Ky-Mani Marley: Rastafari is Not a Religion

www.vladtv.com -Ky-Mani Marley sat down with VladTV and spoke of his roots in Rastafarianism, which he wants to clarify is not a religion involving rules, rituals and regulations that can create a great deal of division among different types of people. According to Marley, it is more of a way of life that abides under the principle of one love amongst all.
Ky-Mani also briefly spoke of the businesses his family owns in the Marley name, jokingly saying that it seems like they start a new one every week.

Rasta is the perfect way of saying, I believe in God but not man made religion . 1

good point...man distorts religion....even in the bible it says to worship alone not in a church

[@jahself9643]

***** They who believe that are representative of the twelve tribes sect and others. I and I, orthodox rastafarians know that Emperor Haile Selassie I supersedes the concept of god. God could be anything, any fragment of faith. Ras Tafari is the spiritual nucleus of the movement. Bless!

[@tanyaemzie3294]

no they don't they believe that they believe there has been a second advent and he came in the form of haile selassie. As christians would believe that jesus came in the first coming. Get it right before you speak. Christians don't believe that jesus is God they believe he is the son and came to deliver his message and teachings of love. Same with Haile Selassie and if you do your research you will see that he is a descendent of David and therefore God.

[@rastaskate4546]

I teach religious studies at high schools and I can tell you from my studies and experience of Rastafari that it depends on what individual that is talking. Just like any other belief rasta is percieved variedly amongst followers. Bobos are generally more ortodox in their ideology along with Nyahbingi if compared to 12 tribes that are more liberal. So in that way it is very much like any other religion. What makes rasta distinct is that it's core really is how someone choose to live: diet, fitness, selected media production and consumption. Therefore, rasta is more like eastern religions, since it is more based on actions rather than ideologies and rituals. In a way rasta is connected to nature and vegan philosophy, which actually is becoming more prominent in the movement than Selassie as we speak. Rastafari evolves just as any other spirituality and that's not sin, that's just a natural process. I believe in nature the most, it always stays the same and should always be respected and cherished. Label me a rasta if you want or not, the point is I don't try to force my belief upon people and honestly do not care what people wanna say because livity mi seh...

[@QuintessentiallyWoman]

tanya emzie - Isn't that idolatry then? Did Haile Selassie ever claim he was God and therefore people should worship him?

I've been on my rasta journey going on a year now being a rasta is working on yourself your body training your mentality to become a rastafari which means u have went on your own path of self acceptance holding no hate for others treating your body as a temple that's why vegan is mandatory and you must be accepted by other rastafaris before you can fully call yourself 1 being a rasta does not mean you are a rastafari so no rasta is not a religion but to be a rastafari there are rules that's why smoking the herb is mandatory because it is a way of meditation and get deep into yourself. Sorry your fathers a legend but im not Jamaican and I know more about it then he does and I've only been on my journey for a year

[@thavillaindonny]

Yes dreads are mandatory to be a rastafari it represents patience time and your journey from rasta to rastafari it always shows others your freedom and strength it is more than a look it is a wife a life it is your identity you have to earn your locs you have to nurture and care for your locs represent a journey of self acceptance nothing can break our locs it is our strength

[@helithemaddog4994]

I don't know much of other Marleys; Bob has 19 children, all still alive and quite young. But what I've heard them talking I have to say that Ziggy and Ky-Mani are particularly wise guys. Here's Ky-Mani saying exactly the same thing as Mutabaruka when he was young. They both are saying that rastafari is not a religion, but more like a philosophy. Muta said that religion comes in many forms, christianity, buddhism, rastafarism, and they are all based on love. Here's Ky-Mani's telling the same, but in his own words. He's a young man, just 37, soon to be 38, but so pleasantly calm and a profound thinker. I like him, even more than Ziggy, and absolutely more than other Marleys. Blessings to all of them. Btw, Muta doesn't even smoke marijuana. Many others use rastafarism as an excuse to smoke it all the time = what's that got to do with meditation? None of my business, I guess.

[@mistahjonez94]

Just happened so that meanwhile I lived in Jamaica in a rasta village. Well, rasta living has gone far from what it used to be decades ago. I came to witness how they drink, party many times a week, smoke weed of course ( nothing bad there!!! ), but what made me leave Jamaica was the fact that a couple of rasta guys stole all my savings. Thank God I had a ticket waiting at the airport. It was finally all I had left since those "rastas" stole all my money, savings of many past years. My lifelong illusions of rastafarism came tumbling down, crashed. No one who hasn't experienced what I did, can't imagine the bad taste and feeling inside I had when I left. And after what happened, there's no use for anybody coming to explain absolutely anything about rastafarism and the purity of their life style to me. I know now the truth of playing rasta and how todays rastas live. Such a dissappointment...

+peach nathaniel the points of locks. 1. For all Africans. Because Africans back then did not comb their hair. If you don't comb your hair then it locks up. 2. It represents the lions mane. All Rastas including I&I consider gods. And lions of thyself. 2. The comb and scissors is a babylonians invention. That we Africans should not use. Because it is not of Africa. 3.we forbid the cutting of hair because the bible says so. But should sometimes be trimmed.

[@peachnathaniel5524]

noah vizzian I'n'I hear what you're saying but I'n'I just gonna add a little Iya. The first known examples of locks are from Egypt, you are right with the Old Testament accounts and that they originated in Africa but they are not exclusive to Africa, according to Roman accounts, the Celts were described to have 'hair like snakes' Germanic tribes, Greeks and the Vikings are all said to have worn locks too. The rise of the Rasta dreadlocks however is something entirely separate. It was born in the 1930s when Ras Tafari was crowned emperor of Ethiopia. When the emperor was forced into exile during an invasion, guerrilla warriors swore not to cut their hair until the emperor was reinstated. As for the comb, Africa had combs well before Babylon intervened. The ancient Egyptians had Afro combs. One writer tells us that the Egyptians “manufactured a very striking range of combs in ivory: the shape of these is distinctly African and is like the combs used even today by Africans and those of African descent.” But I'n'I do reiterate the fact that you don't have to be dread to be Rasta or praise the most high and the bible is open to interpretation as it speaks differently to others. I'n'I agree with you that we as a people (human race) shouldn't cut our hair and as such haven't cut mine for over ten years. Respect, Coexist \/

[@HloniMatsoso]

Dreadlocks are more than just Identity, they date back to slavery in Central America. Slaves that free'ed themselves stopped cutting their hair whilst hiding in exile in nearby mountains and woods. So dreads also signify freedom, as they fought to free other slaves.

[@integrityborn6156]

True, but they go back much further than slavery, priest/ shamans used to rock them and certain warrior tribes in Kenya wore them too!

+lgatti54 HE Tries to hard to sound like bob marley. using the phrase "You know what i mean" in every sentence. Jahovia bless friend!

[@edwardrobinson8947]

That is his fucking father!

[@Yearofthedog7]

DaberUno Tv I noticed that too. Bob was great though. Jah Bless friend.

[@HouseOfPetrol]

Ky-many was not brought up in jamaica,he livef his whole life in miami,and was a real gangstah when him younger! Read the book : dear dad.... Written by kymani: it's his life story,and his upbringing,and the fight to be recognised by the marley family, as he was not a part of the family in his early days,due to some shituation's and financial bullsh*t....very interesting, and gave me a whole other kind of respect for the man! Jah bless Ras -Tafari!

[@HouseOfPetrol]

+Nicolas Dujardin so he speaks both fluent english and proper jamaican, as he was in jamaica alot on visit to his family and had jamaican parents so yes he speaks both :)

I know I’m late lol, but is Rastafari open to every and all race (white, Hispanic, Indian, etc) or is Rastafari just for the black family (family meaning community/nation) ? Jus wanna learn more about it.

[@kitto3608]

Rastafari is for the black community only. It is a way for us to connect to Africa, Our motherland which we were taught to hate by the western world who were exploiting our land and people. My ancestors were stolen from there and we as the descendants of the Africans who were kidnapped from our beautiful land of gold, diamonds, oil, etc know it is our duty to find our ancestors lost voices and also our own voices and our identities and love ourselves once again as black people through the teachings of Marcus Garvey and H.I.M Love all the way from Jamaica.

Do you have to aknowledge Haile Selassie to be a Rasta and live a life of RASTA

[@raskilliluminati5121]

Simen Obsa Eikeland Jeremiah 23 5 thru 10 explain Christ in his kingly character as Rastafari

[@solarscience5815]

@Ras Killiluminati Not all Ras follow bible to sight HIM. Nuff see him from an Afrikan perspective only. No god, Jesus or bible.

[@solarscience5815]

@Kshatriya Dharma Rasta is not a religion. What rules and regulations are you talking about? Please name them. Rastafari is a livity in tune with nature. It has principles.

[@CoCre8ors]

Rasta is an abbreviation of Ras Tafari which is his majesty’s title prior to being crowned king of kings!! To be a Rasta is to be a follower of the example he set

[@solarscience5815]

@Progressive Livity That’s not true. Rastafari has different mansions and they cannot all follow the Kings example to the letter. Also in 1930 when Rasta start what example of the Kings behaviour did Rasta have to follow. They never knew his views at this time. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@synchromystics-hiphop]

I'd say most of the Marley's if not all have failed to keep up the legacy of their forefathers. They've been bought. Damian Marley did a show in tel aviv Israel recently, that says it all.

[@Riptack7591]

Synchromystics - Hip hop What's wrong with that? You are a Jew hater? Hatred is not Rastafari.

[@cosmicwisdom999]

Because he and many Ras' consider themselves to be included in 12tribes of Israel. There are different houses within Rastafari

[@cosmicwisdom999]

Also, if Bob Marley would have gotten a chance to go to Israel to performed, he would have been there....because he converted to 12 tribe before he died and so they follow in their fathers footsteps....I believed Ziggy Marley also did performed there..

[@synchromystics-hiphop]

+riptack heigberns I'm not a Jew hater. I don't agree with Israels radical policies. And I also have heard of many Rastafarians speak against the atrocities in solidarity with the palistinian people. Such as mutabaruka a highly respected guy. What does Damien really do to help? Does he care? Peter tosh refused to play in Israel. Was he a Jew hater or a conscious human being?

[@synchromystics-hiphop]

+Jules B. I'm aware of the different houses of the movement. Are you aware of the extreme racism within the state of Israel. The way the Ethiopian immigrants are treated is disgusting, it's known about. Yet these so called freedom fighters can't utter a word against their masters.

[@j_y_777]

Hola una pregunta... Rastafari no es religión OK bendición... Rastafari es TORAH? Modo de vida de acuerdo a la TORAH... Entendiendo que hay una restauración de todas las cosas de ELOHIM. Creo que sí la respuesta es que rastafari no es TORAH o no se sujeta a la ley de YAH, entonces como puede decir que rastafari es un camino a YAH ELOHIM si no observa ni guarda TORAH...

How can a person dislike this video.

[@thechurchofhaileselassiei8129]

Religion began in Ethiopia and has been an integral part of the Ethiopian culture and history for thousands of years. Rastafarianism is indigenous to Jamaica but do not make the mistake and state that it is not a religion. Those who wish to make Rasta about livity etc is denying the foundation of Rasta which is that Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia is the one true and living God.

[@solarscience5815]

Please do your research. There were various ways ppl saw the King. Some as god, some as messiah returned and some as a Great Afrikan King. Seeing someone as an Afrikan King does not make it a religion. Get it right. It’s not based alone on your narrow view

James Crawley well then u would know that rastafari takes adding ism to it as an insult because it is embracing materialism, sensual pleasures, Nd other Babylon culture

[@godeboy5216]

rastafaris have no rules? please it is religion when you talk about God. i dont think a lot of people know what religion is. that is als a phylosophy itself

[@solarscience5815]

@gode boy not every Rasta sees HIM as god. That’s why it’s not a religion. It has no rules. It has principles. Get it right
