The Ringing Cedars of Russia #2

Rusya'nın Çınlayan Sedirleri

Rate this book
Sedir ağacının insanın fiziki ve ruh sağlığına yararları antik çağlardan beri biliniyor. Bugün de mobilyanın yanı sıra ilaç ve kozmetik sanayinde kullanılan sedir ağacının Rusya’nın kuzeyinde, Sibirya bölgesinde bulunan bir türüne “çınlayan sedir” adı veriliyor. Uzun ve sağlıklı yaşamalarıyla dikkat çeken yöre insanlarının kutsal kabul ettikleri ve “ağaçların çarı” diye niteledikleri bu sedir ağaçlarının gövde kalınlığı birkaç metreye, boyu ise kırk metreye kadar ulaşıyor ve 500 yıl kadar yaşıyor. Yüzlerce yıl boyunca kozmik enerjiyi emdiklerine, biriktirdiklerine inanılan bu Sibirya sedirleri, ömürlerinin sonlarına doğru bu enerjiyi geri vermek, başka canlıların kullanımına sunmak isterlermiş ve çınlama sesine benzer bir ses çıkarmaya başlarlarmış. Bu nedenle “çınlayan sedir” denilen bu ağaçlardan adını alan kitap dizisinin kahramanı genç bir kadın: Anastasya. Bu sedir ağaçlarının bulunduğu ormanlık bir yerde yaşayan Anastasya spiritüel iç görüleri, evrene, insana, hayata dair benzersiz görüşleriyle on yıl kadar önce dizinin kitaplarını kaleme alan yazar Vladimir Megre’yi etkilemiş, ardından da Rusya’da ve yayımlandığı onlarca ülkede birçok insanın hayatının değişip, dönüşmesini sağlamış bulunuyor. Anastasya’nın önerdiği eğitim sistemini deneyen kurumların son derece başarılı olduğunu, ekolojik köylerin kurulmakta olduğunu da belirtirsek olayın sadece lafta, yazıda kalmadığını da ifade etmiş oluruz.
İşte bu benzersiz ve etkili kitap dizisi artık orijinal dili Rusçadan, Koray Karasulu tarafından çevrilmiş olarak, Türkçede de yayımlanmaya başlıyor. Şu anda dokuz kitaptan oluşan dizinin kitapları üç ayda bir yayımlanacak.

Anastasya, adını taşıyan ilk kitapta Rus işadamı Vladimir Megre’nin 1995 yılında Sibirya ormanlarına yaptığı ticari gezinin hikâyesi anlatılıyor. Anastasya’nın öngördüğü gibi kitap kısa sürede uluslararası çoksatar olarak sayısız okurun hayatını değiştirmiş ve değiştirmeye devam ediyor.

İkinci Kitap / Rusya’nın Çınlayan Sedirleri’nde ilk kitapta ortaya konan evrensel kavramlarla yaklaşımlar daha etraflı bir şekilde ele alınıp işleniyor. Okuru uzay, zaman, ruh gibi geniş alanlarda maceralı bir yolculuğa çıkaran ikinci kitap, Sibirya’nın tayga ormanlarındaki cennet gibi köşelerden Rusya’nın büyük kentlerindeki kaba gerçeklerine, atalarımızın gizemli geçmişinden insanlığın parlak geleceğine doğru götürürken yeni bir yaşam anlayışını da ortaya koyuyor.

Vladimir Nikolaevich Megre (born 23 July, 1950 in Kuznichi village, Gorodnyansky District, Chernigov Region in Ukraine), the author of The Ringing Cedars of Russia book series, was a well-known entrepreneur. He spent most of his childhood with his grandmother Efrosinia Verkhusha, a village healer.
As a teenager Vladimir occasionally visited Father Feodorit, a priest of the Trinity-Sergiyev Monastery. Later he was shown there the picture «The One and Only» which he described in his second book before the picture was revealed to the world.

Vladimir started an independent life early and left the parents' house at the age of 16. Since 1974 he lived in Novosibirsk and worked as a photographer with Novosibirskoblfoto, a service company.

At the beginning of Perestroika (reforms of the late 1980s) he was the president of the Inter-Regional Association of Siberian Entrepreneurs. In 1994-5 he organized two large-scale trade expeditions with a fleet of river steamers along the River Ob along the route Novosibirsk -- Salekhard -- Novosibirsk at his own expense. On this trip, an encounter with Anastasia in the Siberian taiga changed his entire life.

It had been a secret for a long time for relatives and friends what made him, an entrepreneur with ten years experience, to pledge his property and spend his savings on unprofitable trading trips. The mystery was revealed in his books with Anastasia as the main character. Vladimir Megre brought something really invaluable from the trips.

Throughout 1996-2006 nine books were written by Vladimir Megre (The Ringing Cedars of Russia Series: Anastasia, The Ringing Cedars of Russia, The Space of Love, Co-Creation, Who Are We?, Book of Kin, The Energy of Life, The New Civilization, Rites of Love).

In 2011 the author became Laureate of Gusi Peace Prize.

By now 11 millions copies of the books translated into 20 languages have been sold. In 1999 Megre established the Anastasia Foundation for Culture and Creative Support in the city of Vladimir and launched the site www.anastasia.ru. Readers' and press conferences take place in Russia and abroad.

The author holds readers' and press conferences in Russia and other countries.

The most active readers of Ringing Cedars of Russia book series unite into public organizations, one of the aims of which is the creation of Kin's domains. In 2010 another book "Anasta" was issued. The author plans to write a scenario on the basis of his books.

The author comments about himself and his books:

Good shall prevail on the earth!

- The parade of worldly rulers, no matter what grand temples they might have built, will be remembered only by the filth they have bequeathed to their descendants. Water will prove to be the criterion; the measure of all things. With each day that passes, the water seethes with more and more contamination.

The above words were pronounced by a character from my books: a recluse from the Siberian taiga, Anastasia.

My name is Vladimir Megre. I was born on the twenty-third of July, 1950, in a Ukrainian village. Then I studied, got married and worked in Siberia, but that isn't the main thing. The most important aspect of my life emerged after my meeting with Anastasia.

It was the beginning of perestroika in Russia, and I had just gone into business. I was a leader of the Entrepreneurs of Siberia Association. I used to sail with goods on a motor ship over the Siberian river Ob up toward the Arctic circle. I enjoyed wandering around the taiga by myself, while the ship was moored.

It was on an isolated bank of a taiga river that I one day met a recluse from the Siberian taiga. Her name was Anastasia, and she would soon transform my outlook on life.

The second book by Vladimir Megré, 'The Ringing Cedar Series' kept the flow gracefully connected to 'Anastasia' in the first series. I love how this literature manifests and intermingles in so many other facets of my personal life. It's like 'The Never Ending Story', where the reader becomes totally enmeshed in the story and can often become an active character within the same story. (Well, in truth we can ;)

Right NOW, on this sacred Earth, many are reconnecting with ancient wisdoms, and this book is super instrumental in facilitating this process with great force. What amazes me most about the series is the heart language that is deeply interwoven into each letter. It's as if the story and information are only secondary to the roller coaster of emotions one feels throughout. I was reading this book winding through the Highlands of Guatemalan, in Lake Atitlan, through the Belizian Cayes, and after visiting super sacred sites throughout Meso-America, which aided me in connecting deeply with Anastasia and the Dolmens in Russia.

I feel that the 'modern' world has a severe case of amnesia with relation to our past, and this book in the series really starts to excavate the sacred remembrance residing within the jewelbox of our hearts. If you resonate with the first book in the series the second is no different, so enjoy and spread your feelings and thoughts afterwards so that the momentum of this grandiose movement gains even more momentum.

While the first book of the series ('Anastasia') was mind-opening and impossible to put down, the second one was not. Some chapters seemed a bit random and slightly boring. However, the message was still strong and worth reading.

One star means I did not finish this book. I found it to be less of a light and refreshing tasty confection than the first. It was instead jumbled, rambling, egotistical, without a unifying principle. When it got to the catastrophe stuff I gave up.

Enlightening read - I'm ready for Book 3!

I would recommend this book to anyone, period. Especially those who feel a deep connection to nature, or would like to deepen it for themselves, and those who have faith in the power of love and the human spirit.

Dar viena siaubinga patirtis, tik šįkart autorius labiau pasakojo apie taip kaip pirmąją knygą leido, bastėsi po spaustuves ir haliucinavo anastasijos balsą.

Ok. so this series is worth reading even though the writting is pretty bad. The story, however, is fascinating and makes you wonder if it is factual or not. Regardless, it bring magic and beauty and spirit into ordinary reality. It offers amazing new ways to live on this planet as it tells the story of an exceptional woman who lives in Siberia. She has been called a Buddha and these books can be viewed as her teachings. If you are an earth lover, you will find these books to be sacred.

I managed to make my way through the entire text with some difficulty. I would assign 'Anastasia' to the fantasy genre. This is obviously a translation from the original language, and as such, has some unique word associations. The premise of a young woman of the Russian taiga having world-changing powers is a bit off the wall. This is indicated as one of a series of like manuscripts. I think I'll pass on reading any more.

The second book of the "Anastasia", "The Ringing Cedar" series. I've learned so much from these books, especially how easy it could be to change our planet to a peaceful planet, to create the paradise for us, for our children and grand-children. These books have made me understand what is going on our planet. This books are life changing.
I'm reading the 10th. book right now and I can just recommend all this books to anyone. These books are worth to read.

An excellent book that left me feeling encouraged. It's so refreshing to read a book which explores the idea of returning to a loving, wholesome way of living, in all aspects of life. Respect for creation, respect for feelings, respect for a collective society. Compassion and love for all. If you're interested in exploring a natural way of being, check out this series.

This one was such a snoozer compared to the first book. Most of it is boring details about the author's life after his first visit with Anastasia. A couple parts were interesting - like when he met the homeless ex-KGB officer (sad story). About 25% of this book was worth reading.

I really enjoyed the first book, but this one isn't that great. It is a lot about the author, which I think is the least interesting parts of the series. He doesn't visit Anastasia again, and there is very little new information.

#bookchallenge #octombrie - o carte uitata in biblioteca⏳

💚Am continuat sa citesc seria "Anastasia", Volumul 2 - "Cedrii Sunatori ai Rusiei". Nu pot spune decat ca de abia astept sa citesc si urmatoarele 8 volume! 😍 Vladimir Megre creioneaza foarte frumos, in carte, invataturile primite de la Anastasia si descrie superb tot ceea ce a trait, alaturi de ea.
🌲Am inteles cum natura il ajuta pe om, cum noi suntem legati de tot ceea ce ne inconjoara si am inteles de ce avem nevoie sa traim cat mai aproape de natura. In ziua de azi, putini oameni mai traiesc o viata reala, fara a se lasa ghidati de televizor, de stiri, de jocuri, de reclame. Putini au ramas aceia care incearca sa traiasca, atat cat pot ei, autentic si frumos; insa este timpul sa ne trezim putin din joaca asta de-a "robotii societatii"...

很棒的续集,讲述了作者出版遭遇的奇遇,更深入揭示了大智慧和神的存在。“不必知道晚霞为什么美,欣赏就是了”。“如果你不信,给再多解释也没用”。现代人的发明设计为了和自然抗衡,远古人是利用自然、在自然中运用,这种自认为有创造力的想法何尝不是自负。难怪最近看的一场精彩的卡塔克(古老传承的印度古典舞之一)表演,艺人说我此生要致力于表演我祖父和父亲的作曲,不准备自己创作。这位艺人不愧其“torch bearer”的称号!

See my review for the first book in the series, Anastasia, but the more I read the more grateful I am. She continues to clear the cobwebs from my spirit and lay down bridges on my path.

These books have a lot of truth in regards to how we should be taking care of the earth. This books talks a lot about the Ringing Cedars trees and the importance of keeping our plants, air, water clean and healthy. These books want you to try hards to take care of your own space and land.

I did not enjoy this book. The first book had me thinking that plants & animals could really benefit each other. This book just kept getting so unbelievable that I considered it more of a fiction novel.
