"Teach Yourself Konkani "KonKanKit, Poileñ Pustak" 90 year old Canada based author's gift to Konkani Diaspora

- Ivan Saldanha-Shet.

This book "Teach Yourself Konkani - "KonKanKit" is a long planned personal maiden effort for 'Konkani Matha' by the 90 year old Canada based author and 'Konkani Premi' Dr. Mohan Prabhu (name at birth: Michael Antony Castelino), to promote Konkani overseas; a historic language spoken since ancient times among Konkani origin expatriates/diaspora all around the

world. Most who are not familiar with Indian scripts at all but have a deep affection for their mother tongue and have a deep down desire to know Konkani get a head start. The author has many books

83 Veez Konkani

on general and law matters to his credit, Konkani is Dr. Mohan Prabhu's mother tongue - this sole work here is really from deep down from his soul, love for his native land and language, this is seen among those who live away and have lost touch with their roots. It is on record that Konkani dialect is used by 42 groups of speakers, generally in 5 scripts to write it Devanagari, Roman, Kannada, Malayalam and Farsi, (VEEZ Konkani Weekly is published by Dr. Ausitn Prabhu from Chicago US in these 4 scripts) there could be others informally. Konkani is said to be heard all over the world, in use by an active aware diaspora. In India it is one among 22 official languages recognized and listed in the 8th schedule of the constitution, where several prominent languages are yet

to be included. It must be admired that this book is the result of love and admiration of the author for his mother-tongue, and amazingly a one man effort, aimed for the needs of the diaspora with no real knowledge of the language but only a great admiration. A commercial and/or sales interest is totally absent in this book of 500 plus pages painstakingly, practically and systematically produced using vast knowledge of a 90 year old after deep study and much thought and discussion. This is definitely not a book or guide for the native Konkani speaker and pundits and will probably ignore the sincere purpose of this work of deep love, a miracle to go a long way. Words do not suffice to admire Dr.Mohan, at an advanced age, skillfully coaxing the worn equipment at his disposal,

84 Veez Konkani

amidst life's trials to achieve such a feat with concern for others and love of his mother tongue, it definitely proves - 'someone up there cares and loves him'.

This book, the author very courageously says, "Its sole objective is to promote the language especially to new generations of the diaspora, perhaps also to those settled in other parts of India, for those who work with English solely. I have

always loved Konkani that I picked up by ear on my mother's lap, spoken it in my childhood and till we lived in Bombay from 1947 and I moved on to the USA in 1965 with my bride." The book has been self published by the author as his efforts to get a well-known Konkani Language Institute in Mangaluru to publish it proved difficult. The author had hoped to release the book to mark his 90 th birthday early this year, but that event passed by. The editor of the book is Sri Pundalik Prabhu, a Konkana from Ujire and the author’s close friend who has lived in Canada as long as the author. The author can not but say a word of o thanks to his own wife Smt. Clareen Prabhu, an educationist and a fluent Konkani speaker, who has been a pillar of strength, resource and inspiration,

85 Veez Konkani

The Unique Author : Dr. Mohan Prabhu's credentials: earned, BA, MA, LL.B (Bombay), LL.M (London), LL.D (Ottawa), QC (Canada)...An achiever, advanced in years, but highly active and alert, as can be seen by any one glancing through the positive erudite system used in this book will be amazed. The author was born and raised in Mangaluru where he was immersed in Konkani which he wrote in Kannada script. He is not however a Konkani scholar as English has been the medium of all his education, work in India, law career in academia and in government, and of his writing, spanning six decades and all in the West. Nonetheless, he has retained and developed his knowledge and skills with communication in Konkani.

After completing high school at St. Aloysius College in 1947, on the eve of India's Independence, he joined the world of work in Mumbai and while employed, he gained academic degrees (BA, LL.B. and MA) from the University of Bombay.

In 1960 he moved to London where, while working at Unilever Ltd., he learned the LL.M. degree with Distinction from the University of London. He also earned a doctorate in Law (LL.D.) from the University of Ottawa. Mohan Prabhu was called to the Legal Bar in four jurisdictions: India (Advocate, Maharashtra), London (Barrister, Lincoln's Inn), Saskatchewan and Ontario (Barrister and Solicitor). He was awarded the rank of Queen's Counsel in 1990.

Basic Genealogy: Mohan married his wife Clareen in Bombay (now Mumbai) 56 years ago on April 25, 1965 at the well known St. Michael's Church, Mahim, the family lived a block away, only 5 minutes walk, we have lived in Canada ever since, with a year in New York, USA Mohan Prabhu (name at birth: Michael Antony Castelino). son of Athanasius Peter Castelino (retired senai of Fr. Muller’s Kankanady Hospital, died 53 years ago and Lucy Misquith (died 49 years ago). 90 years old.

Wife Clareen (81), daughter of Casmir D’Souza Mudarth (retired as Court Registrar

86 Veez Konkani

in Mangalore (died 64 years ago) and Amy Pinto (died about 25 years ago). The author is the last male of the 5th line of the Castelino Clan - a large family of 11, he has 4 sisters left, all younger between 88 and 81.

Their children : Fiona Rita (54) only daughter, family physician at Texas Tech Health Centre in Lubbock, TX; Leighton Peter (53), investment specialist and e-commerce businessman (“roving”, currently in Ottawa), elder son and Clifton Michael (50), younger son, US and Canadian lawyer, now general counsel at a French bank in New York.

The editor : The editor of the book has put in a lot of work no doubt to present it well and support the author's efforts; He is Sri Ujre Pundalik Prabhu, a native of Ujire in Dakshina Kannada, and a Canadian citizen. He is a retired professional engineer and a long-standing friend of the author. Both he and his wife Dr. Vijayalaxmi are fluent Konkani speakers. Sri Ujre Pundalik Prabhu, who encouraged the author from

the inception of the work, edited the manuscript and provided valuable and timely help to make it printready.

Foreword : Two eminent Konkani gentlemen have written forewords, which bring to light the tremendous effort and love of Konkani that they have gauged in the Author Dr. Mohan Prabhu. One is by Payyanur Ramesh Pai General Council Member, Sahitya Academy, New Delhi. Founder Chairman, Konkani Sahitya Akademi, Kerala (2012-16); the other by Sadanand Mankikar, Burlington, Ontario, Canada Past President, Ontario Konkani Association Past Vice President, North American Konkani Association. To quote Payyanur Ramesh Pai, " The overall approach, content and methodology adopted in designing this primer makes it a great addition. The learner would feel proud of his knowledge of Konkani language while following the directions given in the book.

Not just proud, but becoming confident to handle it better as well.

87 Veez Konkani

and that will script a nice success story worth cherishing.'

The following key features, methodology make the book unique : Roman script is used for Konkani words. A script is not language but just a vehicle to teach or read, much like the strokes in Pitman shorthand or on music sheets. Beginners do not have to learn a new script, It is an all-in-one bilingual book The TEXT is the most important part for learning and is covered in about 85 pages. It describes the accents and symbols placed over Konkani words and explains their purpose, which is to enable learners to correctly speak Konkani and write it. A dozen elementary Konkani exercises which are interlined with English translation.

Vocabulary (Vocables) is in the Appendix. It is the longest part, with 440 pages. English and Konkani words are alphabetically arranged in the first column and

differentiated as in the TEXT; their translation is in the second. This eliminates the clumsy task of flipping over to a separate section.

The book can be used as a model to promote endangered languages and those that are threatened with or vulnerable to extinction, those that do not have their own script, such for instance as Tulu and Beary, and those that have several scripts, such as native Canadian languages. **Not Offered for Sale : Readers should note that this book is not offered for sale. Soft cover copies are too pricey as the books are printed in Canada and mailing costs are high. Copies in electronic format whether as a pdf version or as a eBook, are not adaptable as a learning tool but if interest is shown by readers, that option will be explored.

Limitations of KonKanKit :

88 Veez Konkani

this

Book

-

KonKanKit is not a scholarly work.

It is intended for Beginners, not for scholars nor for those who speak Konkani.

The book reflects the author’s own old Mangalurean community version of Konkani which was his mother tongue well-nigh three quarters of a century ago. Different versions are used by other Konkani speaking communities.

KonKanKit has several shortcomings and a few errors possibly; the former are primarily because it is the author’s maiden effort in a language of his early years which he had not used since 1947; visual impairment due to AMD is the cause of the latter which made it painful to proof- read 540 pages with over 100,000 Konkani words.

Other books of the author : 19822017, Dr. Mohan Prabhu wrote several articles and chapters in books published by the WHO in its official magazines on environmental toxic chemicals, especially

pesticides, environmental criminal laws in selected countries, including Canada and Germany, co-edited with Drs. Günther Heine and Anna Alvazzi del Frate. Over the same period, Dr.Mohan Prabhu authored 11 editions of the Canadian Customs Act (down to 2012), three editions of Canadian Customs and Excise Laws (down to 2004), all published by Carswell, Toronto, and two books on international trade law: the first in 2014 on Canada’s Import and Export Laws (published

by Irwin Law Inc, Toronto), the second in 2017 on Import and Export Law in India-Canada Bilateral Trade (published 20 December 2017

by Thomson Reuters Canada of Toronto) which was reviewed by this writer in 2018.

Indeed this great work for the love of Konkani "Teach Yourself Konkani - "KonKanKit, Poileñ Pustak" will be a boon to overseas Konkani people and the culture in a very new and unique way.

Our Konknni identity Gujarati speaker is a Gujarati. Sindhi speaker is a Sindhi and so on. If this is true, then a Konknni speaker should have been a Konknni and nothing else. But alas, that is not the reality. Unfortunately, and sadly, two main rivalry camps are created, namely, Goans and Mangaloreans. I emphatically refuse to identify myself with any one of the two. If any body insists to know my identity, I tell them my cultural identity is Konknni and only Konknni. No other language speakers in India suffer from language inferiority complex as Konknnis (Konknni speakers). Goan

is a territorial identity created after the arrival of the Portuguese. Prior to that Govapuri referred to present day, Old Goa. Portuguese in 1510 conquered Tiswadi area, later on Salcette and Bardes areas. These three were known as old conquest.

Later on, they conquered Sattari, Ponda, Canacona, and other areas known as new conquest. Thus, old conquest and new conquest came to be known as Goa. For generations whose ancestors are or were from Goa could be called as Goans. In this sense all Konknnis should be called Goans

90 Veez Konkani

irrespective where they are born or live now. But it is a regional identity and not a linguistic identity. In India the identity of a person is based on his or her language and culture.

During the Portuguese rule and prior to it most of the people of Goa spoke Konknni and for literary, religious and cultural fields used Marathi. Portuguese imposed their own language. The elite Catholics of Goa took Portuguese as their language and culture. They looked down upon Konknni as the language of Hindus and downtrodden Catholics.

This created a linguistic division.

Irrespective of their language identity, all preferred to call themselves as Goans.

Konknni speakers from Goa migrated at different times for various reasons mainly to Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra. In Kerala and Karnataka, they were called as Konknnis. When Konknni speakers from Goa and Karnataka migrated to Mumbai in 19th century for job opportunities, they had an identity crisis due to the ignorance

of their roots, dialect and cultural differences. Those who are from Goa called themselves Goans. Those who came from South Kanara district of Karnataka were labelled as Mangaloreans.

In present day, hypothetically if we accept these two categories, where do we place the other Konknni speakers from Belgavi, Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri, North Kanara, Udupi, Chikamagaluru, Shivamoga and other districts? Is it fair to label them as Goans or Mangaloreans, which are territorial identities? If we want to unite all Konknnis under one linguistic and cultural umbrella, we must proudly and emphatically call ourselves as Konknnis. Because there are no languages such as Goanese or Mangalorese.

Jews (Israelites) are spread all over the world and they take pride in Hebrew the language of their ancestors. We Konknnis are crippled by our narrow, segmental, and territorial thinking. Those who do not speak Konknni hide conveniently under the pseudo

91 Veez Konkani

mask of Goans or Mangaloreans.

Goan and Mangalorean terms can't be totally identified with Konknni.

Because, Portuguese, English, Marathi, Urdu and other language speakers do call themselves as Goans. Similarly, Kannada, Tulu, Beari speakers call themselves as Mangaloreans. I am proud to be born and live as a Konknni by loving all others who belong to different linguistic and ethnic groups. Have a cheerful weekend reflecting over your true linguistic identity and

celebrate it.

92 Veez Konkani

Corona. The doting, not doubting, public obliged the Emperor who had no clothes, because they too had been stripped bare of their daily essentials.

True to the script, the Tabligi Jamaat (read Muslims) was blamed for the pandemic.

I had heard Dr Harshvardhan, the Union Health Minister, saying on TV that India had information about Corona as early as January 2020. I myself had organized a meeting of the Indian Catholic Forum in Kerala in the first week of February. We had to cancel it, literally while some were boarding trains to attend, because the Kerala Government had issued an advisory against Corona.

So why did the Emperor allow Rome to burn for 2½ months, before the sudden lockdown? Obviously he had to fête his friend Trump, whose sarkar did not return to power. He had to wait for the celebration of the Holi festival, and for the riots in Delhi, purportedly instigated by his camp followers. The time was now ripe for another surgical strike that

he executed with aplomb.

Never mind the unimaginable hardship that the people faced, epitomized best by the desperate migrants on the road. At that very time my son was cycling from Goa to Kanpur (2500 kms), tracing the footsteps of great great grandfather, who did that journey with a caravan of 300 bullock carts in circa 1854-57. He cycled over 250 kms on the last day to reach home on the 23rd night. Had he been one day later, he would have been stranded on a highway without food, water or shelter.

The story of millions of Indians, suddenly confined to their homes, may not have been so dramatic, but was definitely more traumatic. No food, no money, no work, no medicines, no space to even stretch cramped limbs, or to wash clothes.

If the emperor could twiddle his thumbs for 2½ months could he not have given such a vast country a week’s notice, for people to make necessary contingency plans?

Could he not have allowed migrants

93 Veez Konkani

to return home by train, bus or plane? It would have detracted from the intensity of the strike. That was not to be. Dramatic effect over ruled plain common sense.

Had the intervening period been used for arranging PPE kits, ventilators, hospital beds and sanitizers, it would have made sense. Nothing of the kind was done. The nation’s health system was taken completely unawares. To cover up the gross failure there was more drama – showering of petals from helicopters, and lighting of lamps at a fixed hour, to drive the Corona demon away. Obviously nothing worked. There was no way that we could use the punch line of “The Three Idiots”, that “All is Well”.

We ended up like idiots anyway.

One year on, the vaccination drive is on. There was initial resistance, because of the mistaken notion that the pandemic was done and dusted.

The Chief Minister of U.P. had the audacity to tell people in Kerala that they should learn from U.P. about health. He conveniently forgets that

his State has among the lowest percentage rates of vaccination and highest percentage rates of wasted vaccines.

Having been a senior citizen for over 10 years I was entitled to be vaccinated. However, since I was responsible for about 50 workers I tapped my sources in the health department to get them vaccinated, as most of them were frontline workers. To no avail. I reconciled myself to getting my own vaccination done. Here’s where the story changes slightly.

A friend of mine did my registration with my Aadhar Card. In a couple of minutes I got an appointment at the Kanshiram Hospital, based on my place of residence. I left work for my “appointment”. My wife, also a frontline worker with special children, chose to join me, even though she didn’t have the previous appointment.

The hospital was a newly built up, very spacious and clean. I expected to see a big banner for the

94 Veez Konkani

vaccination centre. There wasn’t.

Senior citizens had to climb to the first floor. I expected to see a spacious well demarcated area, as repeatedly shown on TV. Nothing of the kind. There were three poky rooms, with no sanitizers, social distancing or provisions for checking one’s temperature or blood pressure.

I went to my allotted room for my appointment. Another rude shock.

Never mind your appointment. Just stand in line like everybody else. I got my shot in the arm, followed by my wife who had no appointment.

Again in a matter of minutes I got a notification on my ordinary keypad phone that I had been successfully vaccinated. I was given a certificate that stated that I had Covishield, the Astra Zeneca vaccine. There was no recovery room, just a couple of benches scattered around. I sat to look at my Covid Passport. Lo and behold, it had no Government stamp or signature. All it mentioned was the date for my next dose, and an emergency number, in case of need. My personal details were left

blank with a by line stating that the beneficiary should fill in his own personal details. There was no mention even of my gateway to heaven, my Aadhar Card number.

I noticed that most people just walked away after getting shot in the arm. I chose to sit out the mandatory 30 minutes.

I then noticed a huge banner on the wall, giving credit for the vaccination camp to a Minister of the BJP! This was highly objectionable.

A

95 Veez Konkani

minister or a political party cannot claim credit for a national programme that involves everybody from health workers to vaccine manufacturers.

I felt like an idiot, because all was

not well, despite the bells and shells.

I withhold further comment till I get my next shot next month.

Romero’s Prophetic Courage Needed

-*Fr Cedric Prakash SJ Even a cursory glance at the realities which grip India today, will make one realise how grim the situation is. On every global parameter, from the happiness index to the freedom one; from democracy to economic indicators, the country has plummeted miserably and as never before. Untruth and injustice, divisiveness and discrimination, exploitation and exclusion have

become the ‘new normal’! Migrants and minorities, farmers and women, Dalits and Adivasis are at the receiving end of a system which is uncaring and openly supports those who toe their line and indulge in

96 Veez Konkani

spewing hate. Freedom of religion, of speech and expression are now a rarity. Human rights defenders like Fr Stan Swamy are denigrated, hounded, incarcerated, and even killed. Truth and Justice are conveniently sacrificed for petty political gains; those whose primary duty is to propagate and protect these basics, like the judiciary and other Constitutional bodies, are frightened to take a stand and have abdicated their responsibility.

Politicians of another party are bought up or blackmailed to come over to the ruling party. It has never been so bad!

On 24 March 1980, Archbishop Oscar Romero was brutally gunned down whilst celebrating the Eucharist in his native El Salvador.

He was known as a fiercely outspoken critic of his Government, the military and of the right-wing elements of his country, for their continued oppression and exploitation of the poor. There has never been any doubt about who was responsible for his death. He visibly and vocally took sides with the poor, the marginalised and the victims of injustices. His martyrdom

spontaneously made him a ‘Saint’ for millions of them. It was estimated that more than 250,000 were present at his funeral as a sign of gratitude to the man who did so much for them and whom they deeply loved.

A few moments before he was assassinated Romero said in his homily, “many do not understand,

and they think Christianity should not get involved in such things (taking a stand for truth and justice). But, to the contrary, you have just heard Christ's Gospel, that one must not love oneself so much as to avoid getting involved in the risks of life which history demands of us, that those who would avoid the danger will lose their life, while those who out of love for Christ give themselves to the service of others will live, like the grain of wheat that dies, but only apparently. If it did not die, it would remain alone. The harvest comes about because it dies, allows itself to be sacrificed in the earth and destroyed. Only by destroying itself does it produce the harvest”.

97 Veez Konkani

The day before (23 March) he was killed, Romero gave a powerful sermon, which was broadcast over radio, that appealed to the soldiers to disobey their superiors. He said,

“In the name of God, in the name of this suffering people whose cries rise to Heaven more loudly each day, I implore you, I beg you, I order you in the name of God: Stop the repression!” That appeal was his death sentence.

Romero was known to be ‘conservative’ as a young priest and even in his early years as a bishop.

He was afraid to rock the boat and preferred to maintain the 'status quo'. He never wanted to be on the wrong side of the powerful and the elite of El Salvador. He had however a good friend in Jesuit Fr Rutilio Grande. The latter left no stone unturned to work on justice issues, to highlight the plight of the exploited and to make their struggles his own. Besides, Grande did not hesitate to take up cudgels against the powerful and other vested interests. On 12 March 1977, Grande was killed by the military junta. Only three weeks earlier, Romero was appointed Archbishop

of San Salvador. Grande’s death came as a terrible shock to Romero.

Presiding over Rutilio’s funeral, Romero said, “the government

should not consider a priest who takes a stand for social justice as a politician or a subversive element when he is fulfilling his mission in the politics of the common good.”

Adding emphatically, “Anyone who attacks one of my priests, attacks me. If they killed Rutilio for doing what he did, then I too have to walk the same path”. The death of his

dear friend was a turning point in the life of Romero. From that day onwards, he wholeheartedly worked for the rights of the poor, until his own murder, three years later.

Pope Francis canonised Romero on 14 October 2018.In his homily at the Canonisation ceremony, Pope Francis praised Romero for leaving

"the security of the world, even his own safety, in order to live his life according to the Gospel, close to the poor and to his people, with a heart drawn to Jesus and his brothers and sisters". He went on to add, "Let us ask for the grace always to leave things behind for love of the Lord: to leave behind wealth, the

98 Veez Konkani

yearning for status and power, structures that are no longer adequate for proclaiming the Gospel, those weights that slow down our mission, the strings that tie us to the world". Over the years Pope Francis has consistently highlighted the prophetic courage of Romero as “a father, a friend, and

a brother and who should serve as a yardstick for all”.

On December 21, 2010, the United Nations General Assembly, in a fitting tribute to Oscar Romero proclaimed 24 March annually as the International Day for the Right to the Truth Concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims.

• to honour the memory of victims of gross and systematic human rights violations and promote the importance of the right to truth and justice.

• to pay tribute to those who have devoted their lives to and lost their lives in the struggle to promote and protect human rights for all.

• to recognise, the important work and values of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero of El Salvador, who was assassinated on 24 March 1980, after denouncing violations of the human rights of the most vulnerable populations and defending the principles of protecting lives, promoting human dignity and opposition to all forms of violence.

Today, India desperately needs the prophetic courage of Romero. From across the spectrum political, religious, and social, leaders are afraid of taking a stand against the powers that simply crush others Those who call themselves ‘disciples’ of Jesus have no qualms of conscience to hobnob with fascist and fundamentalists, who brazenly destroy the sanctity of the Constitution and the pluralistic fabric of the country. It is easier for these ‘disciples’ to indulge in a politics of convenience and compromise: to support ‘love jihad’; not to take on the UP Government and police, if religious sisters are harassed and hounded out of a train; not to call for the revocation of the CAA amendments, the UAPA and sedition laws; not to openly

99 Veez Konkani

show that you are supporting the farmers protests or for that matter, what is happening in Kashmir. In short, if it means, by taking a stand for truth and justice, you have to take on the ruling regime, then it is a clear ‘no-no’! Surely dear Saint Romero, as he looks down from heaven, will be wondering why the disciples of Jesus in India are not faithful to the Gospel of Jesus.

On the day when we celebrate the memory of this great saint, let his challenging words on his own reality, a few days before his assassination, awaken us to respond to our context today: “I will not tire

of declaring that if we really want an

effective end to violence, we must remove the violence that lies at the root of all violence: structural violence, social injustice, exclusion of citizens from the management of the country, repression. All this is what constitutes the primal cause, from which the rest flows naturally”.

Are we listening and paying heed to those prophetic words? Yes, we urgently need the Prophetic Courage of Saint Oscar Romero!!

NINE MONTHS TO CHRISTMAS! # chhotebhai Readers would want to pack me off to the loony bin. Here we are in the midst of Holy Week and I am dreaming of Christmas! Am I nuts?

100 Veez Konkani

There is a famous book, “Nine days to Christmas” by Aurora Labastida and Marie Hall Ets, published in 1960. It is also the subject of a popular Christmas carol. But why nine months? I am writing this on 25th March, exactly 9 months before Christmas. Going by the common perception that the gestation period of a child in the womb is 9 months, it works backwards to put 25th March as the day that Jesus was conceived in his mother’s womb. It is commonly known as the Feast of the Annunciation.

Let’s get things straight. Had there been no Annunciation, there would have been no incarnation, no Christmas, no Holy Week, and thereby no redemption. I believe that the Annunciation is a far greater event than Christmas, the latter being the natural progression of the former. We therefore need to spend a little more time to reflect on the significance of this day and its relevance in our daily lives.

The events of the Annunciation are encapsulated in the Angelus, which Catholics earlier recited three times a day, whenever the church bells

chimed.

The bells may have stopped chiming, but nobody has stopped us from reciting this beautiful prayer, if we want to. I’ll be frank. It is my favourite prayer, even more meaningful than the Our Father. I say this because it is an interactive prayer, a dialogue between God and (Wo)man, while the Our Father is a monologue. If this shocks you, so be it. I do my best to pray (not recite) the Angelus every morning, precisely because of this dialogue, of God coming to me time and again, and seeking my voluntary response.

When I became a major in 1969, I was initiated into the Legion of Mary, an experience that I cherish to this day. (Incidentally, my father was the first Indian Legion Envoy, appointed at Madras in 1944). The Legion always celebrated the Annunciation with great fervour, which is why I probably still have that devotion.

Of the four Gospels, it is only Luke’s that records the Annunciation (Lk1:26-38). I find the text of The New Jerusalem Bible a faithful translation, devoid of paraphrase,

101 Veez Konkani

hence will be quoting from it. Most of us would be guilty of being dismissive of the Annunciation.

Even in popular Catholic piety we find far more importance given to other Marian feasts like the Immaculate Conception (8th December), the Nativity of Mary (8th September) and the Assumption (15th August). Perhaps we take the Annunciation for granted, which is to our spiritual detriment. Some reflection is called for.

The angel Gabriel begins the dialogue with these words “Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour, the Lord is with you” (Lk 1:28). So, this is a joyous occasion (a feast). It was also God’s favour (gift), not something earned. Even the gift required a response. Mary being human (not superhuman as we would like to believe) is deeply disturbed (v29), and “asked herself what this greeting could mean” (v30). Notice that her response was an internal reflection, and not an external query.

Sensing her confusion, the angel tells her not to be afraid as she has “won God’s favour” (v31). This now

indicates that she has earned the gift, obviously because of her virtuousness. It is indicative of the depth of her spirituality. God did not choose any woman. He chose the one whom he found capable of shouldering the great responsibility being thrust upon her at a tender age.

The angel then explains the message telling her that her son “will be called Son of the Most High” (v 32). He would have “the throne of his ancestor David, he will rule over the House of Jacob forever and his reign will have no end” (v 33).

“Your child will be holy and will be called Son of God” (v 35).

Imagine, for a moment, if one of us were told that our offspring would be a king, president or prime minister. Would not our heads swell with pride? We would be strutting all over the stage, safe in the knowledge of what was to come.

Look at some of our bishops, school principals and parish priests who believe that they are the chosen ones. Humility seems to be at a premium.

102 Veez Konkani

But God’s chosen can never be proud. That is why when visiting her cousin Elizabeth, Mary says that “he has looked upon the humiliation of his servant” (v 47). These words are pregnant with meaning (pun intended). Later, in his public ministry, Jesus would also say” Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart” (Mat 11:29). If there is one big take away from the Annunciation, it is humility; imperative in an ego driven world.

If we carefully observe Jesus’ behaviour, we find that the one thing he could not tolerate was religious self-righteousness or hypocrisy. And the great virtue that runs its course though the New Testament is humility. Some quotes would suffice.

“The one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven” (Mat 18:4).

“Anyone who humbles himself will be raised up” (Mat 23:12). Of Jesus St Paul writes, “He was humbler yet, even to accepting death, death on a cross” (Phi 2:8). St James says, “God opposes the proud, but he accords his favour to the humble” (Jas 4:7).

And again “Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will lift you up” (Jas 4:10).

St Peter adds, “Humility towards one another must be the garment you all wear constantly, because God opposes...”

(1 Pet 5:5). “Bow down, then, before the power of God now, so that he may raise you up in due time” (1 Pet 5:6).

Coming back to the Annunciation, it did not render Mary wonderstruck or withdrawn. We read that she “went quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah” (v 39). Her humility spurred her into action.

And proclamation. Her cousin Elizabeth testified “Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy” (v 44) The significance of this event should not be lost on us.

The sequence is - the Word came to Mary - it was incarnated in her - she took the incarnated word to Elizabeth - and in turn it was incarnated in John the Baptist. This why Mary is called the Queen of the Apostles.

She was the first evangelist; she proclaimed the word incarnated in her.

103 Veez Konkani

Today missiologists tell us that our the greatest Marian feast, the mission is not so much of greatest interaction between God proclaiming the Word, then and (Wo)man since the Garden of conveying to others the Word of Eden. May Jesus and his Mother God incarnated in me. I cannot give Mary give us the grace of humility to others what I do not have. So, on this Holy Week. this day and time of the Annunciation let us celebrate it as March 2021 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Konkani Institute holds seminar on NEP and NLP

In the light of the progress of Konkani in the future, a seminar was organised by the Institute of Konakani, St Aloysius College (Autonomous) here on March 20.

Dr Alwyn D’Sa, Registrar (designated) of the College spoke on National Education Policy -2020 and what possibilities regional languages have. In his speech he said, “National Education Policy (NEP) - 2020 emphasises on

education in mother tongue from Anganwadi to eighth standard. But if the NEP is implemented, there will be no textbooks in Konkani. In this regard, there is a challenge and opportunity for the Institute of Konkani and likeminded institutes to spearhead the preparation of all the required textbooks in the Konkani language from Anganwadi to eighth grade.”

He also said that Konkani language classes should be conducted for professionals so that employees,

Anne Rajan, assistant professor of computer science at Dempe College, Goa, spoke on natural language processing (NLP) said that NLP is nothing but teaching the computer to understand and manipulate human language. She spoke about the need for learning natural language processing for the development of Konkani language.

She further enumerated on the progress made in this regard in Goa. “The modern world is fast-paced in technology and technology is changing fast. Language that does

Sherry Williams, CEO Prevent Blindness Blesses Bradly D’Souza with Vision

‘The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread’ said by Mother Teresa.

This has been exemplified by Sherry Williams President and CEO, of Prevent Blindness when she bestowed love and most crucial “Vision” on Bradly D’Souza when he was a 13-yearold boy struggling with broken glasses and no medical insurance in the United States of America.

Prevent Blindness, Ohio Affiliate representatives Sherry Williams and Bradly D’Souza joined Hriday Raval of BHARAT FM® Facebook and YouTube Channel on March 20th for an informative hour of discussion on the mission

and programs of the organization. Sherry serves as its President & CEO and Bradly is an organization ambassador and past member of the Board of Directors.

Every 11 minutes, someone in the United States loses their eyesight. The leading causes of blindness and visual impairment in adults are glaucoma, diabetes related eye disease, cataract, and macular degeneration.

In children, the leading causes are amblyopia and strabismus. 50% of vision loss is preventable!

Bradly D’Souza at 19 years was appointed as the youngest ‘Board of Director’ for Prevent Blindness.

116 Veez Konkani

Children who do not see well, do not socialize well; spoke Sherry Williams.

Prevent Blindness educates the public about the leading causes of eye disease and arms them with the information on how they can protect their vision. In adults, vision loss increases the chance of falling, increases incidents of depression, social isolation, and poor health, decreases independence, and increases the likelihood of a nursing home admission. Vision plays an important role in children’s physical, cognitive, and social development.

Uncorrected vision problems can impair child development, interfere with learning, and even lead to permanent vision loss; thus, early detection and treatment are critical.

Sherry with deep sentiments reflected; I do have to say when Bradly was young, and we look at what kind of learning takes place through your gift of sight, eighty percent of what a child learns is through their gift of sight. To remove that barrier from the other barriers is such an easy wonderful thing to do, when there are so many other challenges that one is facing. I am so proud of what Bradly has done and the tiny little bit part we have played in it, I am humbled.

This inspiring boy then, but a thriving man today said; “It’s not small but it’s very core to my everyday life. We take it for granted when we have it. The fact I wake up and can look at my phone or look at anything, was solved by me getting those glasses.

Hriday Raval asked Bradly “We have read and heard of the Blockbuster Biopic film being made on your father Harold D’Souza being released in 2022.”

Bradly said, ‘I am excited, my story is not possible without his story. As somebody who has

117 Veez Konkani

been slowly pushing in the encompassing. If all goes well, it background, to have him get to will be done with best intentions this point is exciting as to what and will not be done in a poor will develop and what will be manner. I am incredibly there. There are still parts of my supportive and excited for the Dad that I do not know, as it was final project. a very traumatic experience for him.
