Religious Wandering in Russia | Dr. Charles Arndt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- Orthodox wandering (strannichestvo) is a unique phenomenon in Russian culture. Many writers of Russia’s Golden Age, such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, and Nikolai Nekrasov, incorporated wandering figures prominently in their work.
But who is this “wanderer,” and why is he considered indicative of Russian spirituality? In his lecture, Dr. Charles Arndt explained the terms for wandering in the Russian language and reviewed the religious milieu which gave rise to this particular type of Orthodox Christian asceticism.
In the Q&A session, Dr. Arndt spoke about the legal status of Orthodox wanderers and how they were portrayed in Russian visual art.

Western Catholic here - that was absolutely fascinating. Thank you!

This is fascinating! It's interesting how people in older cultures lived their lives as we do, but in many different ways, that are now almost forgotten. Kudos for the research and presentation.

Thank you :)
I just found this channel and this topic appeals to me personally.
i had a Greek Orthodox father and an Irish Catholic mother.
Baroness Catherine de Hueck Doherty wrote a book on the subject 'Strannik'
I tried posting the link but my comment gets deleted
Consider future topics for videos 'Urudivoi' (Holy Fools for Christ) and Poustinia.
Since reading 'Poustinia, i have lived, in some form, most of my adult life.
Serafim of Sarov and Francis of Assisi lived a similar intimacy with Christ.
Timothy Constantine Fronimos
Fascinating! Thank you!
A little more detail than I strictly needed on this esoteric subject (and I'm normally all about esoterica), but still interesting.
Thank you for this useful feedback!
Very interesting. Thank you. I didn't know that there was such a tradition in Russia.
Have you seen any similarities with other Eastern traditions, like the wandering Hindu sadhus, or the Islamic darwish and malangs?
Glad you found the lecture interesting! To partially answer your question: Leo Tolstoy apparently knew of the Hindu practice of Vānaprastha and expressed a desire in engage in such a lifestyle. As for similarities, I hesitate to make a statement about this, because the real question, in my opinion, is whether one informed the other and this I am unable to say at the moment. Thank you for your question!
@@charlesarndtiii2562 Thank you.
Very nice. It is indeed a wonderful feat to do and a prophetic message as such to this passing world. Tolstoy however was not Orthodox though, just to be clear.
The scaffold hierarchy structure was disspiriting so they set out only for spiritual experience - straniki. Ascetic and penitential their credo in the ejaculation " lord Jesus christ have mercy on me a sinner " . Purification hope bringing them to an aeshatological end.
