I saw a dervish show that has left me stunned and completely fascinated. Until then knew nothing about them, and actually thought it was a simple dance. If you give me 5 minutes I can tell you some interesting and the most basic details and surprising.
Dervishes are Muslim Brotherhood members of a Sufi branch, the most mystical (respect, tolerance and love) and ascetic (indifferent to material possessions as well as the pleasure and comfort mainly for religious reasons).
generally known for their sacred dance in which the rhythm of sentences and the constant repetition of the name Allah-la-ha illa illa 'llah - the dervishes spin to go into a trance, to attain union with God, the fusion of everything. Always rotate from right to left, mimicking the movement of the stars in the universe, as well as circulating blood around the heart.
And it writes Berta Gomez, movement is the essence of life, is his constant. From atoms to planets passing through the human life and its circumstances. And that movement is usually circular, not only by the tendency to complete cycles but because of their tendency to over. So if you want participate in the universal power of the methods is turning.
Some people say also that as in many chemical experiments applying a rapid rotary motion to separate some materials - or components, of others. In this case is used to separate conscious and surface mystical.
During the dance, trance or search, symbolic positions suited hands: the raised right palm outward, toward God, who gives us the goods. The left hand faces the ground, the earth, first to acquire wealth and sustainability, on the other to convey the gifts and gifts of God to humanity. The Darvich thus become transmission axes.
But movements are not only symbolic, is everything here. Even the hat they wear, which represents the need to curb their egos because only then can connect with God and the universe. The skirt is on one side a representation of a shroud that surrounds an inert body, on the other the sky.
addition, there is always a master and it symbolizes the sun. There are times when it just sits in pie, en el centro del círculo, mientras sus discípulos giran a su alrededor como los planetas y el sol. Él es otro eje.
Cabe destacar que aunque su baile se ha convertido en espectáculo, sólo lo es para el público. Los derviches en general aseguran no ser conscientes de la presencia del público mientras giran, y añaden que no pueden meditar ni concentrarse si reconocen la presencia de otros mientras giran. De hecho mientras bailan su mirada parece perdida en el horizonte, o tal vez al contrario, muy dentro de ellos mismos. Y es que el giro busca entre otras cosas el éxtasis, la comunión con dios, y esto va mucho beyond the mere spectacle, which they do for themselves, not to the public.
Indeed, it is possible that the viewer into a trance with the dervishes. If I had been surrounded by fewer people and less light, no doubt occurred to me hubises me.
