Biography of Anatoly Kashka

Size 8. And now the Lord fulfilled His desire. This former bandit, having come into a state of extreme humility, realizing everything that he had already done, returned after a clinical death to life in the fundamentally changing person. Absolutely far from faith and church, he began to differ in hot and active faith. Previously, he fundamentally evaded any work, even being in the zone, because as “authority” he could use the services of criminals who were below his rank.

And returning to life, he without ceasing began to build blocks under temples and chapels. He was helped by his former “workshop brothers” - other robbers who considered him authority. That is, not only he repented and turned, but he led him to the God of others. These are real people. Some became monks. So the Lord saves why a ferocious bandit began to wash all their feet?

During our conversation with this repentant authority, it turned out that shortly before this meeting, to his joyful surprise about the combination of circumstances, I had a chance to get acquainted with the two followers of his followers, the inhabitants of the monastery of St. John Chrysostom in mosquitoes. One of them, not even being in tonsure because it was difficult to implement due to difficult relations with the legal Georgian hierarchy that developed after hostilities, already headed this monastery.

It was known about him that he had 8 years of ITL for a correctional labor camp-O. shortly after my departure from this monastery, he was tonsured in a mantle in honor of St. John. He was incredibly active, worked a lot in the monastery, was always optimistic. Then, with the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict, there they generally arranged a massacre, only ruins and fruit gardens remained from the once densely populated team.

Only the monastery survived. There was a lot of work, but there were few inhabitants. And he carried a lot on himself. And after tonsure, he already had some kind of breakdown, he washed down. So much that I had to leave for my homeland, in Tula. There he earned a living at construction sites. But from monasticism, he did not renounce one evening, when he was alone in a construction cap, she caught fire, apparently from Okurk.

And Zasov jammed and he could not open the door from the inside. Burned alive. Such martyrdom, in cleansing, the death was populated by the Lord. Talking about this, the authority took out the phone from his pocket and showed the video recorded on it, capturing the blazing flame, which covered this construction captere. And the voice sounded: “Father John is on” and the second monk of criminals was already - even when I was visiting there - he was tonsured.

He asked me to sanctify him. When his request was fulfilled, he turned to me with a strange proposal - to take off, since he promised God to wash his feet to the one who conseches him Kelly. The repentant authority, having heard this story from me and, told the following about the second of the monks. This man until recently was fundamentally different from the current one.

He was a cruel and ferocious bandit, to whom everyone was afraid to catch his eye. When he appeared in the zone, everyone scattered and hid anyone as best he could. And now you can’t recognize him. He with all the muffles, tries to serve everything, and his most characteristic new feature-he washes all his legs precisely during falls, a person often ceases to hope for himself and turns entirely to God, we are all in reality-criminals, because there is no one, with the exception of a single sinless one who would not stop the commandment.

That is, we are all robbers, the only question is, prudent or not? We are all the robbers, the only question is, the prudent or not? The obvious serious crime committed to repent is easier than the "decent", which is "no worse than others." The reality of this phenomenon - genuine repentance after an extreme fall - has been proven in the history of Christianity repeatedly. And this spiritual law, as always, applies to both an individual person and the people.

This is the repentance of the publican, who, Bia himself in the chest, does not dare to look at the sky. The repentance of the Barbar robber, who walked on all fours, like cattle, and ate grass. The repentance of Jacob Postnik, who for 7 years did not leave the cave littered with stone, this is self -isolation! The apostles Peter and Paul more than the rest of the apostles were guilty of the Lord - and were stronger than anyone in the word and in business.

And the most zealous. And the tops. And it is precisely for this that the Lord sometimes admits the terrible fall of man. And people. And he does not tell anyone to judge.

And exalted. This, finally, is the repentance of Nineveh - that is, the popular. Rev. Serafim Varitsky predicted that this phenomenon will take place in Russia: young people will indulge in permissiveness - to get drunk, wandering, stealing. And "when they reach the extreme, they will see that this can no longer continue, and the hotter they will repent." And this hot robbering repentance, apparently, will earnest the gospel, prudent robber, Anatoly Kashka, has a lot of songs about “robbering repentance”, as well as about the repentance of mired in other mortal sins.The Lord is often in no hurry to intervene and “correct the case”, does not hurry to the rescue that a person, people, humanity in their own experience come to a firm, final conviction regarding their complete inability to do without God.

They came to the knowledge of the great truth, concluded in the words: “Without me, you can’t do it” in. They were dead in their sins - and now they were resurrected in Christ for eternal life. Repentance continues to say that the younger brothers in the workshop, who decided to follow in the footsteps of the repentant authority and performed his commands in the construction of the temples, did not immediately delve into the essence of the matter and continued not to be considered bad some habits in them.

Once this lads stole a whole brick truck and, satisfied, cheerfully unloaded it, passing it from hand to hand, on the construction of the temple went to report to the Old Man - what started here! .. He suddenly gathered and went straight to the director of the plant, almost fell to his feet, told everything very apologized, apologized for his own. And he was so moved that he repented.

He began to supply brick to the construction of temples free of charge. This is another life, and possibly his whole house, saved. Not to mention those who will save their souls in these constructed temples. In Anatoly Kashka, many songs are devoted to the repentant rise of the people in Anatoly Kashka, many songs are devoted to the repentant rise of the people, there are such words: the revival of the candle lightly, O Russia, my dear, decorate your faith with deeds Anatoly was also involved in the construction, organized business, was entered into many rooms of the powers of the pre -coordinating; Even himself, having a considerable resource, at one time began to share this power with them.

Then he saw his sight, discovered how many untruths, theft formed in all this, he tried to get out of this trap, in which, by simplicity of the soul, he wrote a powerful denunciation in verses, which inflicted a strong blow to his senior colleagues. They could not forgive him for this. The persecution began, threatening it with elimination. Power structures were connected.

At the most dangerous moment, he defended him so, he also had a period in his life, which, having repented, he did not want to remember then, but who allowed him to survive the band of robberry repentance, subsequently so pronounced in his work, protecting him from lawless reprisal, his powerful countrymen asked him to move away from the policy and no longer lean out. But Anatoly in the songs nevertheless continued to affect social topics, however, it was not so targeted as I remember when we met, he just returned from a trip to North Africa, from Tunisia, where the ancient Carthage was once located, the sacrifice of children Anatoly wrote the song “Ancient Carthage, you alive” - about the current epidemic of abortion.

To prayer - through the beauty of Anatoly Kashka in the workshop. The panel in Marketri’s technique “I just understood once,” he said, “that today's person who is mired in the bustle, the sins that he may not be seen heavy, in worldly worries, needs to try to help by any means - to go to him in different ways so that his soul woke up and insights, feels the love that the Lord gives us.

Spiritual poems and songs give a great opportunity to arouse in a person, through word and music, an idea of ​​true beauty. And ultimately, lead him to an understanding of the beauty of prayer, without which it is impossible to correct, the transformation of the fallen soul. From the source of song folk art, Glinka, and Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, and our great contemporary Georgy Vasilievich Sviridov were drawn.

And the banner of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra, other Russian monasteries! In these spiritual pantries, you need to look for means to improve our souls. Equal -to -the -Apostles Princess Olga. The icon from the Pskov Cathedral of Trinity in the middle of the 10th century Holy Princess Olga, one of our first compatriots who accepted Christianity, asks: what is best in the light of this?

It opens the biblical: it is best in the light of this wisdom, which is sung by cf. It seems like such a trifle, or can save a person with great gratitude and pleasure Anatoly remembered his teachers at the school, as they pulled him, miserable.
