Whirling Dervishes Ceremony at a Real Mevlevihane review

Dönen dervişlerin yer aldığı bir Sufi törenini izlemeye gittik… Mekan çok güzeldi… Tören başlamadan önce biri töreni anlattı ve törenin kendisi de büyülüydü

Whirling Dervishes Ceremony at a Real Mevlevihane review

Mevlevihane’de 5 günlük bir program tertip ettik. Çalışanlar bizimle çok ilgilendi. Herkes yardımcı oldu. Mevlevihane’de tüm imkanlar mevcuttu. Hiç sıkıntı yaşamadık. Kasımpaşa’nın kaotik atmosferini manevi havasıyla yok eden bir yer. Yeniden inşa edenlerden ve şu an ilgilenenlerden Allah razı olsun.

Whirling Dervishes Ceremony at a Real Mevlevihane review

Normal şartlar altında İstanbul’da tarihi anlamda hemen hemen girdiğim bütün mekanlardan mutlu ayrılan biriydim. Ancak burası resmen ortalamamı düşürdü ve gönlümü yıktı.Kapıdaki güvenlik görevlisi “şu an bir etkinlik olmadığı için bizi içeri alamayacağını” söyledi. Bunu gayet anlayışla karşıladık lakin buraya kadar gelmişken sadece binanın dış cephesinin fotoğrafını çekmek istediğimde “güvenlik kamerasından müdürlerin izlediğini” söyleyerek buna da müsaade etmedi. Sormak istiyorum; dışarıdan çekilebilen bir yapı fotoğrafı bir yapıya ne kadar zarar verebilir? bir güvenlik görevlisini ne kadar zor durumda bırakabilir ?Takdiri bu satırları okuyan yöneticilere ve toplum vicdanına bırakıyorum..

Whirling Dervishes Ceremony at a Real Mevlevihane review

Kasımpaşa Mevlevihanesi, İstanbul’un Beyoğlu ilçesinin Sururi Mehmet Efendi Mahallesi’nde yer alan, 17. yüzyılda inşa edilmiş tarihi bir Mevlevihane’dir. İstanbul’da kurulan üçüncü Mevlevihane olan bu yapı, 1620’li yıllarda Fırıncızâde Şeyh Sırrı Abdi Dede tarafından, Galata Mevlevihanesi’nin şeyhliğine atanamayınca, kendi bostanında inşa edilmiştir. Mevlevihane, zaman içinde çeşitli tamiratlar geçirmiştir. 1797 yılında Sultan III. Selim, 1834 yılında ise Sultan II. Mahmud tarafından yeniden inşa edilmiştir. Ancak, 1979 yılında çıkan bir yangın sonucu tamamen harabe hale gelmiştir. Uzun yıllar sonra, İnsan ve İrfan Vakfı öncülüğünde, Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı Vakıflar Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından aslına uygun olarak yeniden inşa edilmiştir. 2024 yılında ise yeniden ziyaretçilere açılmıştır.

One of the best activities you will find around. The organizers were experienced and knowledgeable and put together an experience enjoyed by every single participant. The location really good, the offer of constant coffee/tea/water generous, the staff professional. Huge congrats to our trainer, Mustafa, who was able to handle a large group of people, answered all our questions without fail, was clear, communicative, funny and personable. He helped us create our own perfume out of 70 different scents; it is as enjoyable and delightful as it sounds! I would highly recommend it!
