Tengrism Episode 2: Philosophical Concepts, the Tree of Life and Afterlife (Documentary)

Where do you see similarities between Tengrism and other religions and belief systems?

By the way:
Tengri and Umay being „like man and woman“ does not mean that they were a „couple“ like humans, but rather that they resembled the male and female genders respectively. Just want to clear that up.

i never understand how those people tell kagan as cygan or something like that. it's a hard word not a soft one. kaa-gan. in you alphabet maybe it can be like: ca-ga-un

how can i practice tengrism in real life? i understand the concepts etc but like what do you do if you are tengrist? maybe im used to religions like christianity and islam etc so im still in shocked lol i keep asking

Wonderful video! Thank you for making it. The Turkish world should revert back to their Indigenous faiths! They will lead the world by example again.

Islam and Christianity only beat them into submission and changed their orientation towards loving the oppressor. Mongol people would regain their self respect if they become devout practitioners of Tengri-ism again. Have to undo what the colonizers did.

Hail Tengri!

MAKE MONGOLIA TENGRI AGAIN 🎉🎉🎉

tengrizam = sotonizam.......

Tengri is "he" or "it"?

Actually in Christian Catholic theology, which is the only sect that uses the term purgatory, hell is the place where you burn forever, purgatory, which may not even be a place, is a temporary state of purification. All those who undergo purgation are guaranteed entrance into Heaven.

Hungarian folklore and subconscious are full of tengriism-like ideas based on universality and nature, yet the Humgarian official religion is the exact opposite, a Western religion based on exclusivity and virtuality. Perhaps that is why Hungarians tried to somehow reconcile the two in a very special kind of amalgamation, which became the theory of holy crown and basic ideology of the Kingdom of Hungary. To this day Hungarian spirituality is very different from Western European ideology in every way. Yet, very few Hungarians are actually aware of all of this. They just feel that something is off and foolishly believe it is a political issue, which is hilarious. No, this is about two words: egy, which is the root word for both unity and the universe represented by Ős ten, the father tengri; and szét, the word for apart, represented by Set, the Egyptian good of the desert, storm, war and seclusion, exclusivity and virtuality. All of this is my own interpretation and this is not scientific, merely an intuition from my part.....

This might sound strange but it seems very similar to Judaism. It has shared motifs and has a lot in common with kabbalistic beliefs

Dingir/ Tengir / Tengri and now we Turks say Tanrı to name of God. Also, Turks have believed in One God namely Tengri as source of life. (Much before Islam) Some sources say this is why Attila of Hunnic Empire got angry to Christian Trilogy and fighted to collapse Rome of Pope.

Also, Quran mentions about a strong commander of a huge army most scientific for their age ruling all teritories from west coast to east coast. He is called as Zülkarneyn (Double Horn). I think he was a turkic prophet who did not punish any people without cruel and bad behaviours. I think most of turkic rulers have exampled him and tried to rule all world in goodness as he was their ancestor.

I only heard about the story of some "great tree" growing between world of darkness and light. I don't remember other details, but i think it used to hold balance between them, the peace. And it was called: "a rich tree", "Bai - terek"

I believe your speculation regarding the missing components of tengrism, such as the tree of life possibly having a network function of sorts, is certainly valid👍

Btw are you a Muslim or a follower of tengerism 🤔

Iam Indian and iam extremely proud of being tengerist 🇮🇳🤝🇲🇳

Tengerism is most true religion witch people don't relise

TENGRISM is a great religion, it have alinement with Mother Nature , unlike Islam and Christianity who believes in conquer and control and force other people to their religion, which even themselves didn’t understand.

There may be too much syncretism here. We first notice this in the Horsed man with the captive eagle- This practice, the original falconry was ONLY practiced by herding tribes, which were, admittedly Turkic. Those purer older Mongolic and Siberian peoples would not consider such a thing, as the Eagle was central to a quite different story, as it was regarded as the animal most associated with the Great Sky- which is what Teng-Gri MEANS, translated.
But travelers going N-S in Central Asia understand the Bon , who in the long past south shared the idea of the high-flying vulture, who carried the body[parts] of the dead [all dead, whether human or Other Animal] , and from the Arya (who were at first a steppe people, - the word Iran MEANS Aryan, and of course, that group swept into the Indus, their lineages and beliefs carrying the disposal of the dead in"Towers of SIlence" where the dead were laid, and the silent vulture picked bones clean, taking them to the Sky. In the Tibetan Bon, special men had the job of chopping up bodies and spreading the chunks on mountainsides, for the Vultures to take to Great Sky.


The ridiculous islam thing of prophets and social rules and "blasphemy" had NOTHING to do with Teng-Gri, Who rains and snows and dries and has Its seasons as do all its creatures, without favoring one over another, whether individual or species.
There is no "submission" there - that hierarchical groveling was an artifact of societies "domesticating" - enslaving, for such farce as irrigation agriculture city-states of SW Asia.
Only when humans overpopulate do such practices arise.

The Mongols regarded themselves as offspring of Wolf, and would return their dead out to the grass to return them to the carrion-eating Wolves.
Other peoples , sometimes having to explain with death stories, regard themselves as People of the Swan, connecting that common death in childbirth with the woman returning to her Swan Skin which the child accidentally found, and disappearing again (that tribe gave the original story distorted into Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake." . I will not tell these and other stories in detail here, as you will have to go to Siberia, when the Russian empire finally soon dissolves, to recapture the wisdom of each

Humans, were the only animals who cannot understand the speech of other animals, and there is a story sequence concerning that phenomenon as well. THe narrator above may have understood the essential ecological ethos, as he referred to it.
TO some Steppe-Siberians it is a grave wrong to dig into the earth, as it harms all the living roots of life. THe Steppes you now see from Kazakhstan East, are the result of Russian attempts to imitate the agriculture of the rich fertile lower Don, Dnieper, Dniester. They failed because of the higher and drier climate, turning huge grassland areas to dry scrub. [this also happened in the Norht American West when Euros came and destroyed the grass. Once bison roamed, lopping off only the young green, moving on as do normal nomadic denizens. It was the farming and cattle raising that destroyed Steppes now overrun by desert plants.

We've reconstructed the pre-abrahamic , more practical realistic beliefs across much of high Asia. NO permanence is given to lives, though , due to similar behaviors passed down among MANY animals, plants, ideas of "reincarnation" arose. But the Teng-griists largely understood the ABSOLUTE uniqueness that arises only once, just as scientists understanding the never-repeated DNA and epigenetic molecular changes that make NO individual organism like another.

Why the ancient Chinese Daoism is like Teng-gism is clear. We, say both, cannot understand the Way, and can only learn through attentive observation all our days. What is translated as "heaven" merely means Sky, distorted by those abrahamic religionists who seek to dominate, control, collect, from others.

the bible is about shamans.

gOd is a volcAno and she is comin

this is the background for the bible stories.

live and let live my friends , we are all in this materialistic world
waiting and searching for redemption of some kind .
waiting and searching for answers when we can feel
and when our souls have the emotions to live life in our fleshly bodies we are so fragile and caring but also can be so fierce and strong and so careless ..
Every living thing is waiting and searching for love , but love is all around us in every living being , we just have to let ourself be loved and give love in return .
We are waiting and searching for justice , because not every loving man should be wicked and not every wicked man should be loved , but every wicked man can love , and every lover can be wicked .

With love and peace to this planet . Don’t forget people , Life is short , our souls have retrieved body’s .
not the other way around , our bodies retrieved no soul .
let’s make humankind great again .
let’s spread the love . And may The Almighty God Bless Us .

I hope Tengrism and Judaism and Christianity will keep growing in this rate for the upcoming years in Turkiye .

With much love and peace people , and much Thank’s to the uploader Khan’s Den , Thanks for your precious time . Sagolasin , kendine iyi bak dostum , güzel bi video olmus .

I see similarities between

Erlik - Hades
Tepegöz - Cyclops
Umay - Gaia? Isis (umay being the protector of children and women (some believed that she also protected the people) and Isis being the Goddes of birth. Turkic people prayed to Umay when they wanted a child)
Asena Legends - Romulus and Remus legend

Uçmağ is not about to fly, its from sogdian language and its not Turk word. Also Tamur not belong to us. but when we met sogdıans theır mythology affected us and we accept it. shortly we dont have hell nor heaven our original roots didnt have.

Useless information

türkcesi yada almancasi varmidir

I am a tengrist . Watch the HU .

I love your video! Can you please provide information about sources you used to create this video?

I wonder if any connection to the town of Tingri (can sound like Tengri) in southern Tibet. And the Uma of Hinduism eg Uma Thurman.

Could this spirituality go back as far as or further than the Yamnaya, also from the Steppe, to 3000BC? The Indo-European languages & cultural similarities go back to Yamnaya — such as Celtic culture which has many spiritual elements similar to this.

Ravens and wolves? Was GOT informed by Tengriism?

I’ll buy your book.

Anatolian farmers must have brought tree of life into belief systems of Europe thousands of years ago ( if it wasn't there already). There really is a world religion. So much in common

wtf i am tengrist mongol, the names are so twisted and some description of the powerful beings are mish mashed as if some one that self thought have described it to you

This is GREAT. Thank you so very much.

Tengry/Tэнгэр/Father Sky
Umay/(Умай)Этүгэн эх🌏/maternal uterus

Let's all Tngrist gather to keep world green!!! Greeting from Mongolia🇲🇳🇲🇳🇲🇳

Bravo! Very informative and enlightening.
The year of 681 is also considered the birth year of proto Bulgarian state, whose religion for at least couple of hundred more years was Tangreizm as well.
You surely have my attention and one more subscriber. *:) Salutations!

Wow these are the people that rulled my country for 500 years.

Rusça altyazı eklerseniz,bütün Türk halklari da izler ,dinler bence

Thanks again!

Please can u release russian version‼️‼️❓❓

The tree of Life, in Italy we have a lot of churches dedicated to Saint Maria of the Oak.

I spent a few months in Istanbul last year (2021). and found that the Islam practiced there, seemed different from what i had experienced in Muslim Communities elsewhere -and especially in the US. It seemed very gentle... and their legendary kindness towards animals was truly Extraordinary! I wonder if this the residual "spirituality" of Tengrism? Whatever it is... it is Beautiful! I LOVE Istanbul.

IYI

A fantastic and informative video! Thank you to all involved.
