Turkiye'de son yillarda dinden bagimsiz olduklarini iddia etmekle birlikte ozde Dogu dinleri kokenli olan, Dogu dinlerinin dusunce sistemi ve bu dinlere ait kavramlari cesitli yollarla halk arasinda yaymaya calisan bir cok akim ortaya cikmistir. Turkiye'ye Batili ulkelerden gelmis olan Dogu kokenli akimlar toplumda hizla yayilmakta ve Dogu dinlerine ait bir cok kavram kulturumuze yerlestirilmeye calisilmaktadir. Dogu kokenli akimlar hakkinda Turkiye'de genis bir calisma yapilmamis olmasi bizi bu calismayi yapmaya sevk etmistir.Calismamizin temel amaci Bati'dan gelen Dogu kokenli Reiki, Transandantal Meditasyon, Osho, Sahaja Yoga ve Feng Shui akimlarinin ogretilerini, tarihsel gelisimlerini, tekniklerini ve genel ozelliklerini ortaya koymaktir. Diger bir amacimiz ise bu akimlarin Turkiye'deki faaliyetlerinin tespiti olmustur. Ayrica tezimizde Dogu kokenli akimlarin Turkiye'de yayilmasini saglayan nedenler degerlendirilmistir. Tezimizde Dogu dinleri ve Dogu kokenli akimlar arasindaki iliski uzerinde durulmus, bu baglamda Dogu kokenli akimlari anlamak icin bilinmesi zaruri olan terimler aciklanmistir. Yani sira bu akimlarin Bati'dan alinmis akimlar olmalari nedeniyle misyonerlik cercevesinde degerlendirilip degerlendirilemeyecegiincelenmistir.Calismamizin sonucu olarak Bati'dan gelen Dogu kokenli akimlarin iddialarinin aksine dinden bagimsiz akimlar olmadiklari ve misyonerlik cercevesinde degerlendirilmeleri gerektigi ortaya konulmustur.Arastirmamizin bundan sonra bu alanda yapilacak calismalara katki saglayacagini umuyoruz.Abstract In recent years, a lot of movements which are originated in East and trying to spread doctrines and terms of Eastern religions in the society by several methods have arisen in Turkey, claming that they are secular movements. These Eastern movements which have come to Turkey from Western countries are growing up in the society rapidly and the terms that belong to Eastern religions are embeded intoTurkish culture. Absence of any study examining Eastern movements comprehensively in our country was oriented us to make this research.The purpose of this study was to investigate the doctrines, historical developments, techniques and general features of Eastern movements coming from the West: Reiki, Transcendental Meditation, Osho (Neo-Sannyas), Sahaja Yoga and Feng Shui. Another aim was to find out their activities in Turkey. Besides, the reasons that make the movements grow up in Turkey were examined in the study.The thesis focused on the relationship between Eastern religions and the Eastern movements. For this reason, we inspected the central terms of Eastern religions, which are to be known to understand Eastern movements. We also examined whether these movements ought be regarded as missionary movementsbecause of the fact that they were imported from Western countries or not.The results indicated that these movements are not unrelated to Eastern religions and they are not secular movements as they claim. The study also revealed that these movements ought be regarded as missionary movements.We hope that our research will be beneficial for further studies.
