Welcome!


Christ is Risen from the dead trampling down death by death and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!


CHRIST IS RISEN! INDEED HE IS RISEN!


It is with great joy and humility that we bring to you this blog. The purpose of this blog is to bring to you the faith, the hope and the challenges of the Ancient Church, which still survives in our world. The Orthodox Church has been here for more than 2000 years now. One of the most challenging problems that we face is, to hold close to our hearts, the faith handed down to us through the Holy Apostles and the Fathers after them.

Why should I care about this? What do i get out of this? These are some of the questions that can come to us when we read the above lines. Well here is what I think about it - we all have our philosophy for life. Each one has one's own. This philosophy is our foundation on which we build our world-view. Now imagine a situation where a builder is building a huge building on a weak foundation. Our faith and the things and concepts that we believe in, becomes an essential part of our identity, it defines our personality and our very being. Therefore it becomes very important as to what is it that we are rooted in.

This blog is a humble attempt to explore the depth of Orthodoxy. Above and beyond a mere philosophy for life…this has been the lifestyle of a community which comprises of the rich and the poor; the learned and the illiterate since the time of the Holy Apostles.

Come, Explore, Talk, Think and BELIEVE!
