The national poet and great thinker of the Turkmen nation, Magtymguly Pyragy, following the wise exhortation of his dear people “Let it be little, but let it be long,” left behind immortal poems that touch on all aspects of the world and human life.
The name of Magtymguly and his poetic voice, both in his time and in the years that followed, especially during the Renaissance of the New Era of the Prosperous State, thanks to the high-level state policy of our Hero Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar, resounded like an echo from the mountains and spread throughout the universe. The unique and extremely valuable aspect of this name and voice is that it does not only signify the dignity of a single individual but elevates the reputation and honor of an entire nation – the Turkmen.
There is probably no doubt that classical literature has a very effective impact on the human mind, especially on the developing minds of young generations. For example, in the creative works of our great thinker and poet Magtymguly Pyragy, themes of life, patriotism, heroism, advice, horses, love, and nature are intertwined. His poems about the homeland, heroism, people, unity, and solidarity occupy one of the most prominent places in his work.
Our great poet Magtymguly Pyragy, through his artistic works – stories and poems – praised the patriotic education, aesthetic education, labor education, and spiritual-moral education of children, creating love for the Fatherland, respect for parents, and reverence for science and books.
Magtymguly is considered the pride and glory of the Turkmen people, recognized as a poet of the past, present, and future. Our great poet not only made Turkmen literature known among the Turkmen people but also revealed it to the peoples of the world.
In the year 2024, declared in our prosperous state as the “The Ocean of Wisdom – Magtymguly Pyragy” thanks to the tireless efforts of our Hero Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar, who highly honor the poet and his wonderful poems, which are a great teaching for all generations, great opportunities have been created to worthily honor the wise heritage left by our ancestors, to study it, and to effectively use it in the education of generations.
