Guest Guest Posted January 31, 2005 Sema is the inspiration of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi (1207-1273) who was a philosopher whose doctrine advocates unlimited tolerance, positive reasoning, goodness, charity and awareness through love. While whirling, dervish?s arms are open, his right hand directed to the skies ready to receive God's beneficence, looking to his left hand turned toward the earth, he turn from right to left around the heart. This is his way of conveying God's spiritual gift to the people upon whom he looks with the eyes of God. Revolving around the heart, from right to left, he embraces all the mankind, all the creation with affection Link to comment
elaine_roberts1 0 Posted January 31, 2005 What a fantastic shot! What elevates this picture above the ordinary is the simplicity of the composition, moody lighting, and MOST OF ALL, the mural(?) behind the dervish that seems to imitating his every move! I also like the round drum (?) next to the diagonal of the flute, followed by the vauguely triangular shape of the whirling robe. Reminds me of a 18th or 19th century 'Orientalist' (European depiction of Near East) painting. Link to comment
