    The Mega Havan

     

    And so the Yunus Emre Farm has been offered to the flames of Shiva, the Dancer, the Destroyer..for a huge havan, the sacred fire, for a transformation, for a rebirth.

    Because this is how i wish to look at things and this is how i feel and see them.

    The cycle of Nature

    Creation, birth..preservation, life, destruction, death, to move towards another cycle another birth

    A renaissance  (or rebirth)

    A mega havan, the big sacred fire

    With mega gratitude because the animals and I are still here, living and filled with optimism and positivity to continue the Yunus Emre Farm

    In every havan, there is prasad.

    Therefore the positive vision continues to carry me and us. Chants and mantras, the connection to the divine world, the invisible world, to the unmanifest world, which is just as real.

     

    The well known ‘Hari Om Tat Sat’

     

    Manifest world (Hari) and unmanifest world (Om) make only one.  One is the manifestation of the other, and it is that (Tat) that is the reality (Sat) 

    And thus connected, for us to let ourselves be guided, carried by the unmanifest (through meditation, silence) before reacting and thinking in the manifest workd, with full faith and with absolute certitude and conviction that everything that happens is ,always for my and our good and in the best way. 

    YES

    Even though the fire raged 500 metres down from the farm,  pushed by the wind and fed by the forest, in a single gulp it devoured trees and buildings to finally stop, extinguished by the brave firemen who also managed to save not only Atesh, the farm’s dog but also Saraswati, the yoga studies tent with the precious yoga books from India, as well as Durga, the large camelia of yoga, as well as the Chandi tent and trees and plants of the lotus garden around Saraswati.

     

    ALL the rest burnt. And comprised the famous Lotus pond that you had financed.

    Therefore

    Everything will be rethought and reconstructed in a better way and all together.

     

    « Her iste bir HAYIR var"  we say here in Turkey and probably in all languages

     

    Every event contains within it a blessing

     

    The hayir, the blessings are palpably already there

    We are alive

    and

    Your presence and actions and support, your positive thoughts connects us all together as Friends of the Yunus Emre Farm, my family, friends of yoga and permaculture and of nature generating positive vibrations of love, which are certainly bringing good to the little Yunus Emre Farm.

    Guarding all present in the heart and the spirit to continue in the tradition of yoga, there is a mega Ganesh in Yunus Emre Farm.

    Ganesh is the son of Shiva, Ganesh is the one who helps to overcome the obstacles and difficulties in life.

     

    At present in concrete terms

     

    Another big ‘hayir’, a blessing : it was the arrival, on the day of the fire, of Julian, a young German medical student  who had come as a volunteer at the farm before participating in the permaculture course.

    He is therefore with me since the beginning an is an immense support, as much for the material plan as above all the moral plan. We were able to organise a mini camp, I could sleep in Saraswati tent and Julian slept in Chandi, the neighbours and friends from Antalya immediately came with bedding and kitchen items.

    Needless to say that we are going when we want to the neighbours houses when we have need, Mustafa and all his family, Hatice, Le Muhtar Turan are helping us so much.

    Furthermore, on the day of the fire, the representatives of institutions  such as Kaymakam (Prefect) , Orman müdürü (Forest dept director) were there and warmly assured me of their support, legal, material and moral.

    On the legal side, the Turkish state who is the owner of the forest intends to start proceedings as it appears to be responsible for the break out of the fire, probably caused by soldering/welding work

    In addition, the farm has a good French speaking lawyer, which will enable me to understand everything that will go on around me concerning this fire and to better defend the farm’s interests.

    It is therefore another immense support and relief to feel myself so assisted.

    And if however you have not yet felt this, i wish to thank you all immensely for all that you have already done and continue to do.

    I will probably not be able to respond to all your messages individually, and I also hope that on reading these lines and the information that will follow, you will feel to what point I am most grateful for everything.

     

    Precisely : the next stage – the ‘plans’ at least for the near future.

     

    Still many unknown parameters mean nothing is certain for the moment but a plan is being drawn little by little.

     

    Collection of Materials

    In order to reconstruct the farm which is destined to be a place of sharing knowledge and experience a collection is being organised.

    In Antalya and in Turkey : basic materials,  such as tools, kitchen, work, garden, water, electricity etc.  Grace of our network, this is being organised magnificently well. 

    The materials received like this will be kept in a temporary stock at friend’s houses before being despatched to the farm when it is ready to receive them.

    For this one email:  phoenix.yunusemre@gmail.com

     

    Thanks for consulting the list of materials which we have need of, lower down in this message or in facebook

     

    Collection of financial means

     

    Many of you know well that the farm did not have a lot of available money before the fire

     

    At present it is really quite likely that the farm will gain from the process by being compensated for the loss and damage for both the material and immaterial aspect. On the other hand this will take time.

    And during this time, it needs money

    As much to begin base reconstruction in order to spend the winter dry and with heat  as for the financing of the legal fees and other inescapable costs of the farm.

    For this

    If you are in Turkey and have a Turksih account in Turkish liras you can send money to the following account :

    FINANS BANK

    IBAN   TR530011100000000015590170

    Permaculture Course – Site Construction ?

    The permaculure course was due to start on 28th September to 10th October and for the moment is in a state of suspension.

    Will it take  place or not ? And if yes where ? This is not yet defined.

    Saviana has agreed to come despite everything to help.

    The fact that there is still a risk of the fire starting again around the farm means in all likelihood it will not be held on the farm land.

    Also to organise a camp in the ashes and gloomy landscape of a charred forest, even if possible, is not exactly appropriate.

    So we are looking for another place, there are already some propositions..at the neighbours ? in Antalya ? Olympos ? elsewhere ?

    Therefore this is still on standby – in suspension for the moment as I write these lines on Sunday 16 September

    On the other hand, we can hope for what we wish for.

    -          The construction of a hut – house in clay and straw, which even if very small and basic will allow the winter to be  spent in the warm and dry and to continue work on the farm. 

    -          The establishment of a new design so as to forsee the new constructions, lodging, kitchen, sanitation, study, gardens, workshop according to permmaculture and therefore in accord with nature and for that I wish to ask the help of one of the permaculture designers, who have experience in this doman and who will give us the base for the farm’s reconstruction. 

    This also supposes that the organisation of a an eco construction site will be with one of the permaculture guides who will lead the site and certainly the volunteers to participate in it.

    The help has already arrived in this sense..another blessing !

     

    Therefore, on this subject, there will be more information in the week on the plans and real immediate needs, as well as the way to include you in this reconstruction plans if you wish and can.

    For the moment that is all

    With a new time, a big surge of thanks to you all who are reading this and who will help the farm to be reborn from the ashes, like a phoenix

    Know also that even if i was very shocked, even if I of course cried, at no moment did the thought to stop the farm present itself. 

    Exactly the opposite

    In the middle of the smoking ashes and tears, there was only one thought in my head, I only see one alternative for the farm..

    The farm will continue, we are going to reconstruct it, and this time all together ! 

    And that is exactly what has already started.

     

    Until soon for the next time

    Hari Om Tat Sat.

         IMMERSION IN THE SUFI UNIVERSE....

                            MUSIC ...  DANCE... CHANTS ....

                            THE LANGAGE OF THE SOUL ....

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This is in Gökçedere, a small village in the north of Turkey.
    Overthere is a “dergah” that could make you fly one day on the wings of the Sufi Music ...
    “Dergah” means “door- threshold over the infinite”... and this is really what you may experience in this place where all together music, chants, dances will unite in one sole vibration: the Divine Vibration.

    But most of all in this Dergah you will not be a spectator no! You will have this unique chance and privilege to BE the actor.. to DANCE to chant to play music if you wish...

    This Dergah has been founded by Mutlu Baba, Sufi spiritual father, who wished to offer again to the seekers of Truth, the opportunity of immersing in the spiritual practices as tought by MEVLANA- RUMI Spiritual Sufi master and poet, founder of the Whirling Dervishes order.

    So like this, this year the dergah hosts a “7 day – 7 night SEMA” ( and there has been up to 66 days- 66 nights SEMA !!! ... and there will be other each year... ) where YOU can experience and take the taste of the sublime Sufi dance of the whirling Dervishes...where you can have the privilege to get a glimpse- and maybe more- of this Divine Extasy found by turning, whirling, again and again and again, feeling your body flying on the wings of the music, yet at the same time totally rooted in its feet following the strong terrestrial rythms...

    Not so easy at the beginning though.. and needing little time to accomodate and find balance, specially whilst slowing down to come back to immobility... important to be very slow ..
    But once you have found your rythm, balance, techniques.... it is just far beyond anything one can experience.. .. 
    Because this SeMa is not only a dance.
    It is a UNION with your own soul, union with the Divine Soul, union with the unmanifested world, invisible world, which on this very precious occasion may become .. touchable, palpable...

    And what to say about the musicians !?? .. how many were they ? maybe 20 ? or 30 ? ... turning, changing according to timing.. and playing night and day, day and night, not letting a single second without music. Music had to flow in a totally continuous way, according to the original practice,  and anyone who wishes may turn turn turn and whirl and whirl and whirl again and again night and day and day and night...

    Excellent musicians from all countries of the world gathering for this special occasion and playing very authentic ancient instruments  with fabulous and totally unusual sound which take you in another dimension ... and the “ney” (sufi flute) about which it is said that it is the “soul’s voice” ...
    All these instruments uniting under perfect guidance of the musicians create a unique atmosphere where you just wish to abandon yourself, body mind and spirit ... yet when the rythm become so loud so strong so pulsatingthen your body wants to wake up and dance faster and faster and turn more and more and more and more and your mind just dissolve in nowhere and only your body and soul remain, united in the music , vibrating in tune with the pulsating vibration ...

    Very intense experience that cannot really be described by words ! But as strange as it might appear, although you are turning faster and faster, there is a point where you feel you are immobile, and what turns is the world outside. Fantastic discovery which ultimately brings LIGHT and kind of evidence or living proof.. that the world is just Maya, illusion, turning around you ... and the only TRUTH is ATMA, the Soul, immobile, here.

    At home.

    The kids were also at home there and they knew it very well.
    Be it the little 2 year old cute girls who knew the sufi dance maybe before being able to walk !! 
    Be it the 10 or 12 year old boys and girls who just as a group would enter the Sema following the pure tradition, offering their kiss to the Earth and then saluting the musicians and Spirit, and then slowly slowly entering the whirling dance... 
    And if one of them would not really be comfortable with the dance, one more experimented would teach him-her gently and simply...
    Like this...
    Everything becomes so simple when only the SOUL talks...

     

    Food would flow in abundance for all at any time of the day and night, 
    Everyone would be provided with a place to lie down, to rest or sleep, which was the best way to imbibe the vibrations and let the body and mind be just abandonned to the soul !...
    And of course place to wash, body and clothes, place to walk outside in nature, to feel the breeze of the wind, the coolness of the air, to admire the sun set or the sun rise or both ...(not at the same time though .. except maybe in the dreams :o)
    With also always the opportunity to help the organising team in the kitchen or else where... like karma yoga.. good to “cool down” the energy !

    Yes a very fantastic experience which is far beyond of any word that can be written...

    PURE BHAKTI ... UNIVERSAL LOVE ... SOUL’s SOLE LANGAGE

     

    *************************************************************************************************************

     

    To enable everyone  to only focus on their internal experience no photo, no  video could be taken, and it was much better like this. As a consequence there will be no images to show apart from those of the tumata website.
    So the best way to share this experience is to invite you to come and taste by yourself !

    And if you feel some disturbance by hearing many “Muslim” songs or words, if you feel disturbed by an apparent connection with specific religion, keep in your mind that SPIRIT HAS NO RELIGION...

    Religions have been created by human.
    SPIRIT EXISTS SINCE HUMANITY EXISTS (even before!)
    And there is no border, no limitation of any kind in SPIRIT
    SPIRIT is UNIVERSAL

    Yet to be “transmitted” in this manifested world we need words , we need touchable concepts, that our limited minds can comprehend.
    Thats is why Sufism is “mentally based” on Muslim tradition, as well as Yoga is “mentally based” on Hindu tradition.

    But the words, the langage, be it sanscrit, farsi, arab ... should only be considered as SOUND, a VIBRATION like MANTRAS which will resonnate in our body mind spirit and ALIGN our being to the DIVINE VIBRATION so that we can have this experience .. the DIVINE EXPERIENCE.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now back to earth, back to the worldly world, back to the (false) reality of Maya where the limitations of body and mind can be again felt ... but ok.. it is ok ... PRAKRITI .. MANIFESTED DIVINE ENERGY is also wonderful and whatever we might do, this experience will never vanish...

    Thank you Mutlu BABA
    Thank you Oruç BABA
    Thank you Tumata and all the friends who contribute to the organisation of this SEMA and in the past and future... so as to allow US... little aspirants to the whirling dervish’s dances to receive a glimpse of the Divine Extasy ...
