AMONG THE YAZIDIS - An Unforgettable Experience at the Yazidi Autumn Assembly (Lalish, Iraq)

- This short film takes you to Lalish in Iraqi Kurdistan - the spiritual home of the Yazidi (Yezidi) Community. I had the privilege of visiting the Autumn Assembly on Day 2 in October 2023 (Jonathan Wheeler).
Yazidis are one of the oldest ethnic and religious communities indigenous to the Middle East. The majority of Yazidis (estimated at 550,000 to 600,000) live in the north-west of Iraq, particularly around the Sinjar Mountains.
Yazidism is an ancient monotheistic religion. Its core beliefs remain secretive.By explicit directive written scripture may not to be circulated in public and viewed by members outside of the Yazidi community. Rather than believing in a source of good (God) and evil (Satan), Yazidism holds that people’s choices, through the heart, spirit and mind, determine where good and evil exists on earth. Melek Taus, the arch-angel of the Yazidis, helps to guide humanity in its decisions between good and evil.
The community is led by the mir (Prince and secular leader) and the baba sheikh (the spiritual leader).
The main temple in Lalish was built in the place where Yazidis believe creation began after the Great Flood. Within the temple lies the 2,500 year old tomb of Sheikh Adi bin Musafir.
The Feast of the Assembly (Cejna Cemaiya) is a Yazidi festival that takes place annually from 6 October to 13 October. The Autumn Assembly is held in honour of Sheikh Adi bin Musafir.
Each day of the Assembly involves different sacred rituals, but joyous dancing is integral to the entire festival.
The film puts you amongst the dancers, as well as amongst the pilgrims visiting the temple and its tombs.
The fact that the Yazidi (Yezidi) people are here celebrating is, in itself, remarkable given recent events.
Throughout history the Yazidi people have suffered 44 genocides.
In 2014 the terrorist group ISIS invaded the Sinjar region of Iraq.
ISIS considered Yazidis to be heretical devil worshippers and launched a genocidal campaign.
More than 400,000 Yazidis fled their homes. Tens of thousands took refuge on Mount Sinjar despite the lack of food and shelter.
Over 3,000 Yazidis, mostly men and elderly women, were killed. Around 6,000 women and children were captured by ISIS.
Although Iraq has been liberated from ISIS, 2,700 women and children remain missing.
An estimated 200,000 Yazidis remain in refugee camps, unable to return home.
To learn more about the Yazidi genocide go to nadiasinitiative.org - the foundation headed by Nadia Murad, herself a victim of ISIL.
I hope that this short film can bring the joy and resilience of this remarkable community to the attention of the wider world. Thank you to everyone who was so welcoming at the Assembly. it was an honour and a privilege to be there, even for just a few hours.

From Lalish all the love to all the world and people with deferent beliefs and deferent religious ❤
one of the greatest shame we kurds will have to live with is not begin able to defend our ezidi brothers and sisters
They feel betrayed to a certain extent. So far that many don't consider themselves Kurdish anymore
@@charananekibalijaun8837 but there old baba sheikh did say that they were in fact Kurds but our weakness has caused this divide
Name 1 Islamic country that gave it's minorities equal rights, let alone better rights than local Muslim population. Not 1 Islamic country exist on world map, because Islam does not teach tolerance towards other religions. Read Quran and check what it says about Kafirs, especially Jews and Christians. "Leave Islam, become Human." - Ex-Muslim.
We are with you. Love from indian Hindus
@Mahor74 is that why they speak kurmanci? Stop this nonsense, of course they're kurds. It's exactly how I wrote it

ये उन लोगों के बीच रहते हैं जिनको किसी और की पूजा पद्धति पसन्द नहीं।
दुनिया विविधतापूर्ण होने से ही सुंदर है।
एक ईश्वर को अपने अपने तरीके से पूजने में क्या हर्ज है।
है तो वह ही सर्वशक्तिमान
Love to our yazudi brothers and sisters from hindu of Bharat.
Yasidis being surrounded by fanatic Islamists, are probably the most mistreated ethnic groups in the world. I hope they will manage to recover from their hardships and keep their ethnic and religious identity. Greetings from Greece an old and truthful friend of Kurdistan 😊🇬🇷🇬🇷😊
Yazidis are so Beautiful Souls,
May they are thrive and prosper 👍👍👍🚩
A beautiful culture who has faced 44 genocides by Islam....still surviving among devils...respect to yazidis...
If you think your religion is true you have all the right but don't say other religions are fake and don't show your brutality on women and children in the name of religion the brutality committed against yazidis shows that humanity is not in your practice
@@sanjaymeena-ep7ue human being
A religion that likes to call other religions fake is a religion of imperialism, existing to conquer the world.
I am from Indonesia and support the Yazidi religion, in my country the religion of my ancestors is often called fake by the religion of imperialism (you know what religion I mean) 😊
1400 years they are living safely in heart of Arabia.. their turmoil began only ater invasion of Iraq by America. Mind it.
And about women and children. First stop female foeticide and woman molestation then comment about others.
வணக்கம் தோழர்களே, வாழ்த்துக்கள், இந்தியா, தமிழ்நாட்டில் இருந்து...❤❤❤
Very happy to see the peace loving community back to happy days. As Hindu Santhani from South India , my wishes to the people who could preserve their identity for so many years despite hostile religion around. My Yezidi brothers and sisters , we could not do anything when you were killed by ISIS but to pray only. We pray for everlasting peace and prosperity
Yazdi are our brother and sisters ... Love from Bharat (India)
Very beautiful....nice to see... ❤❤❤

The Yazidies can be connected to South I Dia,when it was Kumari kandam,which went u Der the sea,many migrated to many places,their God was Lord Murugan sitting on a peacock
😂😂😂 get lost man you tamil
So unique
Save yazdi , save Hinduu inhiendrienert
Love to our brothers and sisters ❤️
I really respect every religion I want to see their festival
Pradakshina, removing footwear in the temple, tying the holy knots, garba like dance, looks of the people, murugan god... and perhaps many more similarities. Separated by geography but very similar - Respect to the Yazidis from India!
I remember these people so deeply who were profoundly and inhumanely treated by ISIS. Good to see them survivors and the young.
My 💕💕 for the beautiful people 🙏🙏🙏
Love and respect to our yazidi brother and sister from hindu of india 🇮🇳
Best wishes to Yazidi community.
❤ from Tamil nadu India ❤
What beautiful girls,love from 🇧🇩
You only looking women shame on you Bangladeshi that's why all people hate islamist
Being an Indian Hindu, my heart is saddened by the attack on the Yazidi people. Hindus have also undergone assaults by Muslims and Christians over the past centuries. But Hindu religion is still alive. Hope the Yazidi people preserve their distinct Identity of their religion customs and culture. Fire worship, temple visit, music, dance, free movement and open mind among men and women, values similar/common to Hindu culture. Long live the Yazidi culture and people. Love and respect.
They are connection with tamil culture. They are worshiping tamil god lord murugan with peacock.
yeah lord shiva's son lord murugan
Its like peacocks exist in real life 🤯
😂😂neighbouring kannada people doesnt know what murugan is and you sre saying yezidis worshipping murugan!!😂😂😂😂 day dreamers tamils

The dance is very similar to Hindu folk dances of central India during festivals 🎉🇮🇳
Yes, Tribal dance kondliya
It's called chobi / dabka and is common to the entire region from kurds to arabs to assyrians
When I see the rituals, I can see many similarities with Hindu cultures. Lots of love to Yazidi brothers and sisters !!!
ஓம் முருகா முருகா முருகா
🦚 Peacock is the symbol and vehicle of Lord Kartikey, the son of Lord Mahadev Shiva.
Kartikey is also called *Skanda* which slowly became Iskandar, Sikandar and Alexander.
These people are followers of Lord Skanda or Kartikey.
So they have very very ancient Hindu roots.
Do they have trees around their temples such as peepal, bel, neem and do they offer flowers like lotus, marigold,hibiscus.
The writing disappears before one can read it.
GOD PLEASE SAVE YAZIDIS PEOPLE, LONG LIVE YOUR RACE, BEST WISHES FROM🇮🇳 HINDUSTAN
Thank you for video
You are welcome. Warm greetings from Scotland.
Like to know which language do you speak ?
Kurdish
Long live all the Kurds ☀
Ya ..zidi culture is mesopotamian.
The god hindus think is kartiga is actually Dumudzi. Hindus renamed the gods. Murukka is tamils god actually not vedic. Thats why tamil language and culture is older.😊
Many similarities to us Culture Yezdies 👍
My south indian indo aryan ancestors has some connection with them. They have the same religious customs like the circling in sanctum sanctorum, howling during rituals, the sacred fire. All these customs looks the same
Yazidis have some arabic or levantine influence whereas their indian counterparts dont
God bless yezeedi
Allah pak in sab hedayat day

Greetings from india
In one of their main temples they put Indian actress Hema Malani picture as Gid picture without fully knowing she is Indian actress
Yazidi's are Hindu brotherhood people! We belong same clan but a different segment! Dont worry...World will believe you when a Avatar! (Kalki) would rise up from your place! My Prayers to Tawûsî Melek. May he bless you all!
To everyone wondering about the building of their prayer house. This was build in the 18 th century so yeah it has many influence from other temple, church architecture
Kodava in Karnataka, India are of Kurdish origin.
Yezidis are kurdish people. Kurds belong to iranian group of people. Indo-aryans , iranians, kurds all belong to wider indo-iranian group. Sanskrit and avestan ( ancient persian) were sister languages. Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world.
Original religion of all indo-european people was somewhat similar to ancient Hinduism.
Yezidis🤝indo-aryans🕉🚩❤
Love from India❤
Kurdis are Shepherd in world
is Yazidis related to south indians ????
No theyre kurds
help prince James
