Since the dawn of humanity’s conscious existence, the journey to uncover, comprehend, and develop knowledge about the secrets and patterns of the universe and nature has been a fundamental pursuit. This is natural, as it was crucial for human beings to confront and adapt to the diverse conditions imposed by their environment for the sake of their survival.
The first sages, through their observations—continuous monitoring, experiments, and persistent studies—developed their minds, striving to identify the basic elements of existence in the ever-changing world, upon which the entire universe is built. They sought to interpret the meaning of life and the diverse manifestations of reality and phenomena.
The knowledge accumulated from their tireless efforts—the fruits of the first steps in scientific inquiry—was guarded by the scholars of the time, the Magi and Priests, as sacred wisdom. This knowledge was passed down from generation to generation as a precious gift, accessible only to chosen experts. The seeds of knowledge they sowed later blossomed, laying the foundation for the advancement and development of science.
Archaeology sheds light on the past, revealing the way of life and scientific achievements of ancient times. In addition to the ruins of once magnificent architectural monuments and structures showcasing engineering marvels, discoveries such as samples of metallurgy, medical instruments, and pharmaceutical equipment bear witness to the millennia-old traditions in various branches of science.
According to the reminder by the Priests of the Haykian Brotherhood, Kurm Harut Arakelyan and Kurm Mihr Haykazuni, today—on the day of Marg of the month of Tre (September 20) according to the Haykian calendar—is the Day of Remembrance for the Magi, a celebration honoring and glorifying our wise Ancestors and the scientists who followed in their footsteps.
“Throughout the centuries, the descendants of the Haykazuni lineage remained faithful to the advice of their Patriarchs, centralizing the schools of the Magi and establishing the now well-known ‘ARAMAGI’ School of the Magi. In doing so, they contributed to the preservation and continuation of their Ancestors’ wisdom. We congratulate the hundreds of current students of the ‘ARAMAGI’ School of the Magi, who keep alive the knowledge of their Forefathers,” writes Kurm Harut Arakelyan in his latest post, which presents and explains the Armenian National Faith.
Science forms the foundation of Armenian identity and self-awareness, strengthening the nation and contributing to the flourishing and prosperity of the Homeland. Wisdom is the source of all good things.
We extend our congratulations to all who sow the seeds of Wisdom and Science, glorifying the Ancestors of Armenia…
