Hello All: Sound advice indeed, Doctor Lawrence, especially as a New Year Resolution :-) There are some contrary views, though, on PSA tests. Speaking of sticking the finger UP, so as to get us in the end, I received this humourous anecdote, on December 25, which is quite apropos: Just in case you were considering a new career. Things you should be aware of First-year students at medical school were receiving their first anatomy class with the body of a deceased man. They all gathered around the surgery table where lay the cadaver, covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, In medicine, it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor. The first is that you must not be disgusted by anything involving the human body. To prove his point, the professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the corpse, withdrew it, and stuck it in his mouth. Go ahead and do the same thing, he told his students. The students freaked out, and after a few minutes of hesitation, took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead body and sucking on it. When everyone finished, the professor looked at them and told them, The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger.

Mother Teresa's Secret Motivation According to Postulator of Her Cause of Beatification ROME, DEC. 20, 2002 (Zenit.org).- What was Mother Teresa of Calcutta's secret? Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, postulator of her cause of beatification, answers simply: She was a woman totally in love with Jesus. The publication of the decree of recognition of a miracle attributed to the intercession of the religious (1910-1997) opens the doors to her beatification. Father Kolodiejchuk, one of the three men who began the priestly branch of the Missionaries of Charity, talked with ZENIT about some of the aspects of her person which have emerged at the conclusion of extensive research that fills 80 volumes. Q: Mother Teresa impressed the world by her dedication to the poorest of the poor. How was it possible for a frail woman to go out into the streets of Calcutta and the world to cure the sores of lepers and caress the pariahs of modern societies? Father Kolodiejchuk: I think the key to her life is, precisely, the fact that she was a woman totally in love with Jesus. We have found writings of her youth in which she said that Jesus was her first love. She spoke as a girl who was in love. For her, her dedication to the neediest, to the poorest of the poor, was the response to a call. Even in moments of darkness, she was convinced that it was an authentic call from Jesus. She was convinced of that phrase that she often repeated: God's work. She felt like God's pen, his instrument. Q: Every beatification is a message for the world. What is the message the Church is giving in announcing Mother Teresa's beatification? Father Kolodiejchuk: Her central message is love: toward God, not just toward her neighbor. At the time that she felt the call to found the congregation of the Missionaries of Charity, she experienced a harsh interior trial; it was a spiritual experience in which she did not feel consolation. However, also in these times of trial, it was love that led her to respond to her mission. On one occasion, in giving her public recognition, India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi said these words more or less: In this world of today, so frenetic, it is easy to forget the most essential things. Mother Teresa teaches us that love is what is most essential. At the same time, her life is full of examples of love for others, not just for the poor, but also for all persons whom she met: the sister Missionaries of Charity, the people who visited her. In reality, Mother Teresa leaves us the message to do ordinary things with extraordinary love. When she spoke to the people she met, she said that this attitude should not just be lived with the poor: one must begin by loving the members of one's family, who are in need of a word of encouragement. One must begin by loving someone one knows who might be in need of a letter, one must begin to love by giving a smile to the needy. However, we have been able to see how faith is also one of her characteristic virtues, because otherwise one cannot love in that way, from morning till night, sleeping three or four hours at night, giving herself each day of her life to the neediest. Q: What has been the greatest challenge of the process of beatification? Father Kolodiejchuk: There were two particularly difficult tasks. The first, to collect or find all the available information, because it meant collecting material, testimonies, facts coming from people all over the world. In the process, we have compiled more than 8,000 documents, 80 volumes of documentation with testimonies and writings. In the process, there have been testimonies of 113 persons on her life, virtue and fame for holiness. However, hundreds of other people, being unable to travel, have sent their testimony. We have not been satisfied to do only the indispensable work. We have done much more than the minimum, because

Re: [Goanet] How time flies...Those were the days! VIVA GOANET
In a message dated 08/26/2002 8:55:06 AM EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Those were the days welcoming me to the list (we since lost this tradition in between, of formally welcoming new members)...We were first thrilled to get to know each other, and overawed that so much could be achieved by communicating with unknown others over such a distance As one likes to argue, places like GoaNet can be the 'cyber-kudds' of the 21st century. Just as an earlier generation of Goans set up places for Goans to stay in the hostile environments of a new city (Bombay), we need to build networks that are mutually beneficial, linking people in cyber terms, across the globe, wherever they might have migrated to. GoaNet can and is playing such a role. Other mailing lists too have a role to play; but unfortunately we all (me too) at times get subsumed in our rivalry and egos and this blocks the potential good that could come from such networking. Over to the others. Let's hear from them. Criticism welcome... this is critical if we are to improve. FN Dear Fred and Fellow GoaNetters: On this seventh day of the eight anniversary of Goanet, I congratulate and offer my KUDOS to those who first had the vision and all who have diligently persevered in making this Goanet, the Originale List, everything that it truly is! Shabash! Goanet was my first exposure to a Cyber-List and despite the initial aggravation from a few braggarts, I felt a real sense of belonging. I was asked to introduce myself, which I did, and the bonding began. And it has continued unabated, to our mutual benefit. It was refreshing to see a recent August 17 Welcome to a new member from Nashik -- Fr. Augustine Silveira, S. J., and I wish this healthy trend continues. Would recommend that this be a prerequisite before future members are subscribed, in order to ensure transparency. In re other mailing lists, they all can and have a role to play, PROVIDED, they mind their own business. However, when they assume an adversary role or resort to snooping and scooping Goanet posts and bashing Goanetters, unbeknownst to them behind their backs, they become worst than goons and are a bane to our Goan society. I will respect this August occasion and save the gory details for a later posting. Such vicious people or list coordinators should be expunged from the Goanet List so that Netters are encouraged to post freely, without being criticized on other forums, just for kicks. The following statement on an Open list is revealing: PROVE THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY OWNER . OR CONFESS THAT SINCE YOU DO NOT HAVE MANY SUBSCRIBERS YOU INFILTRATE ON OTHER NETS WITH YOUR SUBSTANDARD WARES Goanet's Admin. or A-Team, deserves special mention. Attempts were made to replicate it elsewhere but failed miserably due to lack of genuine interest in its role. You have unjustly taken the rap for Goanet, through your steadfastness and pure grit. Keep up the good work. On the question of women's voices not heard being much, haven't we all witnessed the way men gang up and start banging and clanging upon them? And, IMHO, action came only after it was too late and the damage already done to their psyche. What is needed is a clear delineation of Goanet's Rules and monthly reminders thereof so that people are always en garde and learn to treat women with the utmost dignity. We have all learned from our mothers and should respect the sixth sense women are endowed with :-) Let us all begin by introducing ourselves, starting with the pioneer Aug. 25, 1994, Group and going down memory lane. It would help if Goanet published a monthly roster of names or other available grouping of names so that a true sense of camaraderie can be fostered, voluntarily. A suggested format would be of great help! I saw an interesting open-end poll months ago on Goanet's YahooGroups Site as to how many Netters were actually in Goa or outside Goa and was one of three respondents. Isn't it time to close that poll and possibly use it for better purposes? More to follow, but in the meantime let us all pat ourselves on the back for being an active and integral part of Goanet Originale and not one of those clones like 2, 3, 4, et cetera. Also, let us resolve to be loyal to Goanet, the mother of all Goan Lists, and help in its steady growth. Together we can make it happen. It has definitely helped me to a great extent, on which I will elaborate in greater detail when my turn for introduction comes up. In the meantime, best wishes to you all.

[Goanet] goannonresidents group -- Yahoogroups
Dear GoaNetters: Early this month, during one of my idle moments, I stumbled upon the subject goannonresident group Yahoo! Groups site and signed up online as the sixth member of the goannonresidents Yahoogroups on July 3, 2002: This is a group for Goans who are not resident in Goa or worldwide Goans to discuss Goan issues and perhaps to help some Goans living in Goa to get a job abroad if possible.

I am sorry for holding you'll captive in the silly drama played out during the first two weeks of July and provide the above background information so that all you intelligent Netters may come to a just conclusion based upon informed facts. Following this e-mail is a sequence of postings and the baseless escalation by dubitable Moderator(s). The most unfortunate part of this entire episode, is the skillful and sly carpet-bagging by some loudmouths from other goon forums. They revel in selectively splicing remarks from Goanet or other posts, and routinely playing out their games against others -- thus denigrating and slandering people behind their backs :( It is a pity that rival groups are permitted to snoop, exploit and blemish the reputation of people who post on Goanet, etc., with impunity. They selectively scoop saucy bits and pieces and cross-post disparagingly :( These despicable practices are a source of disdain for people from other forums who just cannot mind their own business and learn to live and let live.

Re: [Goanet] Cip's Mother Teresa quote Missionaries
In a message dated 05/23/2002 4:12:35 PM EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I believe that the below mentioned Mother Teresa's words are more than a quote. She has practiced before she preached. One of the writer on Mother Teresa said Mother Teresa did not say or write any 'word' which she did not mean Dear Joel, Cip and All: With the imminent Sainthood of Mother Teresa, there is a lot each one of us can do to learn and try to emulate her. The following article from February 2002 FMA (Franciscan Missionary Associates) Focus, entitled Mother Teresa on the Road to Sainthood, is apropos: Long before her death in this world, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was hailed as a living saint, even in areas where Christian missionaries were not always welcome. It is clear from her expressions, from her conversations, from her writings, that Mother Teresa found such accolades embarrassing, perhaps and even somewhat ironic. For in her early years as a religious with vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, Mother Teresa was just like any other religious sister, giving her life to God through prayer and good works... trying hard to discern God's will... dealing with the conflicts created when a religious is called to a mission that is new and different. For like many religious community founders, Mother Teresa had to leave her own original religious congregation, stepping out into what must have seemed like an uncharted path, lit by the presence of the Holy Spirit. She founded the Missionaries of Charity, a new community dedicated to the work to which the tiny sister felt called by God -- working with the helpless and abandoned, the lonely dying, those whom society wanted to forge, in the streets of India. Eventually, that work would bring Mother Teresa and her sisters to nearly every part of the world where God's poor were abandoned and alone -- even to the crowded streets of Rome's poorest areas and New York City. Eventually, Mother Teresa's community would include branches for contemplatives, for brothers as well as sisters, and for thousands of laity who found purpose to their lives as volunteers. And for a world caught up in consumerism, Mother Teresa redefined poverty, to include missions who lived with plenty, but who are so often empty inside, even abandoned living in the midst of a crowd. A very big job for a very tiny lady. We do not have to go to the heart of Calcutta in order to help the needy or to pray for the abandoned. We can support such efforts with our alms and prayers and good works. We can do it whatever way is possible for us. There is one certain way we can take part in this work of the Gospel that Mother Teresa carried out so well -- we can speak kindly of the thousands of missionaries at work, just as Mother Teresa was, all over the world. And we can pray for them daily. --- Best Wishes: Pat =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet === For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?

There is no point in trying to twist Ash's poignant prophesy for any generalizations. Religion (from 'religare') is designed to bind us back from jungle rule. IMHO, without religion, Goans would fit the computer prompt of Goons :( Speak for yourself if you like. To generalise with all Goans is to insult their sensibilities terribly. Additionally, please note that the North West of Pakistan actually follows organised religion to the T and are famous for jungle rule or tribal law. Incidentally it is believed that the evil one - Osama is currently in hiding there. And the current barbarism we see emanating out of Pakistan is also a product of organised religion. And Buddha actually went to the jungles to meditate and get enlightened. If all were like Buddha then violence would not have any place in the world.so jungles are not that bad after all. :-) And don't forget that it is in the name of organised religion that the the Church murdered millions and rendered thousands homeless in their quest to convert Goans to Christianity. And it is the efforts of the VHP to actually make Hinduism into an organised religion which is resulting in the current Hindu militancy and violence. And how can I forget to mention the current ogre of Islamic terrorism...I won't bother with details. Incidentally if you think religion made anyone civilized there is enough proof to link it with the worst barbarism in the world. It is education, culture, human values, and society which makes one civilised. Simply going to a church or temple and following priests blindly (even though they may be paedophiles or drug addicts) does not make one civilized or get one out of the jungle mentality. In fact, it is the other way round. If you actually look at the custodians of organised religion you will find a whole horde of perverts ranging from paedophiles and child/female abusers to drug addicts to violence recommenders to revenge

But, it has certainly opened our eyes to see clearly what the BJP party can provide this country with. While the whole world is progressing in various fields, our country is sinking deeper into political quicksand and crawls on its fours over religious issues. Very sound advice to the astute and those with discerning minds :-) Yet some people with vested interests will blindly keep drumming up their support in a wild and desperate attempt to hoodwink all Goans :( It remind us of those three blind persons who felt different parts of the elephant and came up totally divergent views. The latest truncated view -- just because some good came out lately from the BJP -- that all will be hunky-dory dory, is fatalistic. We all know how politicians and sexual perverts entice people with their little bags of goodies, only to later to reveal the real big cork screw. Goans should awaken to the clarion call from minarets to pulpits, Balcaos to Cyberia and be aware of wolves who prey in sheep's clothing. Surely nobody would like to retrograde to the dark old ages, reminiscent of jungle rule :( As Rene said in the following post: Let's not make GOA another Gujarat. The next message from our enlightened Aires said it all: Parrikar is desperately trying all stunts to try and woo voters to salvage the sinking BJP shipParrikar who is fighting a battle for his survival. is offering all sorts of carrots to buy the minorities. Joe Vaz's May 7 posting: 'YOUR ACTION CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE,' was most apropos and an early wake-up or clarion call :-) My response somehow did not post. The writing is on the wall, even though one may have to read in between the lines.

It might help people to answer if they knew EXACTLY what you mean. Viv (definitely FOR religion) Hi VivIiana: Thanks for your vote, Viv :-) It was the first, in hopefully many more to follow, FOR RELIGION votes. Of course, mine is the second FOR! My American Heritage Dictionary defines 'religion' as: 1. expression of (wo)man's belief in and reverence for a superhuman power recognized as the creator and governor of the universe. 2. Any particular integrated system of this expression: the Hindu religion. 3. The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognizes the existence of a superhuman power or powers As I see it, religion is the ladder, link or stairway to God, deities or power-source. For anyone believing in God, religion serves as the channel or medium for devotion and discipline. In contrast with no religion, or if all in India gave up their religion, as was last advocated, there would be total anarchy and chaos. We'd be like a bunch of sheep without a shepherd -- left to the mercy of vultures and wolverines. PLEASE VOTE -- on GOANET by May 31, and at the polls for GOA ELECTIONS!

Re: [Goanet] Old Wedding Customs ....BIKAREANCHEM JEVONN...IV

Nascimento: Your recordation of such historical facts is truly a tribute and honour to our Proud Goan Heritage :-) We have vivid memories of a similar ceremony in Karachi, on the actual Wedding Day, when the married Goan couple would go outside with a bottle of fine Scotch Whiskey or other liquor. The bottle would then be broken in the compound, as I understood, to appease the souls of their beloved dead. We too followed it. Your labour of love in documenting these customs definitely helps develop a keen awareness, especially among some who have lost touch with reality, of these rich and noble traditions. Our colourful heritage is fraught with rich and noble sentiments! I couldn't but shudder when a local priest in our parish dared preach from the pulpit about the antiquity of feeding the beggars. He expressed doubts if anyone these days would condescend to such customs. Ah, the difference between East and West :( Back in Karachi, Thursdays (Juma-raat), or the night before Friday, beggars would converge around shops and homes. And yes, many of them were treated by honest locals to similar bikareanchem jevonn :-) Many thanks, Fr. Nascimento, for these inspirational postings. We will pray for your good health. Blessings.

Re: [Goanet] LOOKING FORWARD ------- ANCESTRAL HOME REMEDIES
In a message dated 04/21/2002 6:39:43 AM EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Pat and Sunila aroused my interest regarding ancestral home remedies...Do keep those home remedies trickling in. Thanks for those interesting responses :-) I remember the dousing of onion juice on the head for colds or fever, and coppa (or cupping) for stomach pain. The latter is used in modern medicine for drawing blood toward or through the surface. Although they may not be considered as home remedies, certain practices also come to my mind. There was this young son of a medical practitioner in Goa, who got surprise visits from patients at their home when the father was out. They would bribe him with candies, etc., just to stomp on their backs for his curative powers. His was a breech presentation, and they didn't want the father to know because he disapproved of it. In Karachi, several friends and relatives visited our home for the very same reason. I was asked to stroke their backs, etc., with my foot (which I did whilst reciting a prayer) and they'd leave feeling instant relief from their aches or pains :-) I am curious if anyone has similar or other experiences and if there is any ascribable reason for their relief. Santosh usually offers valuable insight on such matters :-) Best Wishes: Pat de Sousa =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet === For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?

[Goanet] LOOKING FORWARD ------- ANCESTRAL HOME REMEDIES

(My personal view is that ... But, everything cannot and should not be evaluated in terms of profitability. if it is not done by someone, how do we expect to get the job done? A society that cannot generate ideas needed to take it forward, is a society enslaved...) Dear GoaNetters: After all that has been said and done, I like the way Fred has chosen to fling down the gauntlet and hope we can all resolve to look forward in a positive way. The first responsibility naturally falls upon the Goanet Admin. Team to establish the broad parameters for operation. IMHO, it has ages since the last Policy Guidelines were issued. A dynamic list like Goanet, needs at least quarterly pronouncements. Also, netters should know the composition of the A-Team and recourses available :( To get the subject ball rolling, I am initiating the subject discussions. Only now is allopathy coming to grips with what was common knowledge to our parents and forebears in the field of medicine :-) Leeches used to controlling blood pressure in Goa, I've read are now used in modern surgeries. Our parents brought home various roots and herbs from Goa and mainly used home remedies which really worked. A Goan from New Delhi told me that their family was privy to a wealth of such information, which is being passed down through heredity. While obviously there are some treasured cooking trade secrets, etc., would it not be great if we share our talents for the greater good of the Goan community? A recent example of a science problem solved by a kindly soul with a caveat hope this was not a homework assignment, gave me a chuckle. After all, isn't it in giving that we truly receive? This is just one avenue in which we can challenge ourselves towards helping one another, instead of you know what? Are there any takers?
