A Darga (derga) is a humble clean place - A dedicated environment for reaching to Divine Presence.

Sanctuaries, retreats, temples, synagogues, churches, mosques, ashrams, sweat lodges, so many different ways - all places of worship where people attempt to become closer to the Creator or become more in touch with one's own spiritual being or purpose in creation. Many, unfortunately, not all, but many, are mostly dedicated to social interaction, more akin to country club settings than houses of prayer and worship. While all providing a sense of belonging and community holy sanctuaries should be primarily focused on reaching to Divine Presence. To learn to fly you need a flying instructor. To reach Divine Presence you need to find someone who has already reached and can show you the way.

To the extent these places of worship help you to loose your identity while providing a method for purifying and cleaning the heart, they may help you move towards higher awareness, actualization, spiritual advancement, annihilation, whatever you wish to call it.

To the extent these places exist to provide feel good services to make you believe you are someone important, give you a title or identity, or pamper you with physical pleasures - pleasures that cause the ego to be happy, they are false and will ultimately inhibit your spiritual advancement.

Today, there are so many places dedicated to dirtiness. Millions of places promoting material, physical, mental and sexual pleasures - all of which dull the spiritual senses and dirties the heart.

So more than anything a Darga (derga) is a dedicated place that is clean where those who wish to reach Divine Presences can come for ten minutes, two hours, one or more days and attempt to purify their hearts and reach Divine Presence. True actualization requires a clean heart and good intention.

So when you come to a Darga (derga) you are leaving behind the material world and dedicating what time you are able to spend at the Darga towards purifying your heart and reaching to Divine Presence.

The best Darga (derga) we have found is located in Northern Cyprus in a small town called Lefke. If you are able to make the journey it is well worth every effort and expense.

For those wishing to make this journey we now offer visitors a place to stay. The Saddiqi Rose House is located in the center of Lefke Cyprus and is walking distance to Sheikh Nazim Al-Haqqani's darga and house.  You can get more information at: http://www.saddiqirose.com
