Lost to the West: The Forgotten Byzantine Empire
That Rescued Western Civilization (external
link) The Roman Empire fell on Tuesday,
May 29, 1453, when Mehmed II sacked
Constantinople, and Constantine XI Dragases
stripped off his imperial battle gear and died
alone and unrecognized. If you dated the fall to
September 5, 476, when Romulus Augustulus
surrendered his crown and scepter to the Vandal
Odoacer, you would be half right. That is indeed
when the western half of the empire fell,
setting off the so-called "Dark Ages" in earnest.
But the eastern half lived on for another 1000
years, waxing and waning in influence from the
Mediterranean to the Euphrates and from the
Balkans to the Nile. It was finally eclipsed by
the triumph of the Ottomans, never to rise again. Lars
Brownworth guides us through a forgotten world
and, with clarity and wit, brings it to vibrant
life.

oodegr.com hacked ? So what !
It looks like certain
old, unfamiliar faces have once again remembered
us after quite a long time. In fact, very close
to our website's 5th anniversary. Could this be
a mere coincidence? Having located security
gaps in our former website host,
they hacked into our web pages and inserted a
code that Google interpreted as "suspicious".
Google then proceeded to blacklist us, as a
result of which, whenever someone found our site
- whether through Google or when opening the
website through Mozilla Firefox - a message
would appear on screen, warning that the site is
"dangerous". We immediately corrected the
problem, and we would like to thank them (the
perpetrators) for giving us this "push" to
spruce up our site - something that we would not
have done under normal circumstances, on account
of our....laziness!! But, as they say, every
obstacle has its benefits.... We would
like to dedicate the following to them, with our
thanks:

The Gurus, the Young Man and Elder Paisios (external
link, amazon.com) This powerful memoir tells the story of a
Greek youth who, out of a desire to know the truth
empirically, began to experiment in yoga, hypnotism, and
various occult techniques.. Eventually drawn back to the
Faith of his forefathers, Orthodox Christianity, he visited
the ancient monastic republic of Mount Athos in his native
Greece, where he was brought to a knowledge of the Truth of
Jesus Christ by the saintly Elder Paisios (1924-1994).
Nevertheless, believing he had only found part of the truth
on the Holy Mountain, he chose to give the same opportunity
to Hindu yogis that he had given to Elder Paisios and other
Orthodox monks. Thus, at the age of twenty-five, he embarked
on a trip to India, where he undertook his search in the
ashrams of three famous gurus, one of whom was worshipped as
a god. His experiences in India, along with his subsequent
encounters with Elder Paisios on Mount Athos, are recounted
in the present book in vivid detail.
