Chemistry of the soul

Father Nedyalko Kalinov

Father Nedyalko embarks on the path of science, but God whispers to him another calling – to leave inorganic chemistry and dedicate himself to the chemistry of the soul. In two days, he reads the Gospels and realizes that his life belongs to faith, dedicating himself to the mission of helping lost souls. Although he has lived in distant Germany for 15 years, his roots remain deeply connected to the land that gave birth to him. He discovers the Bulgarian in the Orthodox church, in prayers, songs and poetry, as well as in the hearts of his compatriots. Father Nedyalko believes that the greatest happiness is far from the vanity of the world – where the soul breathes freely, because only when it is healthy is a person truly alive.
