Whirling Dance-Ritual of Sema (HD).m2ts

The Whirling Dervishes are the members of the Mevlevi Order (named after their famous founder MEVLANA) from Konya,Turkey.They are performing this seven-centuries-old ritual dance,almost a form of prayer and meditation then a practice,called the Ritual of Sema.
According to Mevlana philosopher the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve.The shared similarity between all created entity is the revolution of the electrons,protons and neutrons within the atoms that constitute their basic structure.All in the known universe,from the smallest cell to the planets and the farthest stars,everything takes part in this revolving.Thus this Semazens,the peoples who whirl,participate consciously in the shared revolution (revolving) of all existence of the universe.
The Sema ritual-ceremony represents a spiritual journey to seek love and truth,to transform themselves as a way of union with GOD,and then return to life as the servant of all CREATION,of all UNIVERSE.The Sema ritual consists of seven parts.The beauty of this very old ritual is the way that it unifies the three fundamental components of human nature whitch are mind,emotion and spirit,then combining them in a daily practice and worship that seeks the purification of all three in the turning towards DIVINE unity.
Whirling dervishes,semazen,are equiped with a camel hat representing a tombstone and a wide white shirt symbolizing the death shroud.When they are whirling the right hand is up to the skies and GOD,and the left hand is turnet to the earth.So the whirling dervishes make the connection between GOD and us.
