One of the sensational week - almost sensational news that the country declared the election of the Supreme shaman Russia.It is not a little alarmed shamanic community of Tuva.At the very least, the country reacted to this idea even skeptical, but rather negatively.Leading shamans gathered on the kind of advice is to define their position.In Tuva, by the way, is officially legal practice over 300 shamans.
They reviewed with interest the list of potential candidates for the new position, which appeared on the website "Shamanstvo.ru."The list of big, four pages, and Tuva great honor - there are 52 of the 188 names of Tuvan shamans.
Shaman - not the governor, not the president and not even the supreme religious person to elect or be elected.Shaman - it is the flesh and blood of the earth, its people, and elections - it is a policy to which shamanism by definition should not have a relationship.
"It's politics - says the shaman society" Dungur "Niyulya Tyulyush. - And we do not deal with politics. The destiny of these people - to heal the soul, the body, to perform the rites and not to lead from the top, including the other regions, whereEach has its own characteristics. "
That's what this bill says the head of shamanic society "Tos-Deer", one of the most famous shamans of Tuva Ai Churek Oyun "If the supreme shaman of Yakutia will, or from Buryatia will, then I will have one year to go thereperform all the rituals. I - against it. I always do the ritual, rituals associated with spirits closer to their land ... "
So why was it necessary to raise the issue of a supreme shaman of all Russia?
That opinion recognized in Tuva authority in the field of religious studies, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Nikolai Abaeva: "The state has made repeated attempts to somehow streamline the activities of the various wizards, shamans, healers. From the standpoint of the Ministry of Health it is not streamlined. It is difficult to control.Trying to create a country-wide organization, to elect the supreme shaman is - an attempt to control them. "
With regard to Tuva, there is already an undeniable authority on shamanism, people who recognize their spiritual leader of all the shamans of the republic - it Mongush Kenin-Lopsan that April 12 celebrated its 84th anniversary.
Doctor of Historical Sciences, full member of New York Academy of Sciences, holder of the title "Living Treasure of Shamanism" American Foundation for Shamanic Studies, Life President of Tuvan shamans, too, does not approve of the idea of the All-Russian elections.According to him, Tuvan shamans - the most ancient civilization of mankind.This unique phenomenon is only just beginning to take a second breath in Tuva.A different kind of "initiatives", such as the election of the supreme shaman of all Russia, but it hurt.
