In the light of the writing tradition of the “Oguznama”, which has been held in high esteem by the Türkmens since ancient times, I am writing Ruhnama within the same tradition.

Philosophy is a tool of wisdom, and we can use it to analyse the features of the Türkmen spirit. In the epics of “Oguznama”, the historical events are ordered chronologically. The spiritual and moral dynamics which make a nation into a nation are not considered at length in them. The Epic of “Oguznama” is the writing related to the reputations of the ancestors in the past. By means of this writing it is intended that later generations feel proud of their ancestors and, in other way, own their awareness of history. Thus, the information or knowledge functions as the source and spring of the heart.

“Oguznama” and Ruhnama, we can say that Oguznama is a book which is only related to the past. In these books the future is not living either as an idea or a target or a sign. On the other hand, the basic feature of the “Ruhnama” is that I can analyse and present the past from the perspectives of the future.

Ruhnama is truly the “Oguznama” of the third millennium.
