Through this mini-series, written in a single breath, I attempt to encapsulate my interpretaion of essence of the Spirit of Kazakhstan. It is multidimensional tapestry that weaves together the natural wonders, philosophical heritage, and resilient spirit of Kazakhstan.
At the heart of this series lies the majestic "Barys" - the snow leopard, gracefully roaming the hills of the Tengri mountains. Delving deeper, we encounter the profound influence of Abu Nasir al-Farabi, a distinguished Eastern philosopher born in 870 in Farab city, now known as Otrar in Eastern Kazakhstan. Although he lived long time ago, his legacy lives on, intertwining with the roots of the trees and carried by the mythical bird, Samruk.
Al-Farabi's teachings serve as a symbolic bridge, connecting Eastern and Western cultures, harmonizing their philosophies and enriching our collective understanding.
Lastly, we delve into the worries and triumphs of Kazakh women, focusing on the remarkable figure of Tomyris, the queen of the Massagetae. Hailing from an Iranian people within the Scythian pastoral-nomadic confederation of Central Asia, her story epitomizes the strength, intelligence, and indomitable spirit of Kazakh women throughout history.
