The literary heritage of Magtymguly Pyragy has been studied in detail in the years of independence. Our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted, ‘Magtymguly induced his contemporaries and people to realize the source of a just society, a happy life, to understand the essence of what was happening. The great poet wished his people to live a peaceful and prosperous life, to be smart and educated, and to improve the culture. He left a treasury of wonderful poems full of wisdom and wonderful feelings for the nation’.

In the revival of the new epoch of the powerful state, great importance is attached to the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the birthday of the poet in 2024. Magtymguly wrote the poems full of wisdom and wonderful feelings for the Turkmen people. The value of the thinker's world of poetry has gone beyond the national boundaries and has become the treasure of humanity. The works by Magtymguly Pyragy give spiritual pleasure not only to the Turkmen people, but also to the whole world. At the same time, the poet's creativity reflects on the issues related to life. The thinker wanted to see his people and country free and flourishing.
