KŪLGRINDA - Chants to Lithuanian Gods 

nafing die in lithuanija

the fuck are you babbling about?@@zztomaszeizys770

its a shame christianity came like cancer and destroyed many religions in other countries, in our own country too , lithuania has few celebrations of old times, but they are mixed with catholic things sadly

Proud Pagan!!! 💪 return to your roots

@@IdealMaster55 💪💪

Yup hail paganism, Hinduism (ancestors of pagans) are still alive. 🕉️

@@ineffabledharmicpolytheist7828 Hinduism is developed from paganism,so basically paganism is ancestor of Hinduism

@@navaneeth1087 anything!!!...made up things n wrote??... Paganism couldn't survive heat of church n almost dead n ur comparing with Hindus which has civilization n religious meaning to it... tell me which civilization emerged in Baltic before Indus valley civilization??

Shakti Öertlin, what does your name, 'Shakti' mean?

lol

@Domantas Thats Right

@@ruzario18 I don't know but shakti is a Sanskrit word meaning power and it's also a name of goddess Durga.

Ive found the Old Gods more true to us, Romuva is growing strong

I feel exactly the same way 🥺 I’m born Lithuanian but grew up in Sweden since 6y/o. Wish I was more involved in paganism

@@immaturtle100 Embrace it and go back to your roots, I feel more in tune and connected with my ancestors and my history by coming back to the Old Ways

@@immaturtle100 Why do you call it Paganism......that's a wrong Word

@@sunnymitra6372 why

@@crabLT Actually Muslims wouldn't be an issue, nor issues associated to being PC. Religion in the UK is almost invisible, next to non existent, there's a complete indifference to religion in the UK, the land of Darwin's children. So the difference in the UK is that people following Paganism are from the fringe of society, mostly hippies. Which means it could never be an expression of national culture and identity. That's what makes Lithuania so amazing, its of the people and not seen as some ridiculous nonsense from the distant past that has no relevance today, practised by a bunch of weirdo's, looking lost as they prance around Stonehenge in robes made from velvet curtains and white bed sheets...

@@stefanseniuk339 It is said that we are children of nature. And it's true to some extent. We were the last pagans in Europe so I guess some of that spirit is still there?

@@crabLT Your Islamophobia haa no place near Romuva. Sincerely, a North American Romuva elder.

@Furor Teutonicus Correction: a Romuvė who follows in the footsteps of her ancestors who believed that everyone deserved to worship their god/s how they see fit. Pre-Christian Lithuanians invited, welcomed, and supported all manner of other faiths into their midst, including Islam and Judaism. If you claim to be Romuva (which I'm not saying you are), you best read your history.

@Furor Teutonicus Correction: I honor my ancestors (and Gods) by following their example.

🙈👌

Focused intent verses surrender to abandon........ there is power in both.

You must find inside yourself Peace ✌️ n whole world would rotate upside down till Harmony, you can feel everything without a crack Mate! Go to parks feel what nature gives you how wind blows, birds n etc... Connect with nature you gonna find your inner peace!

Would be amazing if you learned the language instead, tattoo is only for aesthetic but it is truly the language and traditions that honour the said roots of a culture.

@debaptisticrites seems a bit silly when no one around me speaks it. Learning a language I can't communicate to anyone with seems like a lot of work for no reward

Ne viskas matuojama pinigais ir nauda...

Language might be too much, but learning about our history is important. Your ancestors stopped the Christian crusades, almost deleted their faction, fought the mongolians, russians, Swedes, Austrians... and so much more things our ancestors did

that is so so beautiful, it means a lot! ❤

In 🇱🇹 Lithuania and Latvia 🇱🇻 u gonna find a lot non mainstream, RU-vid has a lot, sad part is that a lot is lost during ww1 ww2 and Soviets...

What religion are you?

That's great... Keep it up. The northeast Indians share many cultural similarities with the natives of Borneo. In Sarawak most of the natives are now either Christian or Muslim, but in the Kalimantan side many still practice Kaharingan, a word that denotes balance with nature, like Darna in Lithuanian Romuva and Dharma in Sanskrit. Interestingly both Lithuanian Romuva and Kaharingan have a tree as the main symbol of their faith. I would love to know more about your religion. Thanks.

I have huge respect for our NE brothers and sister who didn't surrender themselves to Christian missionaries. Lithuania shares many resemblances with the Sanatan Hindu dharma coz of its pagan culture.

Is it true that at some very long time ago, Nordic-looking people settled in India?

There’s something you read about actually, the Lithuanian language has much of the remnants of the proto indo European language, and, by what I’ve read, has strong relations to Sanskrit, so that might be why it sounds like a Vedic chant.

The Aryans stemmed from the proto indo Europeans, who stemmed from the Yamnaya, whom ultimately stemmed from the Ancient north Eurasian people

Is it true that at some very long time ago, Nordic-looking people settled in India?

@@sammhyde7589 No, indo aryans stemmed from indo europeans, Yamnaya also stemmed from indo europeans, but are a different group - the proto balto slavic people, while indo aryans are the ancestors of all iranian and northern indian ethnic groups, and yes, indo europeans stem from the ancient northern eurasians.

@@descendedofrigvedicclans2216 any religion that has an element of nature worship like worshiping the sun, rivers, plants is pagan.

@@descendedofrigvedicclans2216 Paganism is sister tradition to Sanatana Dharma. Gods Goddeses = Devas Devis.

@@descendedofrigvedicclans2216 I didnt say pagan is dharma. Dharma means natural way, pagans also believe natural way. They are not the same thing but they agree on lots of things and philosophically they have the same core. So they are in a way, brother/sister religion because core philosophy is the same: Idea of Natural Law, Gods, Goddesses, respect to nature, cyclical time etc.. But Dharma is superior because of vast libraries of texts like Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam etc..

@@descendedofrigvedicclans2216 they are offshoot of indo european relegion

The word Pagan refers to those people who believe in a Form of God or many Gods. This word was given by Christians to those who were non-christians at that time. We believe in the samething. Only difference is that they have lost Hindu (Sanatan Dharma) connections. Before 2000 years, advent of Christianity, it was consideration part of same religion. Example, Indra, the Hindu God and Zeus, the Greek God are both King of Heaven, ride the elephant, and carry lightening bolt as a weapon. You can say they are former followers of Sanatana Dharma. But at the end, same religion. Both are Pagans. Ask any Born-again Christians. They will agree that we practice a type of paganism. See, not so different. Thank you.

It looks and sounds gorgeous :) Keep up the good work!

Ilenia Cont thank youu♥♥

@@monosodiumglutemate8216 No. Odin doesn’t have an equivalent in Baltic Paganism. Perkunas is the closest but he is closest to Thor in Norse Mythology, Zeus and Jupiter in Greek-Roman mythos, and Indra in Vedic religions.

@@PanSzawu hail the pagan god perkunas, Odin, jupiter etc from the city of indra 🇮🇳

+Sonny Thomas Great words. I also felt like a key open a chest inside of me and its hard to describe. Some kind of brighness not from the skies , but from inside . Maby thats what Hinud refers "Chakhras". After Cristianity took everything that is good out of old faith and what they didint take called "Pagan". Paganism does not describe the old religion. If you noticed all the churches are built on top of shrines and built near old treees where old faith was celebrated. This old faith connects not only europeans, but the whole Indo-european continental massives. Tho I wouldnt call Cristianity evil or anything as it contains most of what old religion was. It just hinders me that it is also Organisation .... With a Pope ? and A person on cross ? That was a historical figure not as much of a religion as Jesus basicaly started the organisation of old religion and called cristianity ... Thats history not actual faith ...

Zemaitis Surname Actually Originated In Samogotia And In Lithuanian Samogotia Is Zemaitija

A person from the region of Žemaitija (low lands) is Žemaitis. Such an honorable Lithuanian surname!

I'm here to help you. You can email me at ricardas.tarbunas@yahoo.com

Žemaitis is a surname of one of very important figures in Lithuanian history. Jonas Žemaitis was an incredibly brave leader of the Lithuanian partisans during soviet occupation and a de facto president of Lithuania. Be very proud of your name! 🇱🇹

They are our Indo-European Pagan brethren so it's good to see more people returning to this Sanatana Dharma way of life.

Sanskritas ir lietuvių kalba Kadangi tiek sanskritas, tiek lietuvių kalba yra labai archajiškos, yra nemažai giminingų ir panašių žodžių, turinčių vienodą ar artimą reikšmę. Pavyzdžiui: agnis (अग्निः) - ugnis, vajus (वायु:) - vėjas, aśru (अश्रु:) - ašara, aśvā (अश्वा) - ašva, kumelė, kūrmas (कूर्म:) - kurmis, ratha (रथ:) - ratas, devas (देव:) - Dievas, navyas (नव्य:) - naujas, madhu (मधु) - medus, vīra (वीर:) - didvyris, svapnas (स्वप्न:) - sapnas, sanas (सन:) - senas, sravati (स्रवति) - srovena, śvaśuras (श्वशुर:) - šešuras, sūnus (सूनु:) - sūnus ir daug kt. Be to, kalbos panašios ir savo morfologija: skr. asmi - asi - asti = liet. esmi - esi - esti. Šis kalbų panašumas yra ne dėl artimos jų giminystės (lietuvių kalba priklauso baltų-slavų kalboms, sanskritas - indoarijų), tačiau dėl to, kad abi šios kalbos išlaikė daug indoeuropiečių prokalbės elementų.

@@juozasg Ačiū. As a lietuvos amerikietė (or amerikos lietuvė), I agree. And while my direct ancestors did not participate in slavery and some of the more heinous acts towards other peoples, as a White woman in this country, I still benefit from those systems still in place to favor those with light-skinned European heritage. And the other commenter is correct, most (or at least half) of the US's Founding Fathers were Deists, not Christians. Indeed some of them even expressed doubt in a Supreme Being. It's unfortunate that so many Americans don't know their own history. How did we get so off track in these comments? :)

Also, @mike89128, Lithuania is not a model country. In 2019, Romuva was AGAIN denied recognition by the Seimas (basically the Lithuanian parliament or senate) as a "traditional religion" despite meeting all of the requirements. They appeared to have the votes needed. A last-minute letter by the Catholic church and push by some told lies about Romuva and switched people's votes. So please don't think every one welcomes the old practices. In addition, there is still a lot of anti-Semitism in Lithuania and a refusal to take responsibility for their part in the murder of something like 95 or 98% of Lithuanian Jews during WWII. Just in the last few years has there been a push to recognize and commemorate the rich Jewish history of, for instance, Vilnius. But yes, it does have one of the strongest pagan movements in Europe.

Europeans that migrated into the Appalachians of the U.S held on to their traditions for a long time, but there was an active effort by big bussiness and Gov. to demonize and destroy it, starting way back in the 40's and 50's.... and it worked for the most part. There used to be literal propaganda(There still is some), demonizing the Scots-Irish people there..... the term "Hill Billy" came from these Propaganda films. They were made to seem dumb, dirty and poor. Look up Appalachian Clogging. It's basically Irish River dancing. It's still done in some parts of the Appalachians

Fellow American here. I couldn’t agree more.

Europeans tend not be very welcoming of Americans curious of their roots, in my experience. At least, Brythonic Europeans. Nice to watch from afar.

I feel the same in my heart, my sister. My grandfather is from Kaunas. I have always been drawn to Baltic and Slavic traditions, my father would tell me it's in my blood. I yearn to go to the motherland!

Who knew, Lithuania was the biggest country in Europe in the 1400s.

So happy to see this resistance. It gives some hope to us Hindus, who are fighting a life and death fight (I know, sounds weird since people think our population is big, but the government and world is trying their best to subjugate and convert us)

Hola Mario q tal ? 👏 Es una oración (una oración pagana precristiana) a la diosa lituana Žemyna (La diosa de la tierra y la fertilidad). No es una típica canción : Es más un encantamiento simbólico, con mucha repetición. También cantan sobre el fuego sagrado y los campos sagrados de la antigua Lituania. El paganismo tiene profundas raíces en Lituania (y también Letonia, Estonia, Polonia): más de 3 milenios de continuidad. Los paganos bálticos no construyeron edificios de piedra ni pirámides (como los mayas o los incas). Porque no había piedra fácilmente disponible en el Norte, a diferencia del Sur de Europa o en América Latina. Pero nuestra lengua y nuestro folklore (cantos, danzas, mitos) son ese patrimonio vivo, querido y protegido hasta ahora. Sobrevivió a oleadas de ocupación y represión (el mayor daño lo hizo la Rusia/URSS imperialista, que durante los siglos 19 y 20 intentó borrar a Lituania, Letonia, Estonia del mapa mundial). Por supuesto, fracasaron, pero han causado mucho dolor y sufrimiento a las naciones bálticas. Por eso ahora 🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 apoyamos tanto a Ucrania 🇺🇦 : los Ucranianos luchan por su derecho a existir, a ser una nación libre con su propia cultura y sus tradiciones.
