Whirling dervish is the person who performs the whirling dervish. It is a ritual performed by spreading the arms to both sides and turning the right palm to the sky and the left palm to the earth, taking it from God and giving it to the people. Those who perform this ritual are called whirling dervishes. Sema literally means sky universe, but in Mevlevi it ​​means to hear. That turning movement symbolizes the formation of man and reaching the Almighty God, the formation of the universe and the resurrection of the construction in the universe. Whirling dervish whirling with his eyes closed, turns with a spiritual feeling, not those around him. Sufi music, which does not encounter problems such as dizziness, was inspired by the heart rhythm of human beings. The Meaning of Crossed Arms: It shows that there is only one God here. With this appearance, it resembles the letter Elif, that is, the Arabic letter A and the number 1. Opening the arms and hands: Whirling dervish turns his left hand up and the other hand down. This means taking it from God and giving it to the people. Spinning is the basic condition of existence. Everything in the universe survives by rationing. Stars, planets, blood in the body, everything rotates in harmony
