Devilish Whirling Dervish.mp3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

LYRICS<\/p>\n

Whirling. Twirling. Spinning ever faster
\nWhipping yourself into a euphoric state
\nGoing round and round and round
\nHoping religion will be found<\/p>\n

Hiding. Hunting. Hoping for an Easter
\nPraying resurrection is your fate<\/p>\n

Devilish Whirling Dervish
\nReligious ecstasy
\nDevilish Whirling Dervish
\nTouching divinity<\/p>\n

Make the whirling yours
\nMake the whirling mine
\nCreate the whirling epiphany
\nMake the whirling divine<\/p>\n

The Mawlaw’\u012byya \/ Mevlevi Order, or the Mevlevilik \/ Mevleviye (Persian: \u0645\u0648\u0644\u0648\u064a\u0647\u200e – Molav\u012byeh) is a Sufi order founded in Konya (present-day Turkey) by the followers of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi-Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian. They are also known as the Whirling Dervishes due to their famous practice of whirling as a form of dhikr (remembrance of God).<\/p>\n

The Mawlawi believe in performing their dhikr in the form of a “dance” and musical ceremony known as the Sama, which involves the whirling, from which the order acquired its nickname. The Sema represents a mystical journey of man’s spiritual ascent through mind and love to the “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, able to love and to be of service to the whole of creation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
