On the evening of 12 March 2016 the Royal Ottoman Society gathered in the historic Pfalzbau theatre in Ludwigshafen for a night of living Ottoman Sufi practice. Guided by Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi, participants shared a space where remembrance (dhikr), poetry and music come together as an expression of love for the Divine, and seekers from many backgrounds could feel rooted in heritage and present in the moment.
Collective chanting, gentle recitation and quiet reflection let each heart join the communal pulse of Sufi devotion. Such evenings nurture both the inner journey and fellowship, and remind us that the path of love is always open to those who gather with sincere intention. We look forward to welcoming you at future gatherings.
