Sufi Culture in Istanbul - Konya - Turkey

Whirling Dervish Tours in Istanbul, Konya, Turkey.The branch of Sufic mysticism practiced widely in contemporary Turkey is rooted in a man called Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, and is famous for its Whirling Dervish Tradition, where through rotating on the left foot by crossing over it with the right, the Dervish reaches a spinning intensity, rotating to the music that musicians play close by.
As we observe them them revolve with their necks out and their head leaning to the side, we sense that they are in love with their way of life. Sufism is apart from the Islamic religion because of its nature as a kind of transcendental metaphysics which accepts all religions as one and is founded upon universal and unconditional forgiveness. Sufism conjures up the ancient Ottoman Empire, a plethora of insences, colors, foods, magic, palaces, harems, bejeweled daggers, mosques - traditional dress codes with doll clothes -- turbans, pointy toed slippers, baggy trousers and tight fitting vests - everywhere everything decorated.
