Album: Teach Me Thy Statutes (Научи мя оправданием Tвоим)
Label: FRESH! From Reference Recordings
Release Date: May 18 2018
We are very pleased to present our first release in a new series from the PaTRAM Institute. The music performed on this recording of Orthodox choral music in the Slavonic language was written by famed Russian composer Pavel Chesnokov (1877-1944). Teach me Thy Statutes is performed by the PaTRAM Institute Male Choir, a highly professional group which is a collaboration of Russian and American singers. The male choir is considered by many to be the mainstay of traditional chant and Orthodox monasticism. PaTRAM Institute Singers and Reference Recordings are planning several more CD releases over the next 5 years with Dr. Peter Jermihov as artistic director and conductor. Alexis Lukianov, Founder, Chairman and CEO of PaTRAM Institute states: “I am very pleased that PaTRAM Institute Singers has partnered with one of the top labels in the classical music industry. We are excited about our newest prospects and opportunities to produce and distribute world-class orthodox liturgical music.”
Teach Me Thy Statutes was recorded in Russia in July of 2016 in the Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian Orthodox Church, at the Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary. PaTRAM’s objective was to immerse the listener in the beautiful Russian monastic style of singing through its fullness and richness of sonority. Highly-esteemed conductor Maestro Vladimir Gorbik, whose pedigree is from the Moscow Conservatory and as choirmaster of the Holy Trinity—St. Sergius Lavra Representation Choir (monastery), skillfully unites strong musicianship with superb diction to a degree that is seldom heard outside of Russia, but which epitomizes the best traditional culture of singing in the Russian Orthodox Church.

история одной картины: Герои Правды и Кривды
Территориально деятельность народников сосредотачивалась в российских губерниях, расположенных вдоль по Волге. Считалось, что в этих преимущественно старообрядческих регионах наиболее силен бунтарский разинско пугачевский дух. Волга рассматривалась в качестве естественной оси, от которой в обе стороны должны распространиться агитационные импульсы. Наиболее мощный народнический центр действовал в Саратове; кстати, к лету 1874 года там ожидали приезда самого М.А. Бакунина, который лично должен был возглавить пробуждение России . Агитаторы всюду действовали по стандартной схеме: организовывали различные артели, школы, медицинские пункты и т.п., откуда распространялась нелегальная литература и где велась разъяснительная работа. Например, в Ярославской губернии устроили слесарную артель, куда приглашались крестьяне из соседних селений. Работа в ней шла для отвода глаз, главным же было настраивание местного населения на восстание против царя и правительства, за установление новых порядков. Крестьянам сообщалось о массах недовольных, о пяти тысячах уральских казаков, ожидающих начала бунта. Народовольцы ходили по селам, посещали сходы, учили революционным песням, раздавали листовки . Иногда к делу относились более творчески, используя религиозные моменты. Так, в Калужской губернии столичные студенты из медико хирургической академии, военно артиллерийского училища ходили по деревням с Библией и в христианском ключе проповедовали о новой эре, когда не будет ни частной собственности, ни правительства, а все будет общее. Эта грядущая жизнь, по их убеждению, связана с утверждением новой религии, изложенной в Откровении Иоанна Богослова. Она станет своего рода надстройкой социализма, что сделает его более цельным и полным .
Необходимо подчеркнуть, что темы листовок, распространявшихся агитаторами по стране, были рассчитаны в первую очередь на раскольников. Скажем, в широко известной листовке «О правде и кривде» содержался рассказ о неправедном насаждении на Руси греческой церкви, от которой все зло. Два столетия тому назад народ восстал против попов, насаждающих иноземщину, и начал по своему разумению толковать Писание, отверг власть помещиков и церкви, весь царский порядок и решил вернуться к старым обычаям:
«Вот за что поднимались наши раскольники: старые книги и двуперстное сложение и восьмиконечный крест – это было для них то же, что знамя для солдат. Не за него бьются солдаты: знамя поднимается, чтобы собрать всех вокруг него» ..(А.В.Пыжиков Грани русского раскола)

-----------------------------
Схиархимандрит Илий (в миру Алексей Афанасьевич Ноздрин; 8 марта 1932, село Становой Колодезь, Орловский район, Центрально-Чернозёмная область) — священнослужитель Русской православной церкви, духовник братии Оптиной пустыни, личный духовник патриарха Московского Кирилла.
Родился 8 марта 1932 года в селе Становой Колодезь Орловского района (ныне — Орловской области) в крестьянской семье. При крещении в церкви соседнего села Лукина был наречён в честь Алексия, человека Божия. По собственному признанию, молиться начал с трёх лет.
В 1949 году окончил среднюю школу в родном селе. Служил в армии, где старшина уговорил его вступить в комсомол. По возвращении домой он глубоко раскаивался в этом, видя в этом грех против Бога, и тотчас сжёг свой комсомольский билет.
С 1955 по 1958 год обучался в машиностроительном техникуме в Серпухове, а после окончания распределён на работу в город Камышин Волгоградской области. Посещал единственную в городе действующую церковь в честь святителя Николая, где его первым духовником стал священник Иоанн Букоткин, который рекомендовал молодому человеку поступить в Саратовскую духовную семинарию. После закрытия Саратовской семинарии был переведён в Ленинградскую духовную семинарию, а позднее окончил Ленинградскую духовную академию.
В Духовной академии познакомился с будущим патриархом Кириллом: «Я поступил в семинарию, а он в том году кончал академию. И мы его все любили. Он был еще мирянином, просто Алёшей Ноздриным, но отличался удивительным характером и замечательным стилем отношений с людьми.
13 марта 1966 года митрополитом Никодимом пострижен в монашество с именем Илиан в честь одного из сорока мучеников Севастийских. Позднее митрополитом Никодимом был последовательно рукоположён в сан иеродиакона и иеромонаха. Нёс своё служение в разных храмах Ленинградской епархии.
С 1966 по 1976 год провёл в Псково-Печерском монастыре, а под влиянием прочтения книги о Силуане Афонском принял решение о поступлении в Пантелеимонов монастырь на Афоне.
3 марта 1976 года определением Священного синода был направлен нести иноческое послушание на Афоне. Проживал в Старом Русике, исполнял обязанности духовника Пантелеимонова монастыря.
В 1989 году был призван в Россию и направлен в качестве духовника в восстанавливаемую Оптину пустынь. Настоятелем обители архимандритом Евлогием (Смирновым) был пострижен в великую схиму с именем Илий (в честь одного из мучеников Севастийских).
После Поместного собора 2009 года был избран духовником своего сокурсника по Ленинградской духовной академии — новоизбранного патриарха Кирилла.
4 апреля 2010 года на Пасху в кафедральном храме Христа Спасителя в Москве патриархом Кириллом был возведён в сан схиархимандрита.

«Епископ призван душу свою отдать за избавление многих»
80 лет исполняется 11 ноября владыке Герману. Более четвери века он руководит Волгоградской и Камышинской епархией, последние пять лет также возглавляет Волгоградскую митрополию, в состав которой после реформы РПЦ, кроме Волгоградской и Камышинской, вошли — Урюпинская и Новоаннинская, а также Калачёвская и Палласовская епархии.
Основание Царицынского православного университета, развитие активной социальной и миссионерской деятельности, начало воссоздания в Волгограде собора в честь святого благоверного князя Александра Невского и возрождение духовной жизни в доверенном ему регионе – лишь часть осуществленных планов митрополита. О пути служения владыки Германа и значимых фактах биографии — в материале, подготовленном пресс-службой епархии.
Все начиналось с храма Александра Невского
Митрополит Герман (в миру Геннадий Евгеньевич Тимофеев) родился 11 ноября 1937 года в Ташкенте в семье служащих. С большим теплом владыка вспоминает свои первые впечатления от посещения церкви – это был храм святого благоверного князя Александра Невского на Ташкентском кладбище, куда ребенком его привела бабушка:
«Тогда, помню, душа моя, по рождению и по крещению христианка, пленилась благолепием Божия Дома. Потом я видел много других храмов, более благолепных, и в них было больше святынь в виде чтимых икон и мощей угодников Божиих. Но тот кладбищенский храм на земле моего знойного, далекого отсюда родного края навсегда остался единственным, как родоначальник всех других святынь, пережитых мною от того часа даже до днесь».
С 1950 года будущий епископ служил в алтаре Ташкентского кафедрального собора, был книгодержцем у владыки Гурия. После окончания средней школы в 1955 году с благословения Ташкентского архиепископа Ермогена (Голубева) поступил в Саратовскую духовную семинарию, а через год перешел в Ленинградскую духовную семинарию, которую окончил только в 1962 году из-за двухлетнего перерыва в связи со службой в Советской армии.
В 1966 году Геннадий Тимофеев завершает образование в Ленинградской духовной академии, откуда выходит кандидатом богословия за сочинение «Богослужение Святой Пасхи в его историческом развитии». На последнем курсе — 19 декабря 1965 года принимает монашеский постриг.
«Я постригся, чтобы удобнее было душу спасти, и думал, что иночество станет для меня чем-то вроде вьючного животного, которое послужит мне средством передвижения по тесной дороге, ведущей в вечную жизнь. … Я знаю, что епископская митра – это терновый венец Христа; архиерейский омофор представляет собой заблудшую овцу, взятую добрым пастырем на рамо: это заблуждения, немощи и болезни чад церковных, вся тяжесть которых ложится на плечи епископа; епископ образ Христа в церкви, а царство Христово не от мира сего, и, подобно Христу, епископ призван служить, а не господствовать, он призван душу свою отдать за избавление многих».
Братья и сестры! Просим Ваших святых молитв!
Да снизойдет на Вас Божия благодать!

Eastern Catholic Churches
The Eastern Catholic Churches are autonomous, self-governing particular churches in full communion with the Pope. Together with the Latin Church, they make up the entire Catholic Church. They preserve many centuries-old Eastern liturgical, devotional, and theological traditions, which are in most cases shared with the various other Eastern Christian churches with which they were once associated, such as the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodox Church.
Some theological issues (mainly, though not exclusively, regarding the role and extent of the authority of the Bishop of Rome) divide them from their counterparts of similar traditions that are not in communion with Rome. Accordingly, they admit members of such churches to the Eucharist and the other sacraments only in the circumstances indicated in canon law.

SUMMARY
=======
The Eastern Catholic Churches or Oriental Catholic Churches, also called the Eastern-rite Catholic Churches, and in some historical cases Uniate Churches, are twenty-three Eastern Christian particular churches sui iuris in full communion with the Pope in Rome, as part of the worldwide Catholic Church. Headed by patriarchs, metropolitans, and major archbishops, the Eastern Catholic Churches are governed in accordance with the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches, although each church also has its own canons and laws on top of this, and the preservation of their own traditions is explicitly encouraged. The total membership of the various churches accounts for about 18 million, according to the Annuario Pontificio (the annual directory of the Catholic Church), thus making up about 1.5 percent of the Catholic Church, with the rest of its more than 1.2 billion members belonging to the Latin Church, also known as the Western Church.
The Maronite Church is considered the only one of the Eastern Catholic Churches to have always remained in full communion with the Holy See, while most of the other churches unified from the 16th century onwards. However, the Melkite Catholic Church and the Italo-Albanian Greek Catholic Church also claim perpetual communion. The largest five Churches based on membership are: the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (Byzantine Rite), the Syro-Malabar Church (East Syriac Rite), the Maronite Church (West Syriac Rite), the Melkite Catholic Church (Byzantine Rite), and the Armenian Catholic Church (Armenian Rite). These five Churches account for about 80% of the Eastern Catholic Churches.
Full communion constitutes mutual sacramental sharing between the Eastern Catholic Churches and the Latin Church, including Eucharistic intercommunion. On the other hand, the liturgical traditions of the 23 Eastern Catholic churches, including Byzantine, Alexandrian, Armenian, East Syriac, and West Syriac, are shared with other Eastern Christian churches: the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Ancient Church of the East. Although some theological issues divide the Eastern Catholic churches from other Eastern Christian ones, they do admit members of the latter to the Eucharist and the other sacraments, as governed by Oriental canon law.Notably, many Eastern Catholic churches take a different approach to clerical celibacy than the Latin Church does and allow the ordination of married men to the priesthood (although not to the episcopacy).
Eastern Catholic Churches have their origins in the Middle East, East Africa, Eastern Europe and India. However, since the 19th century, diaspora has spread to Western Europe, the Americas and Oceania in part because of persecution, where eparchies have been established to serve adherents alongside those of Latin Church dioceses. Latin Catholics in the Middle East, on the other hand, are traditionally cared for by the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

SUMMARY
=======
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (Russian: Еле́на Петро́вна Блава́тская, Yelena Petrovna Blavatskaya; 12 August [O.S. 31 July] 1831 – 8 May 1891) was a Russian occultist, philosopher, and author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. She gained an international following as the leading theoretician of Theosophy, the esoteric religion that the society promoted.
Born into an aristocratic Russian-German family in Yekaterinoslav, then in the Russian Empire (now Ukraine), Blavatsky traveled widely around the empire as a child. Largely self-educated, she developed an interest in Western esotericism during her teenage years. According to her later claims, in 1849 she embarked on a series of world travels, visiting Europe, the Americas, and India. She also claimed that during this period she encountered a group of spiritual adepts, the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom, who sent her to Shigatse, Tibet, where they trained her to develop a deeper understanding of the synthesis of religion, philosophy and science. Both contemporary critics and later biographers have argued that some or all of these foreign visits were fictitious, and that she spent this period in Europe. By the early 1870s, Blavatsky was involved in the Spiritualist movement; although defending the genuine existence of Spiritualist phenomena, she argued against the mainstream Spiritualist idea that the entities contacted were the spirits of the dead. Relocating to the United States in 1873, she befriended Henry Steel Olcott and rose to public attention as a spirit medium, attention that included public accusations of fraudulence.
In New York City, Blavatsky co-founded the Theosophical Society with Olcott and William Quan Judge in 1875. In 1877 she published Isis Unveiled, a book outlining her Theosophical world-view. Associating it closely with the esoteric doctrines of Hermeticism and Neoplatonism, Blavatsky described Theosophy as the synthesis of science, religion and philosophy, proclaiming that it was reviving an Ancient Wisdom which underlay all the world's religions. In 1880 she and Olcott moved to India, where the Society was allied to the Arya Samaj, a Hindu reform movement. That same year, while in Ceylon she and Olcott became the first people from the United States to formally convert to Buddhism. Although opposed by the British administration, Theosophy spread rapidly in India but experienced internal problems after Blavatsky was accused of producing fraudulent paranormal phenomena. Amid ailing health, in 1885 she returned to Europe, there establishing the Blavatsky Lodge in London. Here she published The Secret Doctrine, a commentary on what she claimed were ancient Tibetan manuscripts, as well as two further books, T ...

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
