Dervishes of different orders
Dervishes of different orders - Constantinople (Istanbul). 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 photograph captures a gathering of Dervishes from various orders in Constantinople, now Istanbul, Turkey, around the turn of the 20th century. Dervishes, or seekers of truth, are a significant part of the Islamic tradition, often referred to as Sufis or mystics. Regardless of their social or economic background, these individuals are driven by an intense, personal spiritual longing that transcends monetary considerations. Throughout history, numerous Sufi Orders have emerged, each with distinct practices designed to guide seekers on their journey towards reality itself. The number of paths to truth is believed to be infinite, surpassing the number of grains of sand on the beach. Some of these paths may even begin beyond the realm of organized religion, ultimately revealing the universal quality of truth. In this image, we see Dervishes from different orders, each with their unique attire and practices, coming together in a shared pursuit of the divine. The Dervish tradition, rooted in esotericism and mysticism, has been a vital part of Islamic culture for centuries. The ascetic practices and spiritual disciplines of these seekers have continued to inspire generations, offering a profound and enduring connection to the transcendent. This photograph, taken in 1910, serves as a poignant reminder of the rich spiritual heritage of the Islamic world and the enduring allure of the mystical path. The Dervishes in this image, with their focused expressions and deep connection to the divine, invite us to reflect on the timeless quest for truth and the infinite ways it can be sought and found.
