Worship of Tengri

Tengri and Uma blessed Temujin and was titled as Genghis Khan. He used to worship Uma or Uma also known as Goddess Kali and Lord Shiva also known as Tengri, the god of Blue Sky and Mountains.

The Empire of Genghis Khan was twice the size of the Roman Empire and Muslim Caliphate and four times the size of Alexander the Great.

Worship of Tengri is Tengrism. The core beings in Tengrism are Heavenly-Father and Earth Mother. It involves shamanism, animism, totemism and ancestor worship.

Tengri was the national god of the G?ktürks, described as the "god of the Turks" (Türük T?ngrisi). The G?ktürk khans based their power on a mandate from Tengri. These Rulers were generally accepted as the sons of Tengri who represented him on Earth.

Tengri is considered to be strikingly similar to the Indo-European sky god, Dyeus, and the structure of the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European religion is closer to that of the early Turks than to the religion of any people of Near Eastern or Mediterranean antiquity.

The most important contemporary testimony of Tengri worship is found in the Old Turkic Orkhon inscriptions, dated to the early 8th century. Written in the so-called Orkhon script, these inscriptions record an account of the mythological origins of the Turks.

The oldest form of the name is recorded in Chinese annals from the 4th century BC, describing the beliefs of the Xiongnu.

Khazars originally practiced a traditional Turkic form of cultic practices known as Tengriism, which focused on the sky god Tengri, similar to Mongolian Blue Sky God Koke Mongke Tengri.

Rites involved offerings to fire, water, and the moon, to remarkable creatures, and to “gods of the road” (Old Türk yol Tengri, perhaps a god of fortune). Sun amulets were widespread as cultic ornaments.

A tree cult was also maintained. Whatever was struck by lightning, man or object was considered a sacrifice to the high god of heaven. The afterlife, to judge from excavations of aristocratic tumuli, as much a continuation of life on earth, warriors being interred with their weapons, horses, and sometimes with human sacrifices: the funeral of one Tudrun in 711-12 saw 300 soldiers killed to accompany him to the otherworld. Ancestor worship was also observed (similar to Pitru Devatas in Vedic Religion).

In 965 AD, as the Qa?anate was struggling against the victorious campaign of the Rus’ prince Sviatoslav, the Islamic historian Ibn al-Ath?r mentions that Khazaria, attacked by the O?uz, sought help from Khwarezm, but their appeal was rejected because they were regarded as ‘infidels‘ (al-kuffar: pagans). Save for the king, the Khazarians are said to have converted to Islam in order to secure an alliance, and the Turks were, with Khwarezm’s military assistance repelled.

It was this that, according to Ibn al-Ath?r, led the Jewish king of Khazar to convert to Islam.

An ancient traditional pre-Christian account of Hungarian origins says they are the descendants of the Babylonian Nimrod.

The legend claims that Nimrod had two sons, Magor and Hunor.

It is said that Magor was the ancestor of the Magyars and Hunor was the ancestor of the Huns, so providing the common origin of the Magyars and the Huns (Khazars).

Khazars were descendants of the Turkic tribe, known as the Huns or Hun, that invaded and savaged Europe from Asia around AD 450.

Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people and known in

Turkish as Hazarlar, Tatar as X?z?rl?r, Hebrew as Kuzarim, Arabic as Khazar, Russian as Хазары, Persian as ????, Greek as Χ?ζαροι, Latin as Gazari/Cosri/Gasani who created what for its duration was the most powerful polity to emerge from the breakup of the western Turkish steppe empire, known as the Khazar Khanate or Khazaria. Their influence in Eastern Europe extended well into the countries we now know as Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. The Khazars were once worshippers of the Siva Lingam before they became Jews.

Khazars were instrumental in the creation of the Magyar homeland of Hungary. Names like the Russian Cossack and the Hungarian Hussar came from ‘Khazar’, as did the German for heretic, Ketzer. Their home was the Caspian Sea, which became known as the `Khazar Sea’.

Khazaria long served as a buffer state between the Byzantine Empire and both the nomads of the northern steppes and the Umayyad Empire, after serving as Byzantium’s proxy against the Sasanian Persian Empire.

They developed their own tongue called Yiddish, which is the language of the Ashkenazi, and it did not come from Israel, but from Germany and Eastern Europe.
