I'm so happy that Lithuanians also embrace their Paganic roots. We, Latvians and Lithuanians, are the only ones from Baltic tribes that can preserve and protect our heritage and never let our traditions die.
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
Last country in europe to accept xtianity
Save the baltic people and their traditions!
Hail the AllFather! He walks among us!
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.
Crusades, Wars, invasions, communism and Catholicism. Doesn't matter what you throw at us you can't kill the pagan in the Lithuanian. Ilgai gyvena Lietuva, ilgai gyvena Lietuviški dievai!!
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??
@@smarterlogic1281 Haha you wish that.
The blood speaks, and weights more than all.
It's kinda similar like Vedic culture. Love from India ❤.
So here we have true Paganism, expressed by the people as part of their culture, how amazing...
@@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.
Fire of Ugnis guide you to our People's Ancient Glory.

love back, beautiful :)
More and more I'm feeling that paganism or to say true ancient religion, believes is running through my veins. I'm Lithuanian and proud of it!
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
This is original culture of Europe devasted by monotheistic mindset. Very relatable to our old Vedic culture. In some aspects more beautiful than ours. It's a living testament of our ancient forefathers. Hope they allow nonveg here.
More Aryan than Vedic, but connected definitely. Non-veg for sure
With love from your small sister Latvija,,,,, we share the same religion🤗🤗🤗🤗 Ar miilestiibu no Latviijas,,,, dalaamies Vienna ticiibaa🤗🤗🤗🤗
Beautiful, good to see the "paganism" resurfancing all across Europe after so many years hidden from the fanatic eyes of the christendom. Hope to see one day all the traditions from the North Africa and middle east freeing themselves from the islam too.
Based fanaticism.
You are right.
I like French cars
Ironically in celebrating our folk traditions amd differences in our homelands the world becomes more united.
@@oldboy977 Embracing 'the other' is often healthy and beneficial, we are not meant to live in isolation and ignorance after all.
This is a new iteration of Lithuanian pagan ritual. Absolutely beautiful. I'm glad I'm coming back home after 9 years of living abroad. Time to go back home
I'm feeling the same after 11 years! In 3 months i will finally be back.
Welcome back :)
It is so great to know that Lithuanians are coming back home! A strong fact against Russian fascist propaganda. Make the repatriation massive!
I completely forgot that I commented here and now I'm actually back to my homeland.
Now get married and have a family
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life. A complete opposite to the mainstream entertainment they try to expose to use whenever they can.
In 🇱🇹 Lithuania and Latvia 🇱🇻 u gonna find a lot non mainstream, TH-cam has a lot, sad part is that a lot is lost during ww1 ww2 and Soviets...
Balrogs and Bagginses yay greetings from Lithuania
You are right, that's true.
Really amazing.. no matter how they try, the true essence and spirit of who we are never will be broken.. it is something deeper and larger than we realise yet.. but the time will come. I am 100% sure. Sveikinimai broliu iš Latvijos
We won't make oblivion we will save traditions I like very much your song festivals! Brālis
would be great to have common Latvian-Lithuanian, Baltic song festival. Both Riga and Vilnius
@@mantasnekrasas8574 Sutinku, agree.
@@mantasnekrasas8574 Good idea. Maybe on Baltic Unity Day/Battle of Saule day? I was very disappointed when in Klaipeda on this day last year, and there was nothing happening at all, not Latvian, or even Lithuanian flags raised.
@@niklas2656 yeah I was also disappointed...
I don't know why but this shant makes my cry in positive way. There is a lot of emotions. Love it.
Same here❤❤
I might be american, but my family escaped from the soviets with my grandfather from latvia, and grandmother from lithuania. Will always honor my ancestry. Working on a full sleeve tattoo. My upper arm is complete with Vytis. My lower arm will be a curonian. With things like the iron wolf etc mixed in. Never forget your roots!
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! ❤
I feel the power of my European ancestors. I feel energy entering in my body. Greetings from Slovenia, Prekmurje region

After all these years raving at the club's in Ibiza, Spain and UK I realised - that this type of ceremony on it's own is so much stronger emotionally than any raving on drugs I've ever had.

Laikant brandos egzaminus mane labai stipriai užkabino šios giesmės, mūsu tautos praeitis...ateitis.. man tai buvo lyg šauksmas namo, mat paskutinius 6 metus gyvenau užsieny. Po poros metu šauksmas mane pagaliau prišaukė ir aš grįžau studijuoti į Lietuva. Dabar giedosiu gimtinėje!
Smagu, kad grįžot namo į Lietuvą!
What a beautiful culture.
I am Indian but I love Baltic peple.
Our languages are similar, our gods our similar. Hell we even believe in "Darna" same word as dharma. Researching my lithuanian heritage led me to sanatana dharma
All this seems very familiar to me, Kulgrinda seems very similar to our offerings to Kuldevta. Swastika you formed can be found in every Hindu household without fail.
It feels so great that still there are more people in the world who are holding on to their root. My people from northeast India is holding on to our old religion and tradition though we are less in number but we are keeping our culture alive.
You must ... or you will be left with nothing. Be proud of your ancestors!
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?
beautiful and enchanting. Blessings of the gods upon the Lithuanian folk.
This is so beautiful.
With love from Latvia.

A big HELLO from an Indian pagan my fellow Indo European brothers and sisters. Never forget the traditions of your ancestors.
@@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.
Very interesting!
For me as an estonian I see the cultural similarities but still estonia is a little bit more of a finnic culture with roots from scandinavia
But it is definitely related with estonian culture
CHEERS MY PAGAN BROTHERS!
🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹
Cause we are Baltics,,,, sister countries including yours
I'm an American, from Scandinavian, French, Irish and British roots but I know there are ancient "Indo European" connections with the Baltic people. This gives me some living sense of the pre Christian heritage. It is meaningful especially to Baltic people but also to everyone with Indo European roots. Keep it up, keep the flame.
I'm so glad I descended from Lithuania. I'm glad to see after all of history pushing there shit in they are still strong in culture
support us every way you can
i mean the heritage. not recent politics
@@vakarejant I want to but I cant find anything about the culture.
i know. if you cant read lithuanian i cant recomend anything that would be worth investigating but for example Jūratė statkute de rozales is a historian that migrated to venesuela so she was investigating our history in latin texts 30 years ish. i think. so if you familiar with spanish u can try looking in to her books.
@@vakarejant I only know English and few words of Norwegian. I was probably going to teach myself Lithuanian might as well start now haha
Beautiful! Just Beautiful!
Nice greetings from Germany to the Lithuanuan people.
This sounds so much like a Vedic chant. We are connected across millennia, my Baltic cousins.. This is truly a powerful invocation to the Gods.
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.

Connecting with Lithuanian and Latvian culture makes me weep. Living here in North America where European descendants are so far removed from their ancestral lineage is heart breaking - but it's also empowering for people to go back to their roots.
you should come to Lithuania sometime I recommend it America or Canada?
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!
Long live the ancient Lithuanian faith. May more and more Lithuanians resort to the true religion of that land and move away from the imported faiths that seized the land and its people.

Excellent work!! Our pagan ancestors will be pleased to hear the calls once again. I think w the end of Communism, the collapse and corruption of Christianity and the invasion and organization of Islam, all of us of European decent are remembering WHO WE ARE and HOW WE GOT HERE! I have felt it myself at a recent lighting ceremony of an Odal rune and the spark of true self was lit in my inner being. The pagan beliefs are true because they are completely organic and sprung forth from our folk and made us who we are. 😊👍

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 ...

My Grandma was Lithuanian;unwavering strength through most difficult times. Her parents came to U.S around 1902. *Always reminded*: Lithuanians were the LAST to convert to Christianity, LAST,and not quietly, enter the Soviet Union. Romans couldn't take them either; only trade. NEVER mess with Sofie's family. I remember being young and hearing her speak little Lithuanian; turns out she was "putting the curse",as the family called it, on someone who stole $ from Grandpa's company. Surprised me because she was such a devout Catholic. Such sacrifice by all of them so future generations can survive and pass on traditions of the culture. Turns out business partner died 2 weeks later; heart attack.🤔 Don't mess with Sofie..😉 ❤😇
Sounds very similar to my grandmother, timeline and everything.

Belleza el espectáculo. Lástima no tenemos la traducción. Me encanta este festival Lituenses. Un saludo desde Paraguay, Sudamérica. Feliticitaciones
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.

Thank you, people who follow the old ways, indigenous religion really need to support each other and not attack one another over petty ethnic squabbles.

❣️ from India. In recent times I learned about the similarities btw Vedic traditions and Baltic traditions. Also about words in Baltic language similar to Sanskrit. It's nice to see just like India Baltic nations were successful in preserving their culture. More power to Baltic people.
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.

Awesome! Do not let it be gone, please.
unless we all embrace this. its being erased and neglected

Not Baltic or Finnic
person, but so appreciative of the Pagan heritage coming from and thriving in your countries, especially Romuva and Maussk. You are beautiful models for the future of this magnificent planet.
love, from a Gaelic pagan. May all of the white race remember our ethnoreligions
why do you larp when you dont believe in it?
@@MilesianPaullook at your profile picture.
I support you, even as a Black American woman. It seems to me that all peoples of the Earth would be better off if they returned to the ways of their ancient Ancestors. It would also free the white races from being blamed for all of the Earth's woes.
Proud to be Lithuanian
Highly Glorious Lithuania! Stay strong and beware corrupting foreign influence!
Bravo to this country. which, unlike the US, is not trying to bury its past. Rather it is trying to preserve its history, culture and heritage for future generations.
@@benjaminchooby6760
it's russian propaganda, don't pay attention brother;) I am Lithuanian and you are our brothers ! ;)
the official patriotic american "heritage" is a celebration of colonization, genocide and destruction of indigenous and african spiritual heritage. only now people are waking up to this
@@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.
@@EsmereldaPea Ačiu! Amerikos lietuviam tikrai nėra "simple life" bet mes į priekį einam.
Recently found out that my Great Great Maternal Grandfather was born in Vilnius. Have fallen down a rabbit hole and ended up here.💓
My Ancestors came from far east Prussia so they had these same traditions
Who knew, Lithuania was the biggest country in Europe in the 1400s.
Beautiful reconnection to our own European Gods.
so similar to vedic tradition. love from india
We are both sons of the Proto-Indo-European gods that walked the Earth not many Yugas ago! Even though evil spirits, all over the World, Asia included, in this era twist reality through manipulation of information and by feeding the weakness of men and try to turn Aryan again Aryan, the gods will find a way and we will once more have a world where Sat is in the lips and minds of all men. Hail (Jaya!) from distant Germanic South America!
@@FabricioRWitt we don't whether god's are real or not but we are certain that are ancestors existed , let's honour them.
@@akashsingh4005 no we know the Gods are real
You should know that 🇱🇹 n 🇱🇻 language is a classic Indian and Ancient Greek.
Yes vedic and lithuianian traditions have same roots even langue have so much similarities
I am with you Lithuania! Thank you for this chant to our GODS!
@Teh Google User That could be disputed but all god men do bring others to a higher form of consciousness.
O čia mes pavarėm.
I love Lithuania even more 😍
All of this is beautiful, but the song starting at 2:05 especially was incredible. It sounds so epic and awesome.
Очень волнующе!Чувствуется зов веков.Привет из Ромове-Рокойто !
Both of my parents are Lithuanian, but I have lived my life in the USA. This is emotionally overwhelming for me and reminds me who I am.
I am of Lithuanian descent. I don’t know much about my heritage because my Grandfather and Father died when I was young, but I’m learning. This is fascinating and beautiful!
