History of Sacred Heart Novitiate Eachinkadu 1952-2012

Dedicated to Rev. Bro. John Kallarackal, s.g. The First Indian Superior General and a former novice of Eachinkadu

Bro. Lawrence Joseph, s.g.

Montfort College, Bangalore, 2012

INTRODUCTION This year, 2012, marks the Diamond Jubilee of Eachinkadu Novitiate. This novitiate has played an important role in the expansion of Montfort Brothers of St. Gabriel in Asia. As we celebrate this jubilee let us recall to our mind with gratitude the Brothers who contributed much to the growth of this institution and thank God for the blessings the Congregation has received through this institution. Bro. Eleazar (Louis Bureau) was the Superior of the Province from 1947 to 1959. It was he, who took the decision to shift the novitiate from Coonoor to Eachinkadu to provide a larger area compared to the one in Coonoor and an independent existence. The property was bought in February 1952 and Bro. Othon effected the needed changes and repairs. Later he was in charge of constructing the dormitory, chapel and study hall. On May 30, 1952, Bro. Michael and the novices reached Eachinkadu. During 2005-06, the Yercaud Province rebuilt the main building and Bro. George Kalangod was in charge of this work. This book is written to pay tribute to Bro. Eleazar and to Bros. Michael, Stephen, Charles and the other Novice Masters and staff of Eachinkadu during the last 60 years. Their contribution has been great. In 1952, I joined the Eachinkadu Novitiate as a postulant. To write this book, I wrote personal letters to some 350 Brothers, who made their novitiate here. Only one third of them replied to me. I thank them most sincerely. Bro. Suradej of Thailand and Bro. Dominic Yeo Koh of Singapore sent me particulars about Thai and Singaporean Brothers. Bro. Joseph Nirappil was kind enough to correct the text. I am very grateful to all these three Brothers. I was able to collect nearly all the group photos. Not only have I given a short history of the novitiate but also minimum bio-data of the Brothers who made the novitiate in Eachinkadu. Some Brothers gave me particulars about themselves and their contributions. But many Brothers did not send me particulars, and so I had to go through the Novitiate Registration Books and through 60 yearly Personnel. My eye sight is not up to the mark. Hence there can be mistakes in this book and I say "sorry" to the Brothers concerned. I have given bio-data of 369 Brothers. As you go through the book, we come across Brothers who were great leaders, principals, formators, teachers, scholars, guides and builders. Let us admire these men and try to imitate them. All need not be great men; but all can be wonderful models, inspirers and servants. Saints like Theresa of Lisieux and Alphonsa were simple women, but holy religious. I request the younger ones and the not so young among us to make a mark by contributing their share for the growth of the congregation and that of the Church and the human family. The older ones like me too can still make a contribution. I feel that I can still teach, write, pray, serve and try to be a faithful religious committed to God and to my brothers. I am very happy that Rev. Bro. John Kallarackal has been elected as the first Indian Superior General and he had his novitiate at Eachinkadu. I am very happy to dedicate this book to him and I wish him every success in his animation and administration of the Institute. My health is not up to the mark; but I try to keep up my inner spirit and dynamism positive. At 77, I feel happy and I thank all the Brothers for their love and concern for me. I am planning to publish the biography of St. Montfort and that of Rev. Fr. Deshayes. Please read these books; but more than that become their imitators. Bro. Lawrence Joseph s.g.

The History of Eachinkadu Novitiate from 1952to 2012 Chapter 1 (1952-1959)

Br. Eleazar

On Oct. 3, 1951, the Province decided to buy the Eachinkadu property in Yercaud in order to shift the Novitiate from Coonoor. The transfer of the Novitiate from Coonoor to Yercaud was approved by the Sacred Congregation for Religious. The Province needed Rs 70,000/- to buy the Eachinkadu property and to get things ready to start the Novitiate. General Administration allowed the Province to borrow this amount. On Feb. 20, 1952, the Province was able to borrow Rs 35,000.00 from Kerala, especially from Mr. P.C. Abraham Pallivathukkal. The same evening the Provincial borrowed Rs 10,000/- from a friend in Salem. On 21st morning, the sum of Rs 45,000/- was remitted to the owner of Eachinkadu property and a few days later it became legally the Brothers‟ property.

On Feb. 01, 1952, Bro. Othon took possession of the property and started the repair works and some additional constructions. The Scholastics from Madras and Tindi and five future postulants reached the place by the end of March and they worked hard to get the house ready. Thailand made a generous contribution of Rs 15,000/- towards Eachinkadu and Malaya made an advance payment of Rs. 10,000/- towards the boarding of its subjects. Part of this amount was used later to begin the construction of a new dormitory for the novices. In May, work was going on in full swing at Eachinkadu. The Eachinkadu Bungalow was built by a French couple Aime Cammiade and his wife Charlotte. Mr. Aime Cammiade was a merchant in Madras. The Eachinkadu Bungalow must have been built in 1863. Mr. Aime died in 1870, the whole property of 14.55 acres passed to his son Gilbert Cammiade. In 1876, he sold the property to Mrs. Charlotte Cammiade. The latter, in 1891, sold the property to Rev. Dr. William Miller, the Principal of Christian College, Madras. That property had then an area of 11.71 acres as it has now. A part of the previous property was sold to Mr. Daly. Dr. Miller built the bungalow known as Mountain Home. At the earlier times the staff of Christian College, Madras used to come up here for holidays. During the First World War (1914-1918), the property was taken over by the Government and used it as a camp for Prisoners-of-war. The crew of the famous “Emden” were interned there. Dr. Miller died in Scotland in July 1923. In Jan. 1926, acting on behalf of the executors of the Will of the late Dr. Miller, the property was sold to Sri. K. Subaroyan Mudhaliar. The new owner carried out extensive repairs to the buildings and planted coffee and orange trees. Just before the World War II, “Mountain Home” was occupied by an ex-Prime Minister of Afghanistan, who was detained there with his family as political prisoners by the then 1

Government of India. During the war, “Eachinkadu” was used as a military Hospital for British Troops and there were as many as 60 beds in the various wards. After the war the buildings were unoccupied until the whole property was purchased by the Province on Feb. 22, 1952 for Rs. 45,000/-.

Br. Michael

On May 30th, the Novitiate was shifted from Coonoor to Eachinkadu, Yercaud. On June 20th, the Vicar General, in the absence of the Bishop of Salem, who had gone for the Barcelona Eucharistic Congress, blessed the House. The novices had their dormitory in Mountain Home and the Eachinkadu Bungalow provided chapel, two class rooms, library, recreation hall, Novice Master‟s room, etc. The dining hall was in another building connected to the Eachinkadu Bungalow. The Novices were very happy with the new surrounding. They had no play fields nor electricity for two years. They were busy developing vegetable and flower gardens. Water was always a bit of a problem. Bros. Michael, Cecilius, Francis Xavier and Felician looked after the Novices.

On Nov. 13, 1952, Bros. Paul of Jesus and Peter Mary, both from Malaya, took their first vows and Bro. Gabriel Maria from Thailand had his vestition. The ceremony was presided over by the Bishop of Salem. The Director Principal of Malaya wanted the two newly professed Brothers to do their Senior Cambridge in Yercaud. Bro. Emmanuel, a Canadian, also meant for Malaya, came to Yercaud to study for the same examination. Bro. Arthur, a French man, belonging to the Province of Thailand also came to Eachinkadu to improve his English. All the four stayed at Eachinkadu and during the winter holidays, teachers from Montfort School, came to Eachinkadu to take classes for them. In January 1953, things were not going on well at Eachinkadu, where the inmates were of four different nationalities: Indian, Siamese, Malayan and Irish. Bro. Emmanuel had brought along with him from London an Irish ex-sailor who wanted to become a Brother and work in Malaya. It was soon proved that this Irishman had no vocation at all and still less of common sense. It was mostly on account of him that two antagonist camps were formed in the Novitiate: Malaya vs. Kerala. From the beginning of January, there had been a certain amount of tension between the two camps, mostly due to the accumulation of wounded national pride. On Sunday Jan. 25, 1953, in the evening an insignificant spark set the whole thing ablaze and “striking arguments” were brought into action. Naturally this little eruption caused a fairly strong local 3

emotion but the Master of Novices and the Provincial had no difficulty in restoring peace and order. However, some drastic steps had to be taken. The ex-sailor was sent sailing back home. Another Malayan Postulant, who had arrived the previous November, had to be sent back on account of his poor health, being a T.B. patient, and of his fiery temper. Within a week the whole storm had blown over and after the monthly recollection on Feb. 1st, all traces of it had disappeared. By the middle of February 1953, Bro. Cecilius left for Bangalore for treatment. Bro. Victrice from Hyderabad replaced him at Eachinkadu. During the first two years, Eachinkadu had no electricity. On Feb. 13, 1953, Bro. Michael had a bad fall at Eachinkadu. It was about 8.00 p.m. After supper, Bro. Michael was coming from refectory by the path that runs along his room towards the verandah. At that time instead of the timber room there was a flower garden. There was not even a wooden parapet. Bro. Michael forgot to turn left and went on straight and fell into the garden, which was 5 feet below. The fall could have been fatal for a man of 75 years. The novices jumped down and found him unconscious lying among the plants. His face was full of blood with one side badly damaged. He was carefully lifted and carried to his room. In the meantime messengers were sent to Montfort School in order to get a doctor. The doctor came and examined Bro. Michael: all the limbs were intact and no bone was broken. Blood was oozing in the vicinity of the left ear. The patient did not have a comfortable night. The following morning the doctor examined him and ordered complete rest. The patient was suffering terribly from the bruises on his face. He was asked to take rest for a month. Bro. Charles was asked to be the acting Novice Master. He reached the place on Feb. 16th and he replaced Bro. Michael till March 12th. On Friday 13th March, Bro. Michael resumed his work as Master of Novices. On May 8, 1953, at Yercaud, 16 postulants (11 from India and 5 from Thailand) received their religious habit and fourteen Novices took their first vows, 12 from India, one from Thailand and one from Malaya. Those from India were Bros. Daniel Mary, Adrian Mary, Barnabas, Gerald Mary, Edmund Campion, Cyril of Alexandria, Wilfrid, John of Montfort, Donald, Anselm, Fabian and Oliver. Bro. Adalbert from Thailand and Bro. James of the Sacred Heart from Singapore also made their First Profession. On the same day, Bro. Peter of Sienna took his perpetual vows. Bro. Hubert, the Provincial of Thailand was present for the ceremony. On May 12th, Bro. Hubert left for Thailand, taking with him Bro. Arthur, who had picked up enough English for teaching purposes. At the beginning of July, Bro. Philip (Thai), who had completed his Intermediate at Loyola, Madras, also left for Thailand. During 1952-53, the novices and postulants stayed in Mountain Home. Construction of a new dormitory started in 1952. Bro. Othon looked after the construction work. The work could be completed by July 1953. On July 29, 1953, the Novices moved from Mountain Home to the newly constructed dormitory. Bro. Amance moved to Mountain Home, which was renamed as Montfort Home, as Director of the Scholasticate which had four young Brothers, all for Malaya. He continued to be the Headmaster of Montfort School. He also took classes for the Novices. Bro. Francis Xavier came to stay in the same building. Bro. Maurille, who completed 65 years, came to stay in the same building. He began a small workshop. He repaired tools and sometimes manufactured tools including wheelbarrows. His exemplary life was a shining example for the novices. A new statue of Our Lady of Fatima 4

was erected in front of the main building. This statue as well as the new dormirtory was blessed on Aug. 15, 1953. 8-5-1953

On November 12, 1953, H.E. Luang Bhadravadi, the Thai Ambassador to India, paid a visit to Yercaud. What really brought him to Yercaud was his deep affection and gratitude for the Brothers of St. Gabriel, who had formed him in Thailand and in France and one of whom was Bro. Michael. On 13th morning he attended the vestition of Bro. Andrew and the first profession of Bro. Gabriel Maria, both from Thailand. That evening he presided over the Annual Prize Day at Montfort School. In his speech, he congratulated the students on their good fortune in being formed by the Brothers of St. Gabriel and assured them that what he was, he owed it entirely to the education he had received at their hands. On Dec. 12, 1953, H.E. Cardinal Tisserant, the 5

Cardinal Protector of the Congregation, paid a visit to Eachinkadu. On Jan. 06, 1954, Bro. Gabriel Marie, Superior General, paid a visit to Eachinkadu. On Feb. 24, 1954, Mr. Wilson, a teacher of Montfort School, met with a tragic death. When he was returning from Eachinkadu after dropping Bro. Vincent there, his motor bike hit against a lorry at the bend near Eachinkadu. On May 8, 1954, the Profession ceremonies took place in Montfort Chapel, Yercaud. 12 Postulants (10 from India, and one each from Thailand Malaya) received their religious habit. Fifteen Novices made their first vows: 10 from India: Bros. Ezechias, Herbert, Basil Mary, Lawrence Joseph, John Mary Vianney, Francis Borgia, Maurice Joseph, Rosius Mary, Clement and Joachim, and five from Thailand: Bros.

On June 13, 1954, a Calvary was erected in front of the dormitory. Later Bro. Martin de Vertou was buried just in front of it. On June 15, 1954, Bro. Dominc Mary joined the staff. On Nov. 13, 1954, Bro. Theodore (Prachuab) from Thailand made his First Profession. Albert and Stanislaus Kostka from India, Bartholomew from Singapore and Somthai from Thailand had their vestition.

On May 31, 1957, at the desire of the Superior General, the Council decided that in future the postulants would receive the religious habit and begin their novitiate on the 13th of November and would make their first profession in the month of April, some 17 months later. Later it was found that December 8th would be more convenient and so the vestition started taking place on that date from 1957 onwards. In May 1957, the Provincial of Thailand visited Eachinkadu. On May 8, 1957, the following ten novices made their first profession: John Bosco, M.P. John, Josephraj, Packiaraj, P.L. Paul, Peter of Verona, Norbert, C.M. Joseph, John Cantius and Tarcisius. Bro.

On Dec. 08, 1957, the Postulants had their Vestition. Bro. Rembert, Asst. General, landed in Madras on May 8, 1958. On the 9th morning he was at Eachinkadu to preside over the retreat. The retreat ended on the 15th with the first profession of 13 Indian Novices: Bros. Ananias, Celestine Joseph, Patrick Joseph, Octavian, Andrew of Sienna, Philip Neri, Alexis, Leopold, Cecilius Mary, Azarias, Bonaventure, Daniel Henry and Richard and 5 from Thailand: Bros. Henry Mary, Joseph Louis, Michael Mary, Peter Maurice and Paul Joseph. Of the 13 newly professed Brothers 7 were sent to Kazipet along with Bro. Jerome from Montfort, 2 were sent to Tindi for Basic Training, 2 to Ranchi and 2 to All Saints. In June 1958, Bro. John Louis from Thailand replaced Bro. Stephen also from Thailand. Bro. Stephen was a teacher in Eachinkadu from 1954-1958. In November 1958, he left for Thailand. On April 30, 1959, the retreat in Eachinkadu started and the first profession took place on May 7 . Bro. John of God, the Acting Provincial, after spending some time in France and in Holy Land, reached Yercaud in time for the Profession. Twenty four novices took their first vows: 19 from India: Bros. Benjamin, John Mary Vianney, Lambert Mary, John Chrysostom, Christopher Joseph, Louis Mary, Gilbert, Francis Xavier, Aloysius Joseph, Hilarius, Dominic Savio, John Gualbert, Augustine Joseph, Edward Joseph, Robert, Denis Mary, Ernest, Sylvester, Alexander Joseph, 3 from Thailand: Bros. Stanislaus Mary, Richard Mary, and Felix Mary, 2 from Malaya: Bros. Philip Joseph and Mathew Joseph. Transfer of Bro. Michael: On Oct. 25, 1959, Bro. Stephen officially took charge as Novice Master and Bro. Amance as Socius. Bro. Michael with a broken heart and with a few tears in his eyes left Eachinkadu and came to stay at Montfort School. Yet for a few days he was a regular and frequent visitor to the Novitiate and this was rather embarrassing to the new administration. Finally he was told to discontinue these visits. He was then busy with the arrangement for his journey to Bangkok to participate in the Assumption College's Jubilee. The death of Bro. Michael On Sunday November 8th, Bro. Michael did not get up and did not attend Mass. He had spent a very uncomfortable night and had even to get help to put him back to bed after having had yet another fall in the bathroom. The doctor who saw him that morning diagnosed low blood pressure and a weak heart and treatment was prescribed and given accordingly. For the greater part of the morning the patient was very drowsy. At noon he was able to take some liquid food. Round about 3 p.m. the school nurse was with him along with the ward boy. Bro. Michael complained then of severe back pain and the nurse went to the infirmary to get some cotton so as to give him a rub down. While she was away, Bro. Michael collapsed and when she came back she found him gasping for breath and she had just time to suggest, “My Jesus mercy!” before Bro. Michael breathed his last. It was about 3.20 p.m. on th

10

Sunday 8th November 1959. At about the same time many of his old boys had assembled in Bangkok to decide on the kind of reception they were to give to their old teacher. It was exactly two weeks since he had left the Novitiate. Bro. Michael‟s body was taken to Eachinkadu and laid out in the Study Hall, where the novices and postulants watched and prayed by his side until the burial the following afternoon, at the foot of the statue of Our Lady of Fathima, where he had prayed and made the novices pray very often. Bro. Michael was the Novice Master from 1942-59. His contribution to the growth of the Provinces of India, Thailand and Malaysia-Singapore is remarkable. R.I.P. A Novice of Bro. Michael has sent me the following article “Glory to Thee Eachinkadu” The invitation to briefly reminiscence about “Eachinkadu”, a place beloved for so many who passed two or more years there in their quest for personal spiritual development and to be molded as a young Gabrielite, is a daunting task indeed! The grounds of Eachinkadu are hallowed by so many youthful souls who came there to be initiated in piety, prayerfulness, selfabnegation for a God centered way of life and to gain insights into the wisdom and discipline of being Gabrielites over so many years! Even after the passage of five long decades, I have still an overwhelming sense of joyfulness, warmth and awe as I think of the Place, the Persons and the “Eachinkadu Experience”. I was a mere eighteen year old greenhorn with only the good will and some rudimentary preparedness of my Juniorate‟s introductory awareness into the Gabrielite Traditions and Marian Spirituality. Like my fellow Juniors we left Coonoor accompanied only by a boundless hope, enthusiasm and childlike expectations. In those days going to Eachinkadu meant “graduation”, a promotion for us all!!! It was a summer day in the late fifties when we were taken up to Shevoroy Hills through meandering roads and hairpin bends, through endless rows of coffee plants and tall eucalyptus trees to reach the gates of the Eachinkadu Novitiate. It seems only yesterday when I think back of my first impression. The white statue of the Blessed Virgin in front of a lushly green background surrounded by flowerbeds of pansies and snapdragons, marigolds and dahlias … it was a beautiful sight to behold! Next only to this pleasing sight was the “Man”. He stood in front of the Statue to meet, greet and welcome us. I still remember well his hands closed together in front of him just below his flowing white beard, deep penetrating eyes looking warmly towards us. He was truly an inspirational sight who we were all introduced to as “Thatha”, the Novice Master. Earlier on, I had a sneaking fear that my first mentor and formation Guru, Brother Charles Garnier‟s examples would be a rather difficult act to follow for anyone! However, Thatha‟s body language, his inspirational demeanor and his venerable looks strangely calmed down my apprehension very quickly. I recall with delight how I felt spontaneously attracted to this saintly man with a soft baritone voice and a kind gentle nature . . . Truly his majestic carriage and calming manners belied my conjured up fears of a no nonsense Master of the Novices! The two years of my stay in Eachinkadu sped fast but not without the reality check of who I actually was and what was the level of my willingness to allow myself to be molded into 11

becoming a young Gabrielite. Our infectious childlike approach helped to assuage the apprehensions, anxieties and the self-doubts as we were called upon to say “Yes” to the Eachinkadu experience. In reality my anxiety state was much less burdensome than the question mark of whether I would be found “wanting” as I began my Eachinkadu life! Somehow the tranquility and serene atmosphere together with the natural beauty of the place were a big encouragement for me to feel peaceful and to let myself be guided by the gentle touch and wisdom of “Thatha”. In those days he was for me a spiritual giant with a magical touch and all I only had to do was to try and be nice, good and obedient young fellow! ! When I had a closer look at the dwellings and the amenities that were made available to us, I found them to be just basic, simple and functional . . . I would even say “Spartan”!. Somehow we embraced the simplicity of the accommodation, the frugality of the food and beverages we received, the strict routine and the demanding activities with gusto! Ask me how and why, I have no answer? It could not all have been due to the late adolescent idealism nor the youthful enthusiasm that helped us through. Certainly the special graces and blessings that the saintly Thatha brought on all of us must have done the trick. Nothing was difficult nor were they even challenges to us then! Today I believe the prayerfulness, the sacrifices and the exemplary lives of those who went before us anointed these hallowed grounds of Eachinkadu and made it all so much easier for us. When I look back at the Eachinkadu experience my mind is filled with memories of the dedicated Brothers who interacted with us day in and day out. There was the meek and unassuming Brother Felicien who fed us, the long neck Brother Stephen of Thailand who accompanied us, Brother Baptiste whose classes every afternoon kept us from dozing off and there was Frère Maurille with his delightful “Franglais” and exemplary work ethics . . . all these magnificent men and their influential examples left indelible marks on us. These people were really great for they knew how to make us, the little people, feel great. I had come to Eachinkadu with a strong drive to imitate and emulate great Gabrielite personalities in my quest for acceptance and a sense of belongingness. But I left Eachinkadu convinced that I would have much peace if I would not busy myself with the doings and sayings of others but try my best to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Eachinkadu will always be for me more than a place in ways great and small. For here I realized that I needed to change from being a watcher of things happen and a wonderer of what happened into becoming one of those who make things happen. In Eachinkadu we were not forced to be good persons, compassionate and civilized persons, not any more than any mother would have compelled her sons to be all these things. This blessed place marked me, it engendered in me a sense of self-worth and an attitude of gratitude together with a deep desire to develop a positive regard towards others. Today as I look back, a deep sense of heartfelt gratitude to the Lord stirs up from deep within me for the “Eachinkadu Grace”. The persons, the formative experiences and the spiritual fragrance of Eachinkadu compel me to say in a sincere voice “Glory to thee, Eachinkadu”! A thankful Gabrielite, February 2012

During my first year, Bro. Antony of Padua, with whom I shared the desk, was very helpful to me. "Every evening we had an hour of manual work followed by an hour of games. During the first year, we went to Kolathur on a picnic. Bro. Antony Francisco and the other Brothers welcomed us very warmly. The statue of Our Lady dressed in saree was very impressive. During the second year we went to Honey Rock Estate. Bro. Othon received us warmly and Bro. Martin de Vertou was very happy to show us the weapons he used during the I World War. On Sundays we used to have "Culpa" accusing oneself of having broken the rule of silence, the rule of language, eating outside meals' time, etc." 30. Bro. C.M. Joseph (Bro.

Bangalore "I had two innings at Eachinkadu Novitiate: One as a novice from 1955 to „57 under Bro. Michael and the other as Socius from 1966 to 68 with Bro. Charliedarling. The first one was a pre-Vatican experience of formation in a very conservative French spirituality. Many practices and customs look amusing to-day. Still we came out with determination to live as good religious. 70% of our group have persevered so far. After a stint of 9 years in schools in Hyderabad and Lucknow in various capacities, I received a post card from the then Provincial, Bro. Stephen, on which it was scribbled, “You are appointed as Socius at Eachinkadu. Proceed immediately.” Within a week I reached Eachinkadu on 11th February 1966. That was all the preparation I had to be a formator. Bro. Charliedarling was the Novice Master and Bro. Berchmans Joseph, the Socius. I was supposed to replace Bro. Berchmans. Vatican II had just concluded, and I found the culture of the Novitiate just as it was 9 years ago when I left it. Bro. Romain Landry, the new Superior General had just visited the Novitiate before I reached there, and he had come with some new ideas. One was that the Novices should be more exposed to the outside world and the real life of the people, especially the poor, in order to serve them better. No body knew what to do or how to go about it… Since I didn‟t have much else to do there, Bro. Charliedarling told me to do something about the suggestion of the Superior General to get the Novices involved in some activities outside the Novitiate. I decided, first of all, to go round and see what was out there. Every Sunday I got a few willing Novices to accompany me to visit the various villages around. Soon we found twothree villages of the tribals, not very far from Eachinkadu. Every Sunday I took a group of Novices, went to these villages, met the people, talked to them, and inquired how we could be of help to them. Most of the Novices were willing to sacrifice their Sunday walk and join me. We managed to collect the children, organize some games, teach some songs etc. We helped the farmers in weeding, carrying stones for building houses, and helping in clearing the jungle to cultivate. We also took some sick people to the govt. hospital by arranging vehicle from Montfort School. Soon we opened another front at Yercaud Town to give free hair cuts to poor children. Thus for the first time the novices were exposed to the real world of the poor outside. It was a marked departure from our traditional novitiate where the novices were not expected to meet any body other than the Novice Master, the Socius and the Chaplain. Looking at the news papers and magazines even stealthily was forbidden as that would distract them. Bro. Berchmans had to 33

leave the Novitiate earlier than planned and I had to take full charge as Socius, bursar etc. With two groups of novices, I had to take a lot of classes. With more than 40 Novices, the Novice Master could not spare much time for classes, as he had to meet the novices regularly. I was teaching 6 periods a day along with all the other works. Though very busy, life was enjoyable. Novices were by and large very co-operative. Bro. Charliedarling was excited about the changes brought about by the Vatican II and he was open to new things. So gradually the atmosphere of the Novitiate changed from its Pre-Vatican condition. There was much openness. By the third year, Bishop Selvanather of Salem Diocese heard about the social work being done by the Novices of Eachinkadu. He thought that if one religious community could do this, why not others! He called a meeting of all the Superiors of communities in Yercaud at that time and suggested why not we pool together our efforts and do some thing more solid for the poor of Yercaud. All supported the idea. The Parish priest and I were jointly asked to be conveners to meet periodically and plan things. I was told that I was to be the Novice Master at Sitagarha and in December 1968, I must take a group of first year Novices and start the Novitiate there… Life in Eachinkadu taught me more than what I taught others. Three years of full time teaching of religious subjects was an intense learning period for me, which prepared me better for my job as Novice Master at Sitagarha. Having been brought up in an average middle class family and living for 9 years in good English medium schools, I had very little opportunity to see poverty and suffering at close quarters...When I started going to the villages and the poorest parts of Yercaud town, I began to see real poverty. I visited most of the houses of the women whom I had stopped stealing fruits. Most of them were living in hovels in utter poverty having no source of regular income… Collecting grass from morning till evening, taking it to the market and selling it for Rs. 2/= was all the income they had to support their family…What I saw and experienced in Yercaud was what inspired me to work for the poor later in the villages. I saw poverty and ignorance at a larger scale when I went to Bihar. As soon as I was freed from the Novitiate after 6 years, I decided to work for them. 31. Bro. I. Packiaraj (Bro.

"I did my novitiate under the dedicated guidance of Bro. Michael. Though he was old, his towering personality and saintly attitude of devotion and trust in the goodness in each one of us enabled us to bring out the best in us. Everyone of us learned to pray seeing him spending all his leisure time with the Lord. He trained us to develop our histrionic talents along with imbibing us with spiritual culture. He used to be present in all our activities. Before any public function or practice of group songs or plays, he spent much time in training us. I flowered because of his electrifying presence and encouragements." 2007, the Golden Jubilarians at Eachinkadu 2007, the Golden Jubilarians in Coonoor

We had a very strict and well regulated life in the novitiate. The day started with morning prayer and meditatation, very often conducted by the Novice Master. We always looked forward to the visit of Bro. Eleazar, the Provincial Superior. We always enjoyed his long talks on religious life, intermingled with a few jokes. This created a lasting effect in us. We used to go for some cooking picnics and once we went to Kolathur for an outing."

Chapter 3: History from from 1959 to 1965) In January 1959, the Provincial Council had considered the transfer of Bro. Michael as a necessity and in June it was decided that the transfer had to be done urgently. As no definite date was mentioned for the transfer, Bro. Michael suggested May 1960 or December 1959. As Bro. Michael was 81 years old and was losing memory; things were not going well in the Novitiate. Hence an earlier transfer was preferred. Just then came an invitation from Assumption College, Bangkok, asking Bro. Michael to attend the ceremonies of the Diamond Jubilee of its foundation to be held at the beginning of December 1959. Bro. Michael was keen to accept the invitation and hence it was decided that Bro. Michael would celebrate his feast at Eachinkadu and that the change over would take place soon after. On Oct. 25, along with Bro. Amance, Provincial went to the Novitiate. Bro. Stephen officially took charge as Novice Master and Bro. Amance as Socius. Bro. Michael with a broken heart and with a few tears in his eyes left Eachinkadu and came to stay at Montfort School. Yet for a few days he was a regular and frequent visitor to the Novitiate and this was rather embarrassing to the new administration. Finally he was told to discontinue these visits. He was then busy with the arrangement for his journey to Thailand. Unfortunately, while at Montfort School, Bro. Michael expired on Nov. 8, 1959. He was buried at Eachinkadu in front of Our Lady‟s statue. His contribution to the growth of the Indian Province has been great. The retreat at Eachinkadu got over on Dec. 08 1959 and on that day Bros. Simeon from India and Leonard Mary from Thailand took their first vows. On that day 34 Postulants had their vestition. 1958-60 group

A new chapel was built in Eachinkadu when we were novices."

Stephen as the Novice Master-in-waiting, Bro. John Louis (Socius) and Bro. Felician (Procurator). Also on the teaching staff were Bro. Baptist for a while, Bro. Amance and Berchmans Joseph. Postulants and Novices were from the Juniorates at Coonoor, Kazipet, Singapore and Thailand, most of them having problems with English. Bro. Stephen, assigned to succeed Bro. Thatha, was a witness to the rather unhealthy atmosphere at Eachinkadu. Indiscipline was evident." "Bro. Stephen ruled with an iron hand, he had to, considering the existing situation., A number of Novices and a few Postulants were sent home over a period of time. A tap on the shoulder while in the chapel during the monthly recollection was a sure indicator that the Montfort School car was waiting to take you to the Salem Railway Station on your way home! Novices would rush back to the dormitory after the Sunday morning walk to see which cells were empty! All in all, the general atmosphere was one of fear and suspicion. It took quite a while for the new Master to put things in order. I had a feeling that I was also among Bro. Stephen's 'hit list'! Lucky to have survived!" "Looking back at my novitiate days, one aspect conspicuous was the lack of depth in the overall formation. We were a bunch of youngsters just out of school. The two years were over even 62

before we realized what it was all about! This was, perhaps, the main reason for the huge rate of dropouts within the next five years." 63. Bro. Thomas More (M.K.

There was also Brother Amance as Socius and Bros. Berchmans and John Louis as teachers. Fr. Claude Krishnamoorthy, S. J. was our chaplain. There was also Bro. Maurille, who worked the whole day in his tools shed. Bro. Stephen was known for his strictness as well as religious discipline. He was very spiritual minded and at the same time quite watchful. He would observe each one and everything around him very attentively. He took care to give spiritual direction in great detail. If he felt that a candidate was unfit for religious life, he would send him away very quietly and make a surprise announcement in the refectory or study room at the earliest. His spiritual conferences (termed as spiritual reading in those days) were well prepared. His classes were interesting and instructive. He was very affectionate and instilled in the novices a great love for the Congregation and the Brother‟s vocation. "Bro. Amance taught us a subject called „Asceticism‟. He was a musician and he would take singing classes very regularly. Those who were not good at singing were called „fishes‟ and they had to do some light works like cleaning of chapel vessels, lamp stands, and so on, when others attended the singing classes. He wore a French beard which was a special attraction for many. When taking the class he would at times crack a joke and everyone was expected to laugh lest he showed his disappointment. In one evening class he cracked a joke which no one understood. However it was the moment when all were wanting to laugh for something else, that is, Bro. Amance‟s shadow was on the black board with his hand holding his goat‟s beard. The evening sun shining through the window had done it! His joke was very timely and everyone burst out laughing. Bro. Amance was happy thinking that his joke had its desired effect! In the refectory he also supervised the reading. Any mistake in the reading would be corrected sternly. However he also enjoyed certain mistakes in pronunciation which sounded funny. I can remember some readers feeling bad at the reading stand or even shedding tears when some strict corrections had to be faced. Bro. Amance was a very regular man and gave us the impression of being very 74

methodical in whatever he did. There was no doubt that he was very kind at heart and so no one took any serious offence at his strict corrections. "Bro. Berchmans‟ classes were interesting. He came always thoroughly prepared. Bro. John Louis, too, knew how to make his classes interesting. He was also in charge of manual work and gardening. He was a good basket ball player. Bro. Maurille was a good singer, but he was shy of anyone listening to his singing. Once in the chapel a French song was sung and Bro. joined in so loudly that some novices started laughing. When alone in the chapel he would sing loudly, but if he noticed someone come near he would stop singing. His room was in the Mountain Home a few yards away from the main building and it was at the back of the Home. He was fond of pasting lots of pictures on the wall of his room. In the room he felt happy by himself and would sing loudly. He was happy, too, if novices went to visit him in the room. In the workshop he was ever busy making wheelbarrows and gardening tools. He was regular with afternoon recreation in the company of the novices. He liked to play the indoor game „draughts‟ and he always had to win. If he lost he would be very angry with his opponent and even chase him shouting „foul‟ and „naughty boy‟! So whoever played with him always made sure that he won. He had a long venerable beard. He could manage speaking Tamil with workers and others. He had an affectionate heart and everyone liked him. "Fr. Claude Krishnamoorthy was a Jesuit and a Brahmin convert. He was very good at giving sermons. We considered him as an intellectual. His predecessor Fr. Thomas was also a dedicated chaplain who attended to all our spiritual needs. I think he left desiring to have full retirement and rest. "It was Bro. Charles Garnier, who brought our batch from Coonoor Juniorate to Eachinkadu in May 1961. I think the newly professed were leaving Eachinkadu that morning. When we entered the noviciate gate the whole lot of novices and Brothers who were there came rushing to welcome us with jubilant faces. It was a very impressive scene. We soon got used to the life in the novitiate. On the whole we had a very pleasant novitiate life. We had our vestition on 8 th December 1961. Our first profession was on 7 April 1963. We were 27 including 6 Thais. In India we are now altogether 10 (Yercaud 2, Trichy 1, Ranchi 3, Hyderabad 1, Pune 2, District of East Africa 1) and there are two in Thailand. "The vestition was a great event. All the parents and close relatives of the new novices would attend it. On that day we had a big crowd and I remember the chapel was full and so was the refectory. We had group photos with family taken in front of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Every day we enjoyed a game of basket ball or volleyball. It had a specifically refreshing effect on us. As a result at the evening classes and prayers we were perfectly fresh and relaxed. The estate had various types of fruits, especially oranges, guavas, bull‟s heart, jack fruits, and pappiyas. We enjoyed eating these fruits quite often. Eachinkadu was indeed a real paradise!" 80. Bro. Jose Varghese (K.V.

Bro. Stephen was a good Novice Master. I learned to respect and love him. In later years when he became a wandering Sanyasi in the style of our Founder St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort I began to venerate, respect and love him all the more." "I was teaching English in XI and IX Classes and Social Studies, Catechism and Moral Science in Tamil Medium in the high school classes in St. James HS Palakurichi... I was the Spiritual Director for the Junior Legion of Mary for boys and girls separately… I kept contacts with the Catholic families in the village which I continue even to this day almost 50 years later." "I was then posted to the staff of Eachinkadu Novitiate as Assistant to Bro. Charles Garnier, Novice Master… I was asked to be responsible for the programme of „Continued Religious Studies for the Junior Brothers‟. Besides conducting the usual „Religious Studies Examination‟, I also conducted a ten days „Seminar on the Holy Trinity‟ at St. Anthony's High School, Coonoor, during May 1971… As the Bangladesh Refugees poured into India in 1971, I was permitted to go to the refugee camps for a month in December 1971. On returning I was invited to share about the experience with other groups including the Salem Diocesan Clergy during their Monthly Recollection by Bishop Selvanather."

"From 1974-77, I was the Director of CRI Bros' Institute, Bangalore and part-time member of YCS National team. It was a challenging mission that opened me up to wider experiences. I tried to organise Y.C.S. in Bangalore and Hyderabad schools... The new building for the Institute started in January 1975, was completed and blessed and opened for use in November 1976." "During 1982-86, I had to learn 8 new languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin, Arabic, besides the modern languages Italian, French and German, to various levels. During these years I also completed the required Biblical courses. Thus I successfully qualified to receive the „Licentiate in Sacred Scripture‟ Degree in June 1986." "On return to India in July 1986, I was appointed Principal of C.R.I. Brothers‟ Institute, Bangalore, incharge of the academic programme… Due to problems of discipline, I resigned as Principal while I was willing to continue teaching. So I was appointed as Visiting Professor, while I was sent as a member of the Montfort Bhavan community, Hyderabad. As Visiting Professor, I began to teach Sacred Scripture at C.R.I. Brothers' Institute, as also at Kristu Jyoti College, Dharmaram College, NBCLC, National Biblical Centre and Sudeep Training Institute, Bangalore. I also taught at St. John‟s Regional Seminary, Hyderabad and Jeevan Jyoti Institute, Hyderabad." "From 1990 to 1993, I was invited to join the team working for the publication of a new Bible with Commentary¸ THE NEW COMMUNITY BIBLE, by St. Paul‟s Publications, Mumbai. I was invited to check the text and write Commentary for the „Book of Isaiah‟. This work I completed by May 1993." "I returned to Rome in October 1993 to begin my Doctoral studies... I was elected President of the „Indian Priests and Sisters Union, Rome‟… I decided to work on the theme „Book of Wisdom 6:22-10:21‟. As our Founder Saint Louis Mary de Montfort in his book, Love of the Wisdom quotes these texts almost verbatim, I wanted my study to form a Biblical basis for the Wisdom Spirituality of the Montfortian Family... I worked with the usual ups and downs of Doctoral studies, including a major upset towards the end of the fourth year, when I wanted to quit. But the Moderators encouraged me to carry on and complete the work, appreciating the enormous good work I had done. During the Summer Vacations I went to Germany in 1994 and 1995 and to France in 1996 to improve my knowledge of the German and the French language as quite a lot of the bibliography was in these languages, besides English and Italian. Also each year, I took a month off to visit the countries of Western Europe. Thus I had the privileged chance leisurely to visit Ireland, England, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria besides of course France, East and West Germany and Italy itself." "The Indian National Council had asked me to conduct a month‟s preparation programme in Divya Deepti, Kazipet, for the Montfortian Pilgrimage Group for 1998. Also, the Superior General, Bro. Jean Friant, asked me to be the Brother Resource Person at the „Montfortian Congress for English-speaking Africa‟ at Mangochi, Malawi, on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the Canonization of our Founder St. Louis Mary de Montfort. I conducted the Preparatory session for the Montfortian Pilgrimage Group at Kazipet during April 1998. Immediately after that I went to give talks at the „Montfortian Congress for English-speaking Africa‟ in Malawi."

"Then I had to rush back to Rome as the University had fixed my Doctoral Defense on the 4 th June 1998. I successfully defended my thesis on the theme, THE BOOK OF WISDOM 6:2210:21, AN ENCOMIUM OF WISDOM AND ITS INCULTURATION IN THE INDIAN WISDOM TRADITION and was awarded the DOCTOR IN THEOLOGIA Degree with MAGNA CUM LAUDE Grade, subject to publishing the thesis with the revisions and emendations proposed. As I did not have the funds to publish the whole thesis, I published an Extract of 145 pages, submitted 100 copies to the University as per requirements, obtained the Provisional Certificate and returned to Hyderabad on 23 July 1998. "On returning to India, the Extract was reviewed by: 1. Prof. Joseph Pathrapankal for Journal of Dharma 2. Anthony R. Ceresko, O.S.F.S. for Indian Theological Studies and 3. Rui de Menezes, S.J. for Jnanadeepa. All the three Reviewing scholars were positively appreciative and recommended the publishing of the entire thesis with necessary editing." "Returning to India on 23 July 1998, I continued Scripture teaching in the various Theological Faculties, Seminaries and Religious Novitiates in India, specially our Novitiates at Yercaud and Sitagarha… The Andhra Pradesh Bishops Conference Bible Commission had undertaken to revise the Telugu Bible. I was invited to join the team along with my teaching work. The Revised TELUGU BIBLE was released during the meeting of the A.P. Bishops Conference in March 2010. In it among the names of the Collaborators, the Secretary, Fr. Kunduru Joji, s.j. was kind enough to mention my name first, being the only Religious Brother and being the seniormost. In the Revised Telugu Bible, I am the Revision Editor for the Wisdom Books of Job, Proverbs, Qoheleth, Song of Songs, Wisdom, Sirach and Exodus." "The NEW COMMUNITY BIBLE in English started in the early 1990s, was finalized and finally published by the Society of St. Paul‟s, Mumbai, on June 28, 2008, at the beginning of the Pauline Year. It was welcomed with joy by the vast majority of Catholics in India… In it I am the Collaborator for the very important Book of ISAIAH, the work I had completed in the early 1990s before I left for my Doctoral studies in 1993. Thus, for the first time in the history of the Church and of our Congregation, by God‟s grace and thanks to the opportunities given to me by our Congregation and Superiors, I, a Montfort Brother, am blessed to be a Collaborator of TWO BIBLES." "In the Dictionary on Montfortian Spirituality, 'Jesus living in Mary' I am the author of the article on the „PSALMS‟… I am the Editor of the Province Newsletter HYDERABAD OUTLOOK since 2006. I have also been involved in guiding for over 10 years Mr. Kamalakar Ponnapalli, a Hindu producer from Hyderabad, to produce a 90 minute feature film entitled „OUR LADY OF LOURDES‟." 88. Bro.

Co-authored English Text Books for Stds I to III "Bro. Stephen was our Novice Master, assisted by Bros. Amance, John Louis, and Berchmans Joseph. There were two dormitories as the number was large. The demolished chapel was a place of consolation and comfort for me. The estate on the eastern part of the campus was rich enough to produce fruits for all of us. The poultry yard at Montfort Home gave enough eggs and chicken for our weekly special meals. Fr. Paul from Pondicherry (during first year) and Fr. Claude Krishnamorthy (during the second year) were the spiritual fathers. Our group was largely instrumental in removing and transporting the soil from the place where we have the present bathing and washing space and filling the low lying area near the Chapel. Thus, we prepared the place for Basketball courts. "These two years were for me, years of peace, joy and gave a sense of life, living closely with God. The 30 days of preparation for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady on the 8th Dec 1962, was the most memorable one. In fact that set the tone and tenure for a happy novitiate. The novice master played a vital role for my decision to be a Brother of St. Gabriel. It was he who tested me severely and toughened my disposition for a meaningful religious life. Once, for not making the sign of the cross properly in the refectory, he publicly asked me to hold the plate in my hand and kneel down and eat. When I wanted to learn music (harmonium) he asked me to spend that time by trimming the hedges that adorn the entrance of the novitiate. When my elder brother visited me, I had some pimples on my cheeks. So he went upto Yercaud town and brought me a tin of Ponds powder and a small bottle of Ponds cream. Like an exemplary novice I took them to my novice master, Bro.Stephen, to get permission for using these cosmetics. “You want to use powder and cream!!” so saying he called the head cook Mr. Raman who was rather dark in complexion and asked him to take those two cosmetics for his wife‟s use. Recalling all these I have a hearty laugh now, but, only a few of us can understand the pain I could have experienced then. All the same I accepted. 90

"Bro. Stephen, my Novice Master, was appointed Provincial Superior in 1965. I was at Santhome community studying Printing Technology. During his canonical visit he came to know that I was going to the present Bharathi Women‟s College for the printing course (at that time it was a Poly Technique College), at the northern end of present Broadway. He told me to stop studying Printing Technology and go to St.Louis Institute, Adyar and teach the deaf children. I was teaching the deaf children Mathematics and Science from Dec 1965 to May 1966 (6 months). At the end of the year (1966) he asked me to go to Loyola College for my higher studies. In those days going to Loyola College for higher studies was a prestige. Incidentally I was the only one in my group to be sent to Loyola College. I consider this as God‟s intervention through my novice master, who was appointed as Provincial Superior. "We were more than 25 to begin the novitiate but First Profession was professed by 24 men. (2 Thai and 22 Indians). As on date we are 11 (1 Thai and 10 Indians (Trichy 2, Yercaud 2, Pune 3, Hyderabad 1and Ranchi 2). Candidly speaking, one experiences God‟s special grace. I had a unique grace of understanding the true devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary as enunciated by St. Montfort, our founder. God‟s design and his plan were very clearly made known. It was a special protection and guidance that I have survived these 48 years as a Montfort Brother of St. Gabriel. I do thank all the Brothers, the companions and workers who gave the joy of a brotherly life and God for his enlightenment."

"Personal impressions: #1964-66 was a transition period in the Church and for religious life. So it had its influence on our formation as well. #We had Bro. Stephen as Master of Novices during the first year and Bro. Charles Garnier during the second year. Their nature, outlook and perceptions were quite different. #The time spent during the above period in the Novitiate was tough but it definitely gave us a good perception of ourselves, our Congregation, Charism of our Founder, religious life and God. #It is in the Novitiate that I learnt that giving is more joyous than receiving whereby I began to grow into maturity. This was a great eye opener for me. #I still recall and cherish the time I spent in the Novitiate in spite of the many limitations it had when I look back." 115. Bro. Jose Nirapel (P.J.

2010-11: Administrator, CRI Bros' Institute, Bangalore 2011- --: Construction in charge of the Provincial House, Pune "My life experience in the novitiate at Eachinkadu is ever green in my mind, the reason being the prayer atmosphere in an environment conducive for the same. A prayer culture was created. Here I learned how to pray with the help of Novice Master and the other brothers with me. This is one thing I can never forget. This is the first thought that comes to me whenever I hear or think of Eachinkadu. During our two years Novitiate life, during the 1st year Bro. Stephen and during the second Bro. Charles were in charge, both insisted on prayer life. Also the silent work experience I really enjoyed. Bros. Berchmas Joseph, C.M.Joseph and Stanislaus from Thailand contributed a lot to our growth.

Conducted several Seminars/Workshops for Teachers/Principals/Senior Students My personal impressions: "I have only pleasant memories. The ambiance was excellent for speninding the time in study, reflection and prayer. We are privileged to have two Novice Masters, Bros. Stephen and Charlie Darling, both with totally different type of personalities, but in one sense complementary. Though we had our seniors and juniors from all the four Juniorates of Coonoor, Kazipet, Noatoli and Thailand, our batch for some reason had only juniors from Coonoor and Noatoli. I personally feel that interaction with people of different backgrounds at the Novitiate has its own positive elements in terms of laying a strong foundation for living in communities because religious life is basically a life lived in communities. The opportunities we had to interact with the Brothers, staff and students of Montfort School, Yercaud, during our novitiate days were also quite educative and enriching, in terms of our future mission as educators.". 118.

With Cardinal Sin of Manila

On graduation day At A.S.I., Manila

"The incidents I can recall with nostalgia of my novitiate days at Eachinkadu are: 1. The day of my vestition on Dec. 06, 1966, when we were clad in immaculate white cassock and the only occasion when my father was present at Eachinkadu. 2. The stay of late Bro. John of God in the summer of 1967 at Eachinkadu and his inspiring spiritual readings and my personal encounter with him in front of Fatima statue and his encouraging words to me on temptation of a teenager. 3. Bro. Charlie Darling, my Novice Master, giving spiritual readings and conducting choir classes with his melodious voice and dancing postures - an affectionate person at heart." 139. Bro. N.F.

John of God. Bro. Charles Garnier, who was appointed the novice master the previous year in the place of Bro. Stephen, was away attending a refresher course. One thing that I heard the new novices talk about in appreciation was the inspiring talks that Bro. John of God gave us every evening. By the time Bro. Charles returned we had acclimatized ourselves and got familiarized with the novitiate situation. The senior novices and the juniors together we were some sixty in number. The novitiate staff consisted of Bro. Charles Garnier, the novice master, Bro. CM Joseph, the socius, Bro. Michael Thinaratana, Bro. Felician, Bro. Maurille, and the Chaplain. The novice master, highly spiritual and prayerful that he was, was very much respected by the novices. The socius was a strict disciplinarian. Bro. Thinaratna taught Church History and singing. Bro. Felician looked after our food requirements. Bro. Maurille provided garden implements. 124

The spiritual aspect of our novitiate consisted in deepening our prayer life and gaining wider religious and theological understanding. The physical aspect consisted in caring for the home and property. The novices very enthusiastically carried all the stones from the neighbouring estate for the building of the water tank for which Bro. Charles had got some help from outside. When the fruit trees bore fruits, the novices took turns to guard them against thieves, come rain or sunshine. Picking coffee berries was another interesting activity. Regular games of basket ball, volleyball and table tennis kept us healthy. We developed certain social service interests by visiting poor localities and rendering whatever service we could to the people there. Complete involvement in the novitiate programme kept us fully busy and the two years passed without us realizing the length of time. At the end of this period, we were 29 novices, 27 from India and 2 from Thailand, to take our First Vows." 140. Bro.

Bro. Charles was our Novice Master, Bro. C.M. Joseph Socius and Bro. Crescentius to help. Bro. Felician looked after the food… It was our batch that was split into two to start another novitiate at Sitagarh. I was not selected among the 20 and I did my novitiate at Eachinkadu. Once again we came together at Tindivanam in 1970 for the Post Novitiate and then we were 41 in all. "When Bro. C.M. Joseph left for Sitagarh, Bro. Augustine Novello joined the staff. Bro. Charles himself taught us music. His hand-writing was unique and everyone followed him… Brothers taught us the catechism of the vows, asceticism, life of St. Montfort, etc. They also taught us English. It was their life and personal guidance that really moulded us more than anything else… Then came the tail end of our novitiate and we were asked about our requirements. All that I asked was a set of kakhi shorts and a shirt, since that would be used in the P.N., Tindi and so it was." 130

Thanks to EVERYONE who had contributed for this wonderful LIVING EXPERIENCE. Many of the members of our group are longing to relive this experience. Will it be possible is the question? When I share my experiences it‟s always related to individuals whom I encountered and related with. So I need to mention a few persons and how those persons affected me as an individual and may be as a group. "We were from five provinces North, Centre and South in India, Singapore Malaysia and Thailand. Paul Kado from Fiji also was with us for a few months. This combination was a wonderful mix and we could live the International character of our congregation. May be this was a prelude to our future missionary lives? In the prayer life, day today activities, the

159

extracurricular activities we were all involved and the international mix gave a wonderful combination. Our group really excelled in music, sports, cultural activities, etc. "Bro. Joseph John … a Brother who preached aloud in Action: Brother Joseph John was our socious and the model that he lived was GREAT in various aspects. He helped us to become real leaders in down-to-earth practical things like rain water harvest, renewable energy, creating selfsufficiency models in making the coffee estates produce to help the novitiate, friend of the poor, friend of the environment, net working with other organizations for the cause of the poor like SSGY etc. To understand the situation on the ground and be challenged to take concrete steps towards the poor and also we were exposed to situation which called for prophetic actions towards realizing the liberation of the oppressed, empowerment of the poor. "Bro. Jacob Ezhanikat helped us to know ourselves, empowerment of self. As an able psychologist he gave individual attention to novices and guided them. What I still remember are the classes on the rule of life and how each article is directly related to the Gospel and its significations. The novitiate was a JOYFUL experience… "Bro. Felician cannot be forgotten that easily. Even now I picture him on the top of the roofs repairing them and tying wire mesh on the toilet outlets to control the mosquitos. He was a GREAT man in his SIMPLICITY. Brother Charlie Daring‟s charismatic retreat is still fresh in my mind. How can one forget “Everyone a brother (3) in the lord! The song that we loved to sing together. Brother Emanuel‟s (Singapore) singing and animation like the song “know you not … know you not you are the temple!” With the hands on his belly made him popular among the novices. "The exposure to the inculturation also helped me in my prayer life… the „mantra‟s‟ that I learned are still used in my daily prayers. Many of us who made this two years programme together still keep in touch with now and then. It‟s a great support of belonging and friendship something more than what the school mates have. I am proud of our group and I thank the Lord for the wonderful Formators, The excellent Environment, the GREAT opportunities created for learning, living experiences, the different group works that we were involved, the missions as novices for the poor of Yercaud, The inner journey that we were guided to make are some of the experiences which cannot be easily expressed in human words. The two years oriented me towards a vertical and horizontal dimensions of my life. The love of God and the love of neighbour are just like the two sides of the coin. How could we love God and our neighbours, while we live in a society that is plagued by poverty, injustice, corruption, unemployment, ignorance, crimes etc. Eachinkadu‟s training helped me to understand the responsibility in transforming the societies from less humane to a more humane. To work along with the people in trying to bring some of their basic rights back to them." 189. Bro. S.

I enjoyed my two years in Eachinkadu as a novice and the two years as the Novice Master. More than the work I was entrusted with as a novice and as a novice master what I enjoyed at Eachinkadu was the calm and serene atmosphere and the prayers I offered to God. The most memorable experiences I am able to recount are the charismatic prayer experiences in the old parlour animated by Bro. Charlie Darling for 10 days and the individual prayer experiences I had in the Eachinkadu old chapel and in my personal cubicle in the dormitory. The experience of fraternal life was very powerful. We, almost 41 of us, jelled well as a group and Bro. Jacob Ezhanikatt, the novice master, contributed greatly for the psychological growth of the entire group. Bro. Joseph John, our socius of revered memory, built up our physique by making us work for days and weeks. He made all of us very tough physically and mentally. I have only fond, rich, beautiful and healthy memories of my novitiate life from 1979-1981 and life as a novice master from 1999-2001. I thank God for this beautiful place with all its surroundings. May Eachinkadu continue to nurture young men Montfortian Gabrielite way of life. God bless Eachinkadu!" 191. Bro.

"Eachinkadu was a heaven and a paradise to me, as it was surrounded by forest, coffee estates, fruit trees and more over pollution free. I enjoyed the roaring of bizons, chirping of birds, manual works and times spent in meditation and prayer. They gave me the opportunity to experience and enjoy the creation of God. A sense of acesticism was cultivated in me. Brothers looked after us well and guided us in the proper way and helped us grow spiritually, mentally and physically. I am grateful to all those who taught us in the novitiate and to all the domestic helpers." 232. Bro. S.

School, Aizawl "Memories of Eachinkadu novitiate flash as a calm and serene place. We were 18. I expected the novitiate life to be very rigid with very pious activities and behavioral patterns. Not having gone through the Juniorate system, I expected the life would be difficult. But what eventually turned out was that we were molded to be more human rather than being just pious. Prayers, studies, classes, manual work, picking coffee berries, games, competitions, celebrations - all became part of the life. This was one span where I gained the foothold on Brotherhood. In fact, this was the time that I realized that Brotherhood is a very unique way of life and is going to be a uphill task as a "Brother". Life has always thrown in challenges as a Brother especially in the church circles where it is predominantly clergy dominated. Yet I realize that being a "Brother of all" (human beings and nature) is a unique call and a constant challenge to make this world a better place for you and for me." 235. Bro. K.P.
