A whirling dervish is a member of the Sufi order known for its practice of whirling as a form of active meditation and spiritual expression. This practice, often associated with the Mevlevi order founded by the followers of the Persian poet Rumi, involves spinning in repetitive circles to achieve a trance-like state, symbolizing the soul's ascent towards the divine. The dance is accompanied by music and poetry, emphasizing themes of love, devotion, and the search for spiritual enlightenment.
