Spectacle of the Whirling Dervishes: Recognized globally as the most enthralling dance, borne from the inspiration of Rumi (1207-1273) and instructed by Shams-i Tabriz to Mevlana. Upon closer examination, it’s the ceremony performed by the Mevlevi dervishes. In essence, it’s the ritual they undertake by extending their arms on either side, raising their right palm upwards and their left palm towards the ground, accepting gifts from the divine and distributing them to the masses, all the while accompanied by instruments like the Ney. (Reed Flute) In this context, music serves as a facilitator for meditation.
