- In the second interview, Fr. Ioannis Meggoulis talks about his encounter with St. Paisios at the time he and his young friends were converted to Hinduism and were influenced by the Indian guru Sai Baba. This is the testimony of a direct witness. Fr. Ioannis is now an Orthodox elder at the Holy Metochion of Taxiarch Archangel Michael of the Holy Monastery of Saint George of Examili, Greece.

I can't imagine how blessed the people of this congregation and community are; here we are lucky if the church has 2 masses a week on Sunday. Many churches don't even have a daily mass, and all the time the church is locked. You can't go in to pray, and appointments with the priest are limited to 15 minutes, and you might have to wait weeks. Confession is only held 45 to 60 min a week, so noone bothers going. You know that unless you are first or second in line you won't get in. If we had a church like this, I would practically live there, and do my confession weekly. I hope these people realize how blessed they are; many of us struggle alone. Our only spiritual direction must come from God himself.
Hello is there any possibility u can write me adress of this church or email contact where can i write ?there is no laziness here ... i was trying find adress on internet but somehow there was no success . thank you for any help and wish u all the best
@@nojoo9241 Brother, this is the adress of the Monastery of Taxiarch Michael. It is found in Athens, Greece: A/D Pireos Athinon Thessalonikis Evzonon, Malakasa 190 11, Greece
@@ApostlesOfOurTime21 Hello and why i find this adress ? Fr. Ioannis is now an Orthodox-Christian elder at the Holy Metochion of Taxiarch Archangel Michael of the Holy Monastery of Saint George of Examili, Greece. Is it same ?
Father pray for me. I am Roman Catholic but just discovering the Orthodox Church. My heart or maybe my soul thirsts., but not sure what for or why the Orthodox teachings are bringing me such peace? or comfort...again not sure. But I am drawn to them...pray for me. Thank you
I give u an advice...if u are a man make a visit to mounth Athos if not go to some ortodox mounasteries and talk with the nuns...talk what your thoughs are.
The orthodox church was established by Christ Himself our Savior and God .All the teachings in the orthodox church were given to us by the Holy Spirit through the Holy Apostles and the Holy Fathers
Everything beside the Orthodox Church teachings it’s heresy and it’s sin against the Holy Spirit
The most important thing is to find a spiritual father . No one can be saved without guidance from a father confessor. The Sacrament of Confession it’s the foundation of repentance.Your spiritual father will teach you everything . I recommend you to look for a spiritual father from monastery. They know the art of salvation through Inner Prayer ( Jesus Prayer)
You can start saying the prayer: Oh Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God have mercy on me the sinner !
The Grace of the Holy Spirit who work through the Prayer will guide you
Say this prayer unceasingly
Thank you for this enlightenment!
GLORY BE TO JESUS CHRIST!
GLORY FOREVER!
Please pray for my sons, Stephen and Nicholas. 🙏
Αυτό είναι η δύναμη του Χριστού η αγάπη και η μεταμόρφωση μας από την πίστη μας , ο Θεός να μας φίλα από όλα τα κακα του πονηρού .
God Bless you!
With all due respect to the Elder, and speaking as someone who has myself converted from Hinduism to Orthodoxy, and having also read his book “The Gurus, The Young Man and Elder Paisios”, I from the bottom of my heart wish to say that what the Elder is describing here is not Hinduism. Hinduism is not just a demonic religion of sorcerers and black magicians. Yes, some of this element exists, but it is a relatively minor part of the religion. The common Hindu person follows a religion where they see God in everything and try to know Him. Of course, they do not know about Jesus Christ and have not understood the good news of His death and resurrection, but it is not right or correct to condemn all of Hinduism as simply black magic and sorcery. There are in fact some parts of Hindu practice which come very close to Orthodoxy, in terms of deep and heartfelt devotion to a personal God. Apologies to all who may be offended by my statement, please remember that I’m also now your humble brother in the Orthodox faith, but I was born a Hindu and cannot agree with the way the Elder is describing it. That was not my experience of it.
Thank you for sharing!
Awesome!
Holy father keep my family in yr pray. Love from India.
Thanks for including captions! What a great story of saving wretched human by blessed love of Christ! Χριστός ανέστη!
Truly, He has risen!
Thank you very much. Lord bless you and this monk. Glory to God for everything! He loves us so much!
I read somewhere that one of those hindu guys who was possessed by a demon tried to attack St.Paisios and the st without even touching him just pushed him away and that guy flew
What daily miracle happens at the Holy Metochion of Taxiarch Archangel Michael of the Holy Monastery of Saint George of Examili, Greece??
Can anyone tell me, please, for the Love of God! May the Lord bless us all and have mercy on me, the sinner! Glory to God for all things!
Elpidophoros (or one of his Bishops) was celebrating in a Hindu Temple. Where Hindu God's were venerated.
in hinduism one worships these 32 million form of gods if one chooses to live a material life......if one seeks the truth then in hinduism there is a completely different path which is known as sanyas which is very much similar to a monastic life.........i beg everone who reads this comment to please research hinduism and christianity in detail......the love of god is the most powerful.....let god have mercy on all
A man who truly found his place in this world!
Wonderful, thank you for this interview! Glory to God!☦️🙏🏻😊
Amen!

Glory to God
How can those gurus or better said demons create something like rings etc if only God has a power of creation? I dont get it.
They might be only some apparent things or illusions...
Illusions
It was like the Pharaoh's sorcerers who cast their rods that turned into serpents. Yet, these serpents were swallowed by Aaron's rod which also turned into a serpent
@@redchilli233 yeah, but, how did those sorcerers do that? Angles/demons also have power of creating but just limited? Or what?
@Αίθρα M yeah but how can they do that if only God can creat? Or angles/demons can creat something to?
Praise the Lord.Amen🙏
Glory to God in all ☦️☦️☦️
Amen!
Amen papa amen papa amen papa
Cât de Bun e Domnul ❤️☦️🙏
i am hindu and i can assure that sai baba was not a hindu....and we do not have 32 million gods....we only have one god divinity whose different types of nature are represented by different icons.....just like god jesus christ and the holy spirit are one divintiy but are differently represented....there are many similarity between hinduism and christianity if you learn both religion deeply and with true heart....thank you
Is that true ?
Truly He is risen.
Multumim ptr traducere felicitari

- who is that Agios, that is standing on
top of a man?
we can see, he has wings, but if he is
Agios Ioannis the fore-runner,
what is the auricular info about that
scene?
Or perhaps he is Archangel Michael himself?
Please, give us another teaching speech
about that Icon, next to you.
It's Archangel Michael!
@@jacobnash1885 Thank you !
Спасибо.

♥️♥️♥️😘
🧡 Thank you.
Does the highest trinity in hinduism bear any similarity to Christian trinity? If I understand correctly, those hindus were only following lower "gods" and possessive spirits.
Why not read their books and conclude yourself? Most of the Christians talking about Buddhism and Yoga are completely clueless about them, I'm saying this as a Christian.
...I mean, it's cute and all, but when someone says "i was studying comparative religion and chose hinduism", and then show extremely weak knowledge about the absolute basics of hinduism, and proceed to explain how he was in a sect that even hindus themselves condemn... you can see how it doesn't sound too good, ye? From the hindu points of view, there is only 1 god, in many different persons, which shouldn't be too hard to comprehend for christians, out of all lol
Sai Baba is a Saint in the Hindu religion…
@@Sebastian-ct5ek You're thinking of Sai Baba of Shirdi, born in 1838. That's the one considered a saint
The Sai Baba they're talking about is "Sathya Sai Baba" born in 1926, a guru, or grifter who claimed he was the reincarnation of the original Sai Baba and grifted a lot of western people out of their money.
Well they are Exclusivists what do you expect? Always demonizing other Paths and using Fear to convert.
The old Abrahamic Game that brought so much Destruction to this World.
@@Sebastian-ct5ek but he does not live in Christ
I love Christ but I also love Hanumanji and Neem karoli baba the Great Saint from India and Om sai Ram. These guys all preach love love love and when you mention Christ to them they are in love with him to. I believe that this dude and his friend were just on the demonic path period and Hinduism itself isnt really to be blamed perhaps it can be more easy to go down the path of the demonic with Hinduism more so than with Christianity though. But yeah being obsessed with Gold and power any proper Guru in Hinduism or priest or spiritual practitioner would tell them this is not the way. Plenty of people get demons exercised through the Hindu religion.
"These guys all preach love love love and when you mention Christ to them they are in love with him to." - sorry, but how else do you expect it to be? Almost every cult on earth proclaims love and acknowledges Christ by words. This is no news. But Christ is of other opinion and says there's only one way which is through Him and the one going not throught the main gate but over the fence is a thief and a robber. That's literally his words (John 10) to take into account while speaking about other sprirituality. So if one seemingly agrees with Christ but denies his own words is a kind of hypocricy.
@@daggerfighterthe fact that christians are divided in many different churches means that the real teaching of Jesus is being changed, mixed, deleted . or wrongly interpreted .
The hindus believe that God is Love and that Love is for all creation , and that everybody that follow the 5 spiritual values ( Shanti- peace , Prema- Love , Sathya- truth , Dharma- right way of live , Ahimsa- non violence ) deserve that love and salvation . Hindus also believe that at the end that there is only one God , with many names and different forms . Christian instead believe that God in not so Great , loving and compassionate and that will save only the people that recognise Him only in the form of Jesus .
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
"Even though you ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the Gospel."
St. Paul the Apostle
(1 Corinthians 4:15)
😂😂😂😂 protestant Disneyland theology
@@alexpanagiotis4706 Paul was in no way insinuating he wanted the Corinthians to refer to him by the religious title "Father." He was simply using the father/son analogy to bring to their remembrance that he had fathered them in the gospel, and that he loved them as a father would his children.
Two completely different things.
Wrong,my little protestant Mickey Mouse. Father and other title are used often in the New Testament. Father, Elders, teachers, Leaders,...etc.
This literal interpretation is protestant nonsense. It was never ever understood like this.
