So far, there has been no research on mysticism in the mantra Kidung Rumeksa ing Wengi (hereafter called KRW). The main point of view of this study was Javanese mysticism. KRW, as the main data, is a set of mantra texts (words, phrases, and sentences) with a total of 43 stanzas Hermeneutic techniques were applied to analyze guidelines. The results showed that KRW reflects implications about the evolution of Javanese culture from oral tradition to written documentation, strategically incorporating Islamic concepts. Sunan Kalijaga (the author) boldly docu-mented KRW in writing, combining Islam with Javanese culture while maintaining its authenticity. Intertextuality in KRW shows integration between old traditions and new Islamic teachings, facilitating acceptance among Javanese society. KRW facilitates integration in complex cultures. This research was expected to give important implications that, oral literature, especially mantras, is one of the means that can be used as a medium of mysticism, and education.

It is obvious that proverbs have their roots in the cultures of any society. Russian proverbs and sayings show a foreigner the traditions, customs, and way of thinking of the Russian people. In the current study, by monitoring posts on social networks and using passive observations of the speech process of native speakers, the communicative situations in which paremias were regularly resorted to were identified. The authors provide a review of the existing research in this area and conclude that it is necessary to conduct an additional experiment in order to obtain the most objective results. The choice of primary material for the questionnaire is explained, and preliminary results of a comparison of various sources of paremias are presented. Examples of formulations of questions proposed to informants are given that make it possible to identify not only the fact of recognition of paremias, but also their understanding. Eventually, further ways of research development are presented.

The construction of a system of national literature is based on an understanding of the meaning of the language form and its adaptation to the area where literary creativity is developing. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that it is necessary to highlight the directions of the locality of texts and their formalization in the space of a geographical nature. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that the connection between the locality of a text and the geographical basis is considered as the foundation for the formation of the literary tradition and as a formalization of previously known social processes. The article reveals the features of the literary heritage of M. Zhumabayev and its influence on the formation of the modern literary Kazakh language. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that the local text is considered within the framework of a general understanding of the problems of national literature.

The principles and practice of sustainability have gained momentum in the last 15 years and now form a central part of conversations around social praxis and the future. It has been proposed that the theories driving sustainability science are embedded in Indigenous history, and it has been shown that many ancient traditions always concerned themselves with sustainable and ethical living. Among the traditions identified with environmental stewardship are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders of Australia and Māori of New Zealand. Of interest in this context is the Vedic tradition, a tradition of sustainability and ecological awareness which identifies the source of sustainability in Natural Law, the universal source of tradition, language, and knowledge. In this paper we survey two Indigenous traditions as they relate to environmental stewardship, and explore their relation to the Vedic tradition.
