The Whirling Dervishes (Semazen) are followers of Mevlana Rumi and perform a spiritual ritual called “Sema”.
This is not just a dance — it is a form of meditation and worship.
While turning:
• The right hand faces up to receive from God
• The left hand faces down to give to people
• The spinning represents the universe and the journey of the soul
It symbolizes leaving the ego and reaching divine love.
Watching Sema is not only a show, but a deep spiritual experience.
