KONYA - A documentary shot by Ibrahim Divarci about 14 Mevlevi orders in the world has to be screened in Turkey and in some other countries.
In an exclusive interview with the A.A, Divarci said, "under a project supported by the Turkish Ministry of Culture & Tourism, I shot a documentary movie about 14 Mevlevi orders in the world."
"The orders are in Syria, Egypt, Israel, Libya, the People Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), Greece, Kosovo, Ukraine, Hungary and Bosnia- Herzegovina," he said.
Divarci said that the 60-minute documentary was shot in Turkish and English.
"Since the United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared 2007 as the year of Mevlana to mark the 800th anniversary of his birth, the documentary is be screened in various countries," he stressed.
The Mevlevi Order is a Sufi order founded by the followers of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi in 1273 in Konya. They are also known as the Whirling Dervishes due to their famous practice of whirling as a form of dhikr (remembrance of Allah). Dervish is a common term for an initiate of the Sufi Path.
The Whirling Dervishes believe in performing their dhikr in the form of a "dance" and music ceremony called the sema.
The Sema represents a mystical journey of man`s spiritual ascent through mind and love to "Perfect." Turning towards the truth, the follower grows through love, deserts his ego, finds the truth and arrives at the "Perfect." He then returns from this spiritual journey as a man who has reached maturity and a greater perfection, so as to love and to be of service of the whole of creation.
