EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, members of the White Brotherhood, an international religious movement, are seen performing a ritual dance near Babreka lake in Rila Mountain. The year is 2011, and these devotees have gathered to celebrate their New Year. Led by Bulgarian founder Peter Danov, the teachings of this unique movement blend elements of Christianity and Hinduism with a strong emphasis on brotherly love, maintaining a healthy diet, and living harmoniously with nature. The image captures the essence of their beliefs as they gracefully move in unison amidst the breathtaking landscape. The open space surrounding them serves as a reminder that their faith extends beyond walls and embraces the vastness of creation. With clouds floating above and water reflecting below, it symbolizes their connection to both heaven and earth. From an aerial perspective, we witness how this ritual dance forms a perfect circle - perhaps representing unity among its participants or the eternal cycle of life itself. The view from above also highlights how small we are compared to the grandeur of nature's wonders. This photograph not only showcases a mesmerizing moment but also offers us glimpses into different dimensions: spirituality merging with physicality; tradition blending with innovation; ancient wisdom meeting modern aspirations. It invites viewers to contemplate our place within this intricate tapestry called existence while reminding us that there is beauty in diversity when guided by love and respect for one another.
