After a full day of climbing up and down through the 'Ferry Chimmeys" we finally went back to the hotel and had a nice hot dinner there. It also gave me a chance to warm up and remove some of the extra layers of clothing I had warn to go out during the day as it was very cold out there with the snow on the ground. After dinner we boarded our bus to head to the historical Carevanserai which was built 1249. It was a gathering and place for shelter for the travelers traveling the silk road during ancient times. There was an enclosed portion for the winter months and an open air market area for the summer months. The whirling dervish ceremony was held back in the winter portion of the shelter.
The dervishes part of the Melvana belief, it's not a religion, more a way of life. If you want more information on them you can go to their web site at: www.sarihan1249.com
The beliefs are: 1. In generosity and helping others be like a river. 2. In compassion and grace be like the sun. 3. In concealing others' faults be like the night. 4. In anger and fury be like the dead. 5. In modesty and humility be like the earth. 6. In tolerance be like the sea. 7. either exist as you are or be as you look. Some very interesting ideas. This was started in the early 1200's, by Melvana Celaleddin i Rumi. The followers do the ceremony as a way of showing their devotion to their beliefs. More photo''s at:
