Monday Evening Universal Mevlâna Cultural Center

We visited the center and met Master HASAN ÇIKAR DEDE. Master Hasan answered questions followed by a performance of the Whirling Dervish Ceremony.

The Sufi disciples use effort, energy, searching to reach the level of devine love.

The History of the Sufi movement goes back to Moses, David and Abraham and Mohammed then Ali.

They believe Moses, David and Abraham each had knowledge and the Founder put them together.n

Christians share similar beliefs.  Sufis take human beings as the God's representatives.  They see God in all mankind.  They strive to incorporate all the knowledge, all the wisdom of humans.

Some faiths see God as a distant entity.  Mohammed advised the faithful to feel the energy, knowledge, the wisdom of God.  To see themselves as God's emissary on earth.

Sufis Believe in the oneness of all people.  Devote themselves to the salvation of mankind on earth. 

They Focus on the eternal in each of us on earth.
