On the evening of 6 June 2015, the Harmonie der Herzen Dergah – the “Harmony of the Hearts” – welcomed two guides of our Ottoman‑Sufi heritage: Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi and Ayberk Efendi. Members of the Royal Ottoman Society gathered to listen, reflect and share in the tradition both teachers embody.
Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi and Ayberk Efendi reminded us that spiritual progress begins with aligning our hearts. Their words, rooted in classical Ottoman Sufism, encouraged compassion, patience and a shared sense of purpose. The evening unfolded through remembrance (dhikr), recitation and heartfelt conversation.
For those who could not be present, the recording preserves the blessings, the recitations and the exchanges between the teachers.
You are warmly invited to future gatherings; information about upcoming meetings is on our website.
