Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html The biography of Hieromonk Nikon (1888–1931) consists of the following parts: his diary, which he wrote when he entered The Optina Desert 'for three years (from 1907 to 1910), and the memories of his spiritual children. Some of his sermons are also recorded. He died very young in exile in 1931 from tuberculosis. All short life of Fr. hieromonk Nikon is imbued with a deep faith in God and unshakable devotion to His will under all difficult circumstances: in a monastery, in imprisonment, and in exile - and is so instructive that we considered it necessary to collect the available information about him (far from complete) that make up this biography.

Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html “Inasmuch as you don't want to be stubborn, sail to Valaam, and if you don't want to be harsh, go to Sarov. If you want to be experienced, go to Optina,” Russian people used to say in the old days. And not without reason. Optina Desert raised in its monastery walls a whole galaxy of elders who were distinguished by the most valuable spiritual gift - the gift of reasoning. Not only ordinary people came to them for advice, but also the intelligentsia - great Russian writers and public figures: F.M. Dostoevsky, N.V. Gogol, L.N. Tolstoy, K.N. Leontiev, V.S. Soloviev. The elders, wise in spiritual experience, opened the will of God to those who were asking, consoled in difficult life trials, diverted them from sinful life and turned to repentance - sometimes strictly, and sometimes with a joke-joke. The advice and instructions of the elders, preserved in letters or spoken in conversations and recorded by eyewitnesses, are relevant at all times, and especially in ours, meager spiritual mentors. The teachings collected in this book are only a small part of the richest Optina treasury. Great and incomparably beautiful is the river of God - Holy Optina! This river flows from the sources of temporary life in the sea of eternally joyful endless life in the kingdom of the inexorable Light, and it bears on itself the boats and its desert inhabitants, and many other mournful, tortured, suffering souls who have found the truth of life at the feet of the great Optina elders. What miracles, what signs of the mercy of God, as well as his righteous anger, are not concealed in the transparent deep life-giving waters of this majestic, beautiful, mysteriously wonderful river! How many times from its picturesque bank, covered with a tent of lush green pines and firs, wrapped in the coolness of curly oaks, lace birches, aspens and maples of the reserved monastery forest, my seine descended into its bottomless depths, as clear as rock crystal, and -not in vain ... Oh, blessed Optina! S. A. Nilus If you do any mercy to anyone, you will be pardoned for that. If you suffer with a suffering person (it is not great, it seems, this is) - you are numbered as martyrs. If you forgive the offender, for this all your sins will be forgiven. Advice and guidance from Moses of Optina

Download or read book The Last Monk of Optina written by Hieromonk Nikon (Belyaev) and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ... no one and nothing can harm a person if he does not harm himself, on the contrary, whoever does not shy away from sin, even a thousand saving means will not help him. Therefore, the only evil is sin: Judas fell while being with the Savior, and righteous Lot was saved while living in Sodom. These and similar thoughts come to me when I study in the reading of St. fathers and when I look mentally at my surroundings. / Repentance as the beginning of spiritual life; repentance is necessary for accepting the gospel; the property of repentance reveals the sight of one's sins; repentance leads to spiritual visions. Repentance requires a detachment from attachments and distraction. The pseudo-grace-filled calmness is self-delusion. Without repentance and crying, an attentive life does not bear good fruit. One must pay attention to oneself, heart trouble and contrition are needed. / ... Yes, we know that retribution for forgiving offenses is greater than retribution for any other virtue ... Prayer of the Optina elders / Grant unto me, O Lord, that with peace of mind / I may face all that this new day is to bring. / Grant unto me to dedicate myself completely / to Thy Holy Will. For every hour of this day, / instruct and support me in all things. / Whatsoever tidings I may receive during the day, / do Thou teach me to accept tranquilly, in the firm / conviction that all eventualities fulfill Thy Holy Will. / Govern Thou my thoughts and feelings in all / I do and say. When things unforeseen occur , / let me not forget that all cometh down from Thee. / Teach me to behave sincerely and rationally toward / every member of my family, / that I may bring confusion and sorrow to none. / Bestow upon me, my Lord, strength to endure / the fatigue of the day, and to bear my part in all its / passing events. Guide Thou my will and teach me to / pray, to believe, to hope, to suffer, to forgive, and to love. / Amen

Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html On Easter morning, April 18 (5), 1993, in Optina Desert, a Satanist killed three of its inhabitants: Hieromonk Vasily (Roslyakov), monks Trophim (Tatarnikov) and Therapont (Pushkarev). Monks Therapont and Trophim rang in the bell tower, announcing Easter joy - they were killed first, hieromonk Vasily went to the skete to confess the worshipers, but at the skete gates, hurrying to help the brothers, he was overtaken by a murderer ... /// They lived glorifying God, and now God is glorifying them ... /// They left in silence - one at a time. And before leaving, they stood for a long time and prayed at the graves of the new martyrs. The Lord has many saints, but these are his own, and everything in their life is recognizable for us: the same childhood in homes without icons and a painful search for God. Their life is similar to the life of many - outwardly ordinary and seemingly arranged, but bleeding from the inside. All of Russia is now bleeding, and in our miserable state, which has tried all the teachings and treatments from Marxism to Mondevialism, it seems that the parable of the bleeding wife is coming true: “She suffered a lot from many doctors, exhausted everything that she had, and did not receive no benefit, but she came in even worse condition” (Mark 5:26). /// The three Optina brothers are young Orthodox Russia, and together with all of them once entered the church. But they entered with that fiery faith in the Lord, with which a bleeding wife rushed to Christ, believing that she would be healed by touching His robe. Is it not for this that the Lord glorified in miracles the three Optina New Martyrs who gave their lives for the Orthodox faith, so that suffering Russia could hear the voice of our Lord Jesus Christ: "Dare, daughter, will your faith save you?" /// The original text [translation] of the stichera of the Penitential Canon of Hieromonk Vasily is published for the first time.

Download or read book Tolstoy's Diaries Volume 1: 1847-1894 written by Reginald F Christian and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An important and long-overdue contribution to our knowledge of Tolstoy.' D. M. Thomas, Sunday Times Volume 1 of Tolstoy's Diaries covers the years 1847-1894 and was meticulously edited by R.F. Christian so as to reflect Tolstoy's preoccupations as a writer (his views on his own work and that of others), his development as a person and as a thinker, and his attitudes to contemporary social problems, rural life, industrialisation, education, and later, to religious and spiritual questions. Christian introduces each period with a brief and informative summary of the main biographical details of Tolstoy's life. The result is a unique portrait of a great writer in the variegation of his everyday existence. 'As a picture of the turbulent Russian world which Tolstoy inhabited these diaries are incomparable - the raw stuff not yet processed into art.' Anthony Burgess 'A model of scholarship, one of the most important books to be published in recent years.' A. N. Wilson, Spectator
Book Synopsis The Journal of Leo Tolstoi: 1895-1899 by : graf Leo Tolstoy
Download or read book The Journal of Leo Tolstoi: 1895-1899 written by graf Leo Tolstoy and published by . This book was released on 1917 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate meaning of the Russian Revolution which took place in March, 1917, can be best understood through the pages of the Journal of Leo Tolstoi which is here printed. The spiritual qualities which make up the mind and personality of Tolstoi are the spiritual qualities which make up the new era among men which is being waged so painfully and so uncompromisingly at the present moment on the soil of Russia. One holds the key to the other, for no land but Russia could have produced a Tolstoi, and in no land but Russia could Tolstoi have been so embraced and so absorbed.They are both flesh of each other's flesh, and I place them equally in greatness against each other. Great and wonderful as is the Russian people, so Tolstoi was as great and wonderful as the Russian people. I say this knowing well the pain and impatience both felt for each other in the long eighty-two years of Tolstoi's life here, but it was the pain and the impatience of great love and infinite understanding, of feeling and knowing each other's pulse-beats, and not the misunderstanding of strangers.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1821 and 1891, the Optina Pustyn Monastery of Kozel'sk, in Russia's Kaluga Government, was the site of an unprecedented - and as yet unequaled - period of religious and literary flowering. Optina Pustyn was a mecca for many of Russia's most prominent writers and thinkers. Distinguished visitors included Ivan Kireevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Lev Tolstoy. This study explains why Optina and its renowned "elders" held a special attraction to Russia's literary giants. It reveals how the elders' use of language was rooted in the "iconic vision" of Optina's fifteen-hundred-year-old tradition of contemplative monasticism. It is the first study to examine Optina's social gravity against the broad background of nineteenth-century institutions of Church and Intelligentsia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Humanity's Sake highlights the role of the critic Apollon Grigor'ev, who was first to formulate the difference between West European and Russian conceptions of national education or Bildung - which he attributed to Russia's special sociopolitical conditions, geographic breadth, and cultural heterogeneity. Steiner also shows how Grigor'ev's cultural vision served as the catalyst for the creative explosion that produced Russia's most famous novels of the 1860s and 1870s.

Download or read book Natasha's Dance written by Orlando Figes and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History on a grand scale--an enchanting masterpiece that explores the making of one of the world's most vibrant civilizations A People's Tragedy, wrote Eric Hobsbawm, did "more to help us understand the Russian Revolution than any other book I know." Now, in Natasha's Dance, internationally renowned historian Orlando Figes does the same for Russian culture, summoning the myriad elements that formed a nation and held it together. Beginning in the eighteenth century with the building of St. Petersburg--a "window on the West"--and culminating with the challenges posed to Russian identity by the Soviet regime, Figes examines how writers, artists, and musicians grappled with the idea of Russia itself--its character, spiritual essence, and destiny. He skillfully interweaves the great works--by Dostoevsky, Stravinsky, and Chagall--with folk embroidery, peasant songs, religious icons, and all the customs of daily life, from food and drink to bathing habits to beliefs about the spirit world. Figes's characters range high and low: the revered Tolstoy, who left his deathbed to search for the Kingdom of God, as well as the serf girl Praskovya, who became Russian opera's first superstar and shocked society by becoming her owner's wife. Like the European-schooled countess Natasha performing an impromptu folk dance in Tolstoy's War and Peace, the spirit of "Russianness" is revealed by Figes as rich and uplifting, complex and contradictory--a powerful force that unified a vast country and proved more lasting than any Russian ruler or state.
