I love this place ❤

Great series, very enjoyable. Thank you.

Beautiful, Matt. Well done and buen camino.

Sounds like your mum is on the spectrum too. The first rebellion was satan and his minions. There is a right path - one way, Christ, but only in Orthodoxy is every application and prescription unique to each soul. One size really does fit all. Nothing added or removed. Orthodoxy is not meant to excite the imagination. Prayer is work. In the Monastery that is their work ... Praying for the world ... Plugging into Eternity. Can't wait to go back. You know Father Sam !!!!????? You don't know how blessed you are !!! (YET!) PEACE be with you Matthew, and may he pray for you !

God is the focus not the transitory generations bc He Knows all. Getting to know Him better is The Monastery's raison détre The beard gives you an air of orthodoxy ... Glad to hear of your travels. If you still want to go to athos be prepared for 4hours plus services, and truly vegan food and drink, except fish.

There is coffee in the kitchenette part of the sleeping quartrs. Renewals, are what we call the cradle orthodox who return to the faith.

Hi Matthew ... Did you visit Saint Sophrony while you were thr. Did you pray with him. Did you take antidoron after Litugy?

This place is one God first blessed me with in 1997, and most recently a month ago. The reading feeds your nous and soul while you feed your body with their gifts which God provides. As for "turning up" to "services" ... it's as much prayers for the world, those in and around our life as for ourselves, the frequency is between our spiritual Father, whose blessing we get for the retreat.

What a wonderful vlog series - thank you. I deffo have some questions about my own trip in December. Also, looking over your video library I can see you've completed the camino! We have this in common!

niceee

Loving your Pakistan videos. Thank you. Will have a bunch of questions once I reach the end, as I am thinking of a similar trip, if that is ok?

There's a bus you can catch from the station to the Monastery. Great series! I hope you go to Athos (I went) pretty amazing

the intercessions and of Saint Sophrony of and oil from Essex's tomb saved my friend from cancer. A very special place to me. Extremely blessed - all the people on Athos spoke about visiting Essex so clearly very famous throughout the Orthodox world.

Im glad you had an interesting and profound experience at the monastery and i did like this series it was quite good

The light of grace comes slow. Also i found after I had my 10th liturgy it doesnt seem that long

I am really liking this series. Its the only souce online i can find of someone talkimg about this monastery

wow, sooo good video, i liked the country and video

It's not a fast food shop you know :) to understand something you need to invest time and energy :)

Orthodoxy is not Ancient :) it's very much alive in many countries - we don't thing is Ancient - as we live it Every day :)

СССР - Тюрьма Народов !

Some lovely buildings

You both did very well planning your trip do you speak any foreign languages

I love scenes like this

I look forward now to catching up on your later videos

Yep, it is a uniquely spiritual place, in both site and setting, in my experience. Powerful and very chilled-out at the same time.

You are more than welcome, Matt. Hope to see you again

Another fascinating look at the former Soviet Republics of Central Asia. Thomas' look around the old Intourist Hotel was great fun. I wonder if the DPRK in the form of the Manusdae Construction Corporation assisted in the construction of "New Dushanbe". The constant reference to the Head of State of Tajikistan as "the Dictator" is a bit cliched. One man's dictator is another man's democrat. The persons deserving of the title of dictator are the likes of Pinochet in Chile.

Probably these days get more sufis in any major Uk city?

I really enjoyed that history lesson, very well presented.

It was nice to meet you in Khujand, mate. Very interesting video! Greetings from Khiva to Thomas too

One day in Tashkent? What's the point, mate? It doesn't make any sense. You're not gonna learn anything about Uzbekistan for such small amount of time.

keep it up my man, like it👍

Antipolo

You're such a fun travel guide, Matt!! :) So fascinating- not somewhere I would ever think to go! But maybe if I get to spend some more time in Europe. :) Thanks for the great video! 😀

amazing thank you for uploading this i should be visiting soon

I was baptised in Athos. Amazing place. Spent there 11 days travelling through all monasteries.

I recommend to read Saint Paisios of Mount Athos

Nice observation but just one correction, BCCI isn't controlled by any political party, it's an independent entity whose funds cannot be moved. There is a secretary position in BCCI which is basically a government liason and that's it. It's true that BCCI earns a lot but it also maintains 75+ international cricket grounds, employs more than 5000 people, supports 38 domestic teams financially and organizes 6 domestic tournaments annually, so the expenses are a lot as well. Not to mention several National cricket academies and recovery centres.

Saint Mellangel pray for us ❤, please put her relics to be displayed and venerated❤

Also, i dont want to be that guy, but Pakistan outside Punjab province and the few 'winter wonderlands' scattered around Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Khyber Pakthunkhwa and Gilgit Baltistan are riddled with poverty. You will see this if you go anywhere in Balochistan, South Punjab outside Multan or Sindh outside Karachi. The problem is connectivity within India is much more widespread than in Pakistan. I can assure you more foreign tourists have been to Indian states of Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Nagaland or Arunachal Pradesh individually (some of the less rich, far flung areas of India) than Balochistan province in Pakistan (which is the largest province). Development and wealth distribution is extremely Punjab centric in Pakistan, barring the few slightly larger cities in other provinces like Karachi, Peshawar and Islamabad. While much poverty exists within India, you may have noticed in your visits that food is still affordable even to the poorest class. The same cant be said about the poor in the far out parts of Pakistan. Just a few days ago the whole of PoK (Pakistan occupied Kashmir) was out in protest due to food inflation, taxes and high electric bills.

This was a very interesting video, and it took me on a roller coaster how you went from critic to defender to the right path - someone who understands that theres no right or wrong, good or bad, everything is subjective. This view would have essentially summed up India as well - a country of many contrasts. As a student of British common law here in Malaysia (Im Malaysian Indian), obviously there are many things India can learn from a country like the UK, for example, in purely good spirit and intentions, like religious tolerance, political moderacy, criticism of the government, more equal and equitable distribution of wealth, highlighting the need for the independence and impartiality of the judiciary, a just and fair application of the rule of law. That being said, there are things that a country like Britain, for example, can learn from India as well, like digitalisation, infrastructure development, providing basic needs to the common folk, religious tolerance (ironically both can learn from each other here), self sustainability, governmental budgetary spending, railway connectivity, familial values, tolerance of cultural and linguistic diversity, government catering to the needs of the people and a good healthy level of nationalism to solely better the country. By the end of the video I realised you managed to understand India, and quite impartially after seeing both sides of the argument. I think its become evident that western media for some reason solely highlights all the bad about India and Modi, even GB news criticising the moon launch project of India (which i know is a rare case but absurd nonetheless lol). I think that news gets views, ratings and cash. That being said, both the UK and India are functional democracies. It is extremely rare, for a post colonial state like India, as vast and large and exploitable as India, to go through 70+ years after independence and still not have a single military coup. At the end of the day, democracies have their negatives and limits, and its important to note that while India is slightly different from traditional, western, liberal democracy, it is much closer to the Western world in its operations, though not perfect, than the vast majority of the global south.

Hi Matt, I came across these videos as I’m interested in visiting the monastery myself. I’m interested to hear about their Jesus Prayer services as they seem to have a different approach to the one I’m familiar with - I know services where a set number of prayers are said with bows (the number depending on which of the hours is being prayed) but I’ve not heard of monastics using a set time period of 2 hours and chanting the prayer repetitively. It sounds lovely! Is there a particular melody they use to chant the prayer?

As A true Bhartiy, I do not call this Hinduism, people like me call it “Sanatan Dharm” Meaning of it is “Inclusivity of all elements as an individual” which implies every living being in the universe. Hope you get that.

Indians tried socialism did not work. Modi is probably one of the greatest leaders this planet has ever seen.

I do not know why youtube delete comments when you mentioned word quran or quote verses of quran in comment........bro you are filled with all the wrong info about iskam and quran by your guide......whatch @appostateprophate @sonofhamas before you praise your guide....,....no islamic invader or indian muslim play holi or any festival of joy......

Sister of sita is fuctional book......just google it before you read man

You have "predecided" Indian religious books as MYTH or MYTHOLOGY and for references you are refering authors who writes fictional books by getting references from rekigious books......and you then try to define 80 crore peoples belief as MYTH........you should rather seating in delhi hotel should visit sites and places which are still stand steal as it was depicted in mahabharat and ramayan.........but yeah if you are just want to write an easy thats fine but if you want to write truth you should explore and read more🙏

Read about caste system in Hinduism too. Then you will understand what Hindus believe in
