In this short but resonant recording the voices of Sheikh Cemaleddin Efendi and Ayberk Efendi rise together in a heartfelt chanting of Ya Hayy, one of the Divine’s most beloved names: “O Ever‑Living One.” Though only a few moments long, the duet captures the gentle power of dhikr when two hearts align in remembrance. The simple repetition invites listeners to pause, breathe, and sense the living presence that sustains all creation—a practice at the heart of the Royal Ottoman Society’s gatherings.
We invite those moved by this brief encounter to explore further recordings and teachings within our digital collection, where many more moments of sacred remembrance await. Discover them in the Royal Ottoman Society Library.
