Caucasus - Dervish with swordfish sword
Caucasus - Derivish with swordfish sword and begging bowl. Darwesh or Dervish, as it is known in European languages, refers to members of Sufi Muslim ascetic religious Tariqahs - tariket. Dervishes are involved in the esoteric side of Islam - and dervish orders mostly represent the teachings of various Sufi Saints who have lived over the centuries. In Persian (Iran), the word Darvish, also refers to a mendicant ascetic. The word Dervish means seeker of the truth and the teachings of each Dervish order represent some of the infinite number of ways of being brought to the reality Itself. It is said that the number of ways to reality exceeds the number of grains of sand on the beach. It may be noted that this infinite number of ways to truth can often start at a point beyond the bounds of religion

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, a Caucasus Dervish is depicted with a swordfish sword and a begging bowl, embodying the mystical and ascetic traditions of Sufi Islam. The Dervish, also known as Darwesh or Derivish, is a member of a Sufi Muslim ascetic religious order, seeking spiritual enlightenment and truth through esoteric practices. The Caucasus region, located at the intersection of Europe and Asia, has a rich history of Sufi traditions and mysticism. The Dervish in this photograph wears the traditional garb of his order, including a long, flowing robe and a tall, pointed hat, or "sikkeh." In his hand, he holds a swordfish sword, a symbol of spiritual struggle and protection against evil. The swordfish sword is a unique weapon, reflecting the syncretic influences of the region. The begging bowl at the Dervish's feet is a reminder of his dependence on the generosity of others for sustenance. The bowl represents both the material and spiritual needs of the Dervish, as he seeks to provide for his physical needs while focusing on his spiritual journey. The Dervish orders of Sufi Islam represent the infinite number of ways to reach the truth and reality, beyond the bounds of organized religion. The teachings of each order reflect the unique path of its founder or patron saint, offering seekers a diverse array of spiritual practices and perspectives. This photograph captures the mystical and otherworldly quality of the Dervish tradition, inviting us to contemplate the depths of the human spirit and the infinite paths to truth and enlightenment.
