The Dünya Kardeşlik Birliği Mevlana Yüce Vakfı example in the context of new religious currents

One of the new formations commonly heard of recently in our country is Dünya Kardeşlik Birliği Mevlana Yüce Vakfı. Although the Dünya Kardeşlik Birliği Mevlana Yüce Vakfı, which is considered as a structuring of religious basis among New Age currents, is a formation originated from Turkey, not enough information is available about it. Observing this absence, we decided to conduct a research on it, with the intention to contribute in addressing this deficit.In the introduction to our study we conducted with this thought, we first stated our hypotheses. Following that, we examined the subject, aim, scope and restrictions of the study, and then gave information about the basic resources used throughout the study. After that, we examined the ?New Age? currents and studied the common characteristics and the philosophical matters they are based on. Then we discussed the definitions, classifications, formations, developments, general characteristics and basic concepts of the new religious currents. Lastly, in this chapter, we gave some examples to the new religious formations among the world and examined their relation to the ideas and the ideology of the Dünya Kardeşlik Birliği Mevlana Yüce Vakfı Foundation.In the first chapter, we reviewed the emergence, historical development, organizational structure of the Dünya Kardeşlik Birliği Mevlana Yüce Vakfı, and its understanding of mission, meetings, publications and other activities.In the second chapter, we mentioned the faith basics of the Dünya Kardeşlik Birliği Mevlana Yüce Vakfı and its apprehension of worship. In addition to this, we compared this to some of the religions and beliefs. We concluded our study with the Conclusions chapter that includes our evaluations.Keywords: New Age, Vedia Bülent Çorak, Mevlanacılar,
