Persian Dervish - Paris Exhibition
Persian Dervish at the Paris Exposition in 1900. 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

The term Dervish or Darvesh in Persian culture refers to a seeker of truth, often identified with the Islamic Sufi tradition. Sufis are people of the way, transcending social and monetary boundaries, driven by an inner spiritual longing. Sufi Orders, many bearing the name of revered saints, have preserved various practices throughout the centuries, guiding generations of seekers on their journey towards self-realization. The infinite ways to truth and universal spirituality are a hallmark of Sufism, extending beyond the realm of religion. The Dervish in this photograph embodies the mystical essence of his tradition.

This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the cultural exchange and interconnectedness that characterized the Paris Exposition. The Persian Dervish stands as a testament to the universal human desire for spiritual growth and the timeless quest for truth.
