 Each year, on the 17th of December, the Mevlevi Order of Australia offers a special Sema to celebrate Hazreti Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi’s ‘Sheb-i Arus’ or ‘Wedding Night’.
It is the traditional night in the modern era when the Mevlevi Order of Sufis, the whirling dervishes, and the many lovers of Mevlana celebrate and remember his union with his Beloved, his ‘Wedding with Eternity’.
All over the world where there are Mevlevi dervishes, in Turkey, in Syria, in North America and in Australia, Sheb-i Arus is celebrated with Sema.
Just prior to 17 th December each year, you will find the details of Mevlevi Australia’s plans for the celebration of Sheb-i Arus in the activities diary.
