Hundreds of followers of Master Beinsa Duno from Bulgaria and abroad gathered August 19 to celebrate the first day of the new divine year in the Seven Lakes region in the Rila Mountain.

August 19 is the biggest holiday for the White Brotherhood adherents and they dance the sacred for them Paneurhythmy, often called the dance of the soul.

The most fervent proponents of the philosophy of Petar Dunov, including many Britons and French, have been up in the Rila Mountain as early as the end of July. They hail the sunrise at the Hill of Prayers, which they consider to be a divine mystery.

The August celebrations traditionally continue three days - from August 19 till 21.

The followers of the White Brotherhood gather to dance Paneurhythmy every morning at sunrise from March 22 till September 22.

The dance of Paneurhythmy means "supreme cosmic rhythm": pan means whole, all-over, cosmic; eu means true, supreme, the essence from which everything arises; rhythm means periodicity or correct regularity of movement. Duno followers believe that when they perform the exercises consciously, they attune themselves to the Cosmic rhythm.

The religious holiday of the White Brotherhood was officially recognized in Bulgaria with a decision of the government on December 16, 2005.
