Book Description
About the Book
"Whispers of the Ancient" delves into the ancient Maring cultures and traditions that have significantly diminished in relevance over time. The primary aim of this book is to preserve once prevalent culture and beliefs of our ancestors. It is based on a booklet titled "Bangei Maring Tharma," which was published in 1999 in the Maring dialect by M Koyang Phairong and M Leidar Phairong.

This book is of considerable importance as it embodies the art of storytelling from a bygone era. The term "whisper" signifies the need for attentive listening and thoughtful analysis as one navigates through its pages.

The text addresses traditions that have either faded or been forgotten, as well as the names of certain deities and materials that have fallen out of our vocabulary. It provides valuable insights into the communal traits of our society, thereby enhancing our understanding of the sense of brotherhood that persists to this day.

Moreover, it allows us to observe the complexities of love and sharing within the community, alongside the occasional ostracization of certain individuals. Consequently, it enriches our comprehension of the concept of purity that existed in that historical context. I hope that this book will prove beneficial to all who read it.

Acknowledgement
A translated edition of "Bangel Maring Tharma" has been published with scrutinised researched, titled "Whispers of the Ancients." Although it is a compact volume, 1 am confident that it will hold significant value in the future, as it serves as an important resource.

Preface
The title of the book "Whispers of The Ancients" includes the cultures and traditions of the Ancient Marings. Their way of living has close association with spiritual beings; rituals and sacrifices played an important activity in the daily way of living.

The first two chapter talks about the name of God, Spirits that we worshiped as God and some spirits we do not regard as God but were necessary to pray in their name by circumstances. Not all the spirits are Good but some are evil; some angles, some divine being but in Maring language all of them are address as "thrai" which in translation it means spirit/God. Marings rather used lhangai thrai or lhangaimak thrai which means good spirit/God or bad spirit/God. Here I have translated by using the word diety or spirit where God is kept exclusively for higher divine being.
