Wandering Russian Shamen or Dervish
Wandering Russian Shamen or Dervish riding a rather dishevelled horse with trained raven on a pole. Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. Dervish or Darvesh in Persian usually refers to a person who is a seeker of the truth i.e. universal truth. Within the Islamic tradition such people are often known as Sufis, Sufi, people of the way or mystics and they come from every strata of society; here monetary considerations are inapplicable since the situation is that of a deep personal inner spiritual longing. There are in existence a number Sufi Orders many of which bear the name of a great saint and within these orders various practices have continued over the centuries in order to assist generations of seekers whose desire is to be brought to reality itself. It is said that the number of ways to reality/truth exceeds the number of grains of sand on the beach. It may be noted that this infinite number of ways to truth can even start at a point beyond religion, ultimately the truth is an univeral quality."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enigmatic figure of a Wandering Russian Shaman or Dervish, deeply immersed in his spiritual journey. Riding a disheveled horse, he holds a trained raven on a pole, a symbol of the soul's freedom and transformation in Sufi tradition. Surrounded by a curious crowd, the Dervish, also known as a Sufi or a seeker of universal truth, transcends societal norms and monetary considerations. Sufism, an Islamic mystical tradition, has its roots in the Persian word "Dervish," meaning "poor one" or "seeker." Sufis are individuals from all walks of life who dedicate themselves to the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment and the revelation of ultimate truth. Over the centuries, various Sufi Orders have emerged, each with unique practices designed to guide seekers on their spiritual journey. The infinite number of ways to reach truth is a central tenet of Sufism, with some paths beginning beyond the realm of religion. Ultimately, the truth is a universal quality that transcends all boundaries and limitations. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the human capacity for spiritual exploration and the enduring quest for truth and self-realization.
