Addressing it today to you, I want to notify you about the decision of the Council of Elders of our community. Thus it was historically formed, that the separated Mari settlements because of their misfortunes and unhappiness had to search for patronages and protection by a powerful prince, fighter-bogatyr Chumbylat. In the hearts of people he deserved a special respect, with the lapse of time a national hero became as a Mari public Divinity A Nemda Kuryk Kugyza. Our ancestors began to come to the bow to Chumbylat's stone to ask for the help and to thank for it.Even during the years of persecutions nothing could destroy the faith of people. In our days ancient traditions unite from a year to year more and more Mari people. We call on you not to forget about your historical native land, remember your roots and traditions of your nation. And let A Nemda Kuryk Kugyza to unite us, will give us powers in the present time and in the future!
If you hear the call of heart, then let Osh Kugu Jumo to light up your way to the holy place. On the 4th of July 2008 in the praying grove on Chumbylat will be take place a sacrament contact with the Godfather.
With respect the Leader of the “Mari community "Marij Kumaltysh"
Vyacheslav Mamaev
