SPIRITUAL BASIS OF KYRGYZ ETHNOS’ ECOLOGICAL CULTURE
For Kyrgyz ethnos’ spiritual culture, ecological and gnostic values became a complex phe-nomenon that appears in different aspects of public life, in its historical development. Moral and spiritual, value based and statutory attitudes, requirements, rules and unwritten laws define vital principles for needed inter-ethnic dialogue which also consolidates ethnoses with the nature and cultural environment. As a conse quence, a human should be responsible for the world’s harmony, and not just by his culture but mostly by moral creativity in the name of prosperity of existential harmony. Zoroastrianism, Tenriism, Shamanism, Manichaeism and other forms of pre-Muslim believes have had marked impact on cultural values of the Eastern ethnoses includ-ing on their spiritual culture. Herewith nomads’ (Kyr-gyz, Kazakhs, etc.) heaven-worship took a form of yearning of sublime, made a human prideful, irreconcil-able, and made him or her a person who espouses a phi-losophy of heroism that stands against a slave’s psy-chology. Basis of Kirghiz traditional spiritual culture an-ciently included the next ecological and moral princi-ples: firstly, recognition of the Nature’s wisdom, and admiration of Nature as an environment, and as spiritu-al, moral and ethical value. Secondly, it was people’s constant intention to seek cause-and-effect relationship, to see determinism in natural phenomenon. Thirdly, it was a human’s awareness of his dependence on nature. Fourthly, respect to everything that alive. Fifthly, clear comprehension of certainty of punishment for a hu-man’s disrespect attitude towards nature. Sixthly, study-ing, understanding, familiarization and usage of previ-ous generations’ ecological and spiritual experience (enculturation and socialization). Seventhly, humane-ness and environmental friendliness of public con-sciousness forms. In conclusion the author stresses out that world of nomadic civilization was in full harmony with nature, with original landscape; a nomad in an effort to preserve natural conditions tried to create unique types of houses, cultural traditions, games, etc. The last “World Nomad Games” (Issyk-Kul lake, Kyrgyzstan) help to carry out such mission of peace, kindness, and consent between culture and ecology.
