[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 304523, member: 2844"]Mevlana or Maulana means our master. It is the title of Jalal ad-Din Rumi, a 13th century Sufi mystic and founder of the Mevlevi order to which the whirling Dervishes of Konya, Turkey belong. Rumi is buried in Konya Hence the combination of the name Mevlana and the Dervish in the mark. This was probably made by a Mevlevi Sufi manufacturer. Despite religious suppression by the Turkish government (which will only get worse in future), there are many Sufis in Turkey. They are allowed to hold their Zikr ceremonies, if presented as cultural entertainment. They can also use the name Mevlana. There is even a Turkish tea brand called Mevlana. In most other Muslim (and Christian) countries they can practice freely.[/QUOTE]
