Today the whole world is drowning in garbage. This garbage follows us everywhere: in cities, villages, forests and water bodies. He became an inevitable companion of the consumer society, but this is a fixable matter. The main rubbish accumulates in our heads and its elimination is a more urgent task.

To cleanse the mental rubbish of artificial doctrines, anti-natural worldview, false holidays is the only way to survive in our time. To build life in the natural rhythm of all life on Earth, in the rhythm of the Sun, to get away from the darkness of lies, from deliberate complications to a simple, natural one is the right way to survive. The rhythm of life of earthlings should be set by natural solar holidays.

Ancient Slavic beliefs were based on the inseparable and harmonious coexistence of man with Nature. No wonder most of the Slavic gods were identified with natural phenomena, Svetovit is the god of light, Yarilo-Sun, Perun is the god of lightning and wind, etc. All pagan holidays were tied to the main natural phenomena - Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox, Winter Solstice. The main object in this faith was the Sun - the main source of life and joy on Earth for everyone living on it.

One of the solar holidays - the Vernal Equinox - is a unique phenomenon of Nature. On this day, "the center of the Sun in its apparent movement along the ecliptic crosses the celestial equator." In 2016, the vernal equinox occurs on March 20. On this day, the Earth, revolving around its imaginary axis passing through the poles, while moving around the Sun, is in such a position in relation to the luminary that the sun's rays carrying thermal energy fall vertically to the equator. The sun moves from the southern hemisphere to the northern, and these days in all countries, day is almost equal to night.

The vernal and autumnal equinoxes are considered the astronomical beginning of the respective seasons. The time interval between two equinoxes of the same name is called a tropical year. On the Day of the Spring Equinox, the New Year begins for many peoples of the Earth. Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan - practically all the countries of the Great Silk Road associate the beginning of the new year with this natural phenomenon. On this day, light and darkness are divided equally. It is from this day that the renewals in Nature begin.

Among the ancient pagan Slavs, the vernal equinox was revered as Slavic Women's Day - the Day of the Goddess Vesta, the Goddess of Spring. On this day, they celebrated the arrival of spring, the arrival of birds, baked larks from dough, pancakes and cookies with solar symbols. The Vedic celebrations of the arrival of spring were filled with the sacred meaning of the victory of Light over Darkness, the awakening of all living things and the beginning of a new life.

Our ancestors had an institution of female priesthood, to which the so-called. Vesta or Vestals, who were "messengers" ("broadcast", acted as conductors of "God's Message"). All girls and girls before marriage were trained and potentially had such abilities. They were called Vestas. The message is literally a thought (truth) derived from Vesta. On the day of Vesta's meeting, the names of girls who had reached the age of maturity and could be betrothed were announced. Vesta priestesses took a vow of celibacy. All the other girls were unbelievers in relation to the priestesses and therefore could enter into marriage.

The ancient traditions of the Slavs are simple, natural, organically connected with Nature - ancient roots that can help our people survive in these difficult times.

On the eve of the vernal equinox in Belarus, the fifteenth Ancestral Veche gathered in Minsk. The most important concept for a pagan is Rod. It is not for nothing that it is present in the most important words known to every Russian person from childhood - Motherland, people, relatives, breed, Nature …

In 2016, the Ancestral Veche was held as the International Conference "World harmony - a counterbalance to world domination" on March 11-13.

Our ancient word "Lad", indicated in the theme of the conference, also has a deep meaning. When we call - Let's get along with each other! - this means: Let's negotiate! Thus, Lad can be described as a social contract between all members of society. Such an agreement is necessary so that each person and the whole society live and develop in inner harmony, in harmony with Nature and the Universe.

These fundamental principles of ancient Slavic beliefs in modern conditions have become more relevant than ever. The announced topic of the conference was especially relevant in the current natural, moral, social, economic and geopolitical conditions. For any person living today on our mother Earth, it is obvious that something bad is happening to Nature. And without bending his heart, it should be said that man himself is guilty of this process, who imagines himself to be the center of the universe and the owner of what he got from the Earth with its many riches - forests, rivers, mountains, plains, etc.

But our planet is not an insensible body, it is a living organism with a very complex, well-organized system of interaction between various subsystems. In this organism, everything developed harmoniously according to the laws of Nature until a person began to actively, barbarously invade its boundaries and rebuild everything to his liking. The fundamental principle of such an invasion was - "after us, even a deluge." Today, humanity is reaping the consequences of such a rash and destructive policy.

The knowledge of the correct interaction between man and Nature, based on the centuries-old experience of our ancestors, should form the basis of a new world order - the World Lada, in which Nature, its preservation for descendants, and not man, should be put in the first place.

It is symbolic that the Conference opened on the kind and hospitable Belarusian land, in the light of Belarusian knowledge - the National Library of the Republic of Belarus.

The event became a worthy continuation of the enormous creative work that the team of devotees of the Slavic movement led by Vladimir Alexandrovich Satsevich has been conducting for many years.

As a result of the Conference, a concept was adopted that can be expressed in one clear concept of "LAD". It is LAD that is the basis of the future world order and world order, a healthy and life-affirming worldview. The final document of the Conference recorded what was done.

Fret must become a universal principle

- interaction between personality and Nature;

- interaction of peoples and states;

- interaction between people and authorities;

- interaction between people in the family, in the team.

The fret should become the essence of the inner world of a person, when there is no discrepancy between thought, word and deed, which is the guarantee of the spiritual health of a person.

Some representatives of Christianity at the conference traditionally claimed a monopoly in the formation of the spirituality of the people. However, the Rodnovers and Vedists refuted this monopoly in a well-grounded manner, presenting evidence of the preservation of paganism in Russia, which withstood the forceful pressure of Christianity. Evidence was presented for the existence of dual beliefs over the centuries. Let us recall, in particular, the existence of Vedic communities in Belarus up to the twentieth century.

The conference demonstrated the strengthening of the role of the traditional native religions of the Slavs in the area of settlement of the Slavic peoples, showed the growing craving of the younger generation for the revival of the primordially Slavic nature-responsive way of life. At the same time, there was a distinct tendency towards cooperation, and not towards confrontation between supporters of different ideologies.

It was very painful to hear at the conference in the speeches of many speakers who spoke about our unity, language and customs, not our specially introduced harmful words: business, manager, work, etc. These words carry a hidden negative meaning. For example, the literal translation of the word "businessman" is full-time, i.e. a person who has absolutely no free personal time, the word "work" (instead of the positive word "work") contains the derogatory word "slave" - and should be used in a negative context.

The Slavic world is able to offer the world a project that can save Nature and humanity by establishing a harmony between man and the Earth, people and the Cosmos. The essence of this project is harmony in outlook, thoughts and deeds, harmony of human thoughts and interests of the planet. Only together we will put things in order on the Earth, carefully preserving and multiplying everything that Nature gives us, for our children and grandchildren, for the entire future of humanity.

Life in the rhythm of the Sun should unite all earthlings, destroying the age-old enmity between peoples, races, religions, parties, and approve the World Harmony.

Happy Spring Equinox!
