| | Annael's Lived-in Bottle: The Baklunish Dervish (3rd Edition) |
 | | A Dervish is a religious, scholarly person, who studies and meditates in an effort to approach holiness and approval in the eyes of the god, Al-Akbar. | | | Dervishes try to live their lives as a prayer to their god and an example to others. | | | There, a Dervish can find their work even more difficult, as she tries to help people who are suspicious of her and attempts to spread a faith that most people disparage. |

| | fUSION Anomaly. Whirling Dervish |
| | Dervish literally means "doorway" and is thought to be an entrance from this material world to the spiritual, heavenly world. | | | But a dervish is really the Moslem equivalent of a monk or friar, the Persian word darvêsh, the ultimate source of dervish, meaning "religious mendicant." The word is first recorded in English in 1585. | | | SUFISM is the theological basis of most of the dervish sects. |

| | Kindred Spirit, Whirling Dervish |
| | Dervish means someone who sits at the door or gateway between the visible earthly reality and invisible realms of spirit. | | | The mystical spinning dance brings the praying dervishes to a point of ecstatic reconnection with the divine source within and around them and is intended to bring light to the world. | | | The training of dervishes was simplified to adapt to the needs of 20th century culture and lifestyle. |

| | The Whirling Dervishes |
| | He was a true dervish who had lived in the solitude of the mountains in a state of mystical ecstasy. | | | The Persian word darwish (literally: the sill of the door) is accepted in Arabic and Turkish (dervish) to describe the Sufi who is the one who is at the door to enlightenment. | | | The Dervish orders were abolished, but there is a freedom of belief such that those who want to perform any rite can do so in private, but not under the aegis of an organized religious body. |

| | The dervishes are adepts of Sufism, a mystical form of Islam that preaches tolerance and a search for understanding. | | | Kadir Topbas, the mayor of Istanbul and a member of the ruling Justice and Development party, which has Islamic roots, wants the 110-meter (361-foot) statue to be erected on Sivriada, an uninhabited island in the Marmara Sea, with a mosque, a church and a synagogue at its base. | | | Some say the whirling dervishes belong more to the central, conservative city of Konya, where the father of Sufism, Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, lived in the 13th century, than to the cosmopolitan modern city. |

| | Some of these attempts at connection are more successful than others: for instance, an early sequence segues between the daily devotions of Tibetan monks and Whirling Dervishes, finding more similarity among these rituals than one might expect. | | | Of this meeting Rumi said, "What I had thought of before as God, I met today in a person." | | | Through a turning movement, body posturing, mental focus, and sound, the dervish achieves ecstasy through union with God. |

| | Dervish Turning |
| | I had read a tiny bit about the dervishes and simply thought that Mevlana Rumi's turning was no more that a simple walking meditation. | | | So, even when there are ten or twenty or thirty dervishes doing the great whirling dance, there is one center that all are radiating from, and the entire dance radiates an utter calm, even in the presence of all this motion. | | | I bought the book, discovered some wonderful poetry, looked many times into the eyes of Shaikh Suleyman Loras and then set the book aside. |

| | Death and the Dervish (Mesa Selimovic) - book review |
| | And there is a fascinating array of other characters, seen through Nuruddin's sometimes insightful and sometimes naive eyes: his fellow dervishes in the tekke; his friend Hassan, the unsettled "black sheep" of his family, in love with a Dalmatian Christian; Hassan's father and sister; various townspeople; and religious and secular officials. | | | Nuruddin's angst is often philosophical and his thinking is foreign, convincingly that of a Muslim religious recluse, and in many ways narrow and parochial. | | | But his quandries are universal: Death and the Dervish is an evocation of Ottoman Bosnia, of a world now past, but above all the story of an individual struggling to find himself and maintain his integrity and dignity in a hostile political landscape. |

| | The dervish, a figure whirling at the edge of both the religious and political worlds of the time (in each of which he plays a role), is forced to compromise himself in his efforts to free his brother, destroying his best friend's life -- as well as his own, in many respects. | | | Narrated by the dervish of the title, Sheik Ahmed Nuruddin, the main thrust of the novel centers around his efforts to free his brother, who has been arrested and sentenced to death. | | | Set in Sarajevo during the time of the Ottoman rule (no exact date is specified, though the 17th or 18th centuries seem most likely) the novel is a fascinating portrait of that society -- and an interesting reflection of 20th century Yugoslavia. |

| | As with many multi-instrument ensembles, Dervish makes good use of harmony and counterpoint while showcasing their musicianship with some blazing solos. | | | Instead, it skips seemingly randomly amongst Dervish's five recordings: Harmony Hill, Playing with Fire, at the end of the day, Live in Palma, and Midsummer's Night. | | | In fact, many of these tunes, such as the aformentioned "Kilavill" and the beginning part of "World's End" from Live in Palma have an anticipatory, held-back sound that reminds me of early Clannad and Altan. |
