My God, would You like to say something about Juraj Jánosík? I found his name on the Internet when I was reading about Slovakia, and I found it remarkable that he did the same things as Robin Hood, but he is in any case totally unknown at least to me. Such a beautiful life in such a harsh time, I would appreciate it if You wanted to say something about him.
My son, that's allright.
The spiritual world always cherishes earthly
heroes better than mankind on earth does. There have been in more times and in
more countries men and women who stood up for the wretched ones of the earth
and fought against the most of the time loveless rich. And there are more
heroes like Robin Hood and Juraj Jánosík who were honored by their own
countrymen, but now we will make the world some more acquainted with the
beautiful soul traits of Juraj Jánosík. Robin Hood did receive enough
attention.
Juraj lived three hundred years ago in a time
of violence and lawlessness, a time when many people did not know at the
beginning of the winter if they would reach the end of winter.
Juraj saw this all and had besides a sense of
justice also the courage and physical strength and natural leadership to do
something about it.
Not everyone knows that, and that was at that
time very unusual for a strong and courageous man, he has had slain or
irreparably injured nobody. He knew from deep down inside that this behaviour was
not what was meant to be. And if he had robbed by his comrades, another rich
man he left the rich man and his company for the time being pass unharmed, with
the high risk that he would be persecuted because rich men have power and
connections and do not like to be deprived from their wealth . Eventually this
became fatal to him and he is, after only two years “work in the
mountains" executed thanks to the influence of a wealthy man whom he had
left in life. He died in 1713 at the age of 25. But Juraj did not bother much
about his own fate.
The fate of the poor, the widows and orphans
and the exploited peasants touched him even more, although he robbed with his
gang also travellers other than the rich ones.
He was compelled into his actions after his
father was put to death as a peasant-serf, because he refused to go to work,
sitting at the deathbed of his wife. This was the virulent reason for the
two-year mountain raids by Juraj.
Juraj has become fairly soon after his physical
death in the spiritual world an important leader of his fellow Slovak, one of
the reasons why he lives so manifestly in the conscience and culture of the
Slovak nation.
Literature, drama and intuition of the common
man have felt his spirit and his work has correctly contributed from out the
spiritual world to a national figure of almost sacred proportions: Juraj Jánosík
has become for the Slovak people a
spiritual symbol of courage, justice, and above all a struggle against the
powerful and the establishment of the country.Rightly so. For he can still be called as if he were a saint like accepted by the Catholic Church.
Juraj Jánosík is blessed.
My blessings to you all
