[Goanet] Narkasur Nite - informal ruminations
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible To Goanet - While Narakchaturdashi is observed throughout India, the practice of Narkasur effigies and their despatch at dawn ushering in Deepavali seems confined to Goa and areas within the cultural boundaries of Goa (towns in North Kanara such as Karwar and surrounds, and southern Sindhudurg in Maharashtra). Narkasur-vadh is what Goan Hindus associate Deepavali with. Even if the tradition of exhibiting Narkasurs exists elsewhere in pockets of India, I think it is reasonable to assume that none has the scale or the fervour of the Goan observance. How did Goa come to embrace the Narkasur mythos and when did the practice originate? I don't think there is definitive research on the topic, and we must seek recourse to anecdotal accounts (memo to self: find out more about the history of Narkasur in Goa). If Nandakumar Kamat or Prajal has dribbled on the topic in NT, keep it to yourself. My guess is that the practice is at least 100 years old. My father, now 88, recalls that the Narkasurs of his childhood were to be found in the villages of Bittona (Britona) and Ribandar/Chimbel. According to him, Mapusa acquired its own Narkasur circa 1950 and there was a big kerfuffle at the time involving the Portuguese (details of which I forget). Narkasur came to Panjim in the early 1950s, first in Mala (zhari kadem, I think). In the mid-1950s, 3 other Narkasur sites came to be firmly established - (1) near Mahalaxmi temple (Deul vaddo), (2) in Santa Inez near the slope leading to Altinho (behind Gomantak), and (3) our very own (much before I was born) in Santa Inez, at Cacule chawl, Tadmad, opposite the Tadmad ground (alas, later defiled to build what is now the Fire Station). Until 1980 or so, these 4 remained the canonical Narkasur digs in the Panjim area. From the earliest days, the practice was to put out the Narkasur for public viewing until midnight, with loudspeakers around it blaring out the hit songs of the day on 78 rpm records, interspersed with the banging of drums. At midnight the show turned mobile - the Narkasur was mounted on a truck and taken around the city to the accompaniment of dhol and other implements of noisemaking. The children of those days well remember the looping chants of the signature ditty (for one night this off-colour utterance in the company of elders and ladies was permitted). Narkasura re Narkasura navim navim kaapdaam bhokann bharaa Translation: Narkasura O Narkasura Let's stuff brand new vestments up your arse In our Cacule chawl of 5 adjoining homes separated by walls, the earliest Narkasurs of my memory (late 1960s) involved a contribution of 3 rupees from each of the 5 homes; an impressive Narkasur would be cobbled for under 15 rupees. That amount later grew to Rs 25 and stayed there for many years. My father, who functioned as the treasurer, would stretch every single rupee, comparison shopping for crepe papers (foli), the golden and silver trimmings (begad) etc at both JD Fernandes and Barnabe Souza. Other raw materials required were jute, nails, and lumber. The hay needed for the stuffing was 'stolen' in the stillness of night from Valles's adjoining field (the 'theft' being a tradition with Valles's full knowledge). The biggest expense - perhaps as much as half of the entire cost - was the Narkasur mask, and in those days the best ones were made by the artists from Mapusa. These were custom-produced and supply was very limited. My father's Mapusa connections ensured we got a very good product. By 1970, the 5 homes in our chawl had grown to accommodate a critical mass of youngsters in their teens and early 20s, besides the under-10s of my generation. In that year, our elders, spurred by my father, had a fine idea. Instead of dissipating all this youthful energy in rambunctious behaviour as was the norm, it could be channelized in creative and cultural pursuits, they figured. And thus was born the Tadmad Sanskritic Mandal. From that year onward, in addition to impressive Narkasur effigies, we staged a variety entertainment programme. The initial direction was charted by my father, who, in his active days, combined not insignificant skills in drama and music (*). (*) Some day I plan to write about the cultural climate of my father's times, the vibrant literary, poetic and musical landscape that his generation grew up in. I hear of bhaile like Amitava Ghosh pontificating on Goa's literary or cultural traditions (as if the prick knew anything about them) and of know-nothing Goans in the audience ingesting every word like
[Goanet] Western Ghats explodes, Canacona floods and Aftermath
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible By Sebastian Rodrigues October 15, 2009 While the Indian Nation was paying homage to the father of the nation M.K. Gandhi on his birthday on October 02, 2009 Goa’s Canacona taluka was under special surprise – Floods. Gandhi today has very special relevance in this context particularly so for the kind of development model he proposed for the country. If India had to follow the development path that Gandhi advocated Canacona today would have not been under such horrible floods wiping away the villages and causing misery to life in human, animal and plant form. One is completely justified to ask as to what Gandhi’s ideas has got to do with causes of floods. Gandhi advocated particular pattern of development wherein poorest of the poor would be the centre of development paradigm. This model was disregarded by the Indian ruling elites of the times led by Jawaharlal Nehru and Dams came to be regarded as ‘Temple of modern India”. It is this development model that is possibly responsible to causing horror filled floods to Canacona between October 01 to 03, 2009. There are various propositions as to what caused floods even as relief work goes on at this time. There are few who advocated that it is siltation of three rivers in Canacona that caused floods. Siltation in turn was cause by changes in pattern of agriculture of the local Canacona tribal farmers who shifted to chemical fertilizers. This may be only part contributor to aggravate the situation but not the main cause. There are still other who suggest that the floods was caused by Tsunami like wave in the Arabian Sea following earthquake in Indonesia on the same day. This is not possible as waves did not hit the coast in Goa or any other rivers witnessed floods - even minor ones. There are still suggestions put forward that there could be saline water intrusion due to open cast iron ore and manganese mines operations in Quepem and Sanguem as the water has reached below sea level inside the mining pits. It is mostly likely may not be the cause and I personally feel it too far fetch hypothesis at this stage as there are no mines operating in Canacona. If mining pits would have to be cause of this phenomenon through intrusion of ground water into the Canacona mountains then it would has to happen gradually first showing the signs in the entire coastal to hinterland landscape. To my information this is not the case and it is counter productive to immerse into opportunism and attribute every occurrence to mining industry without complete investigations. Mining is an independent disaster that has unfolded in Goa chiefly because of greed of business class and actively colluded by State politicians. Mining in Goa has stop in any case. It does not require floods to fuel panic to serve as crutches to the ongoing campaign against mining industry in Goa. There are still suggestion that there was a phenomena of cloud burst leading to unusually high amount of rainfall that crossed 65 centimeters. Goa gets seasonal rainfall of 255 centimeters and 65 centimeters on single day was beyond usual flow of the Canacona rivers. While it is true that there was this heavy rainfall it is still not the direct cause as the water that was responsible for the floods came from at least five simultaneous explosions driven landslides deep into the Western Ghats mountain range in Canacona. The question is as to how this unheard of phenomenon occurred? How did the explosions in mountains caused? From where did such massive amounts of water was stored that found its ways into Canacona montains. I have been closely associated with Canacona over the past few years via my association with Gawda, Kunbi, Velip and Dhangar Federation (GAKUVED) - and volunteer time shared with Nature Environments Society and Transformations (NEST) for five years - has been concerned about safely of people there. News of floods betrayed my understandings completely. This is from where my inquiries began. My inquiries with the villages revealed that there is no trace of such an even in their memories. So far I have not come across any records of this kind of phenomena even in local folklore that I have been trying to get insight into for sometime now. So it is a new cause of the flood in combination with various ancillary factors. What is striking is the magnitude of water flowing from deep inside the forests downwards crossing the Margao-Karwar highway towards Arabian Sea; in between washing away parts of Khotigao and Poinguinim villages washing away roads,
[Goanet] Salgaonkar Sports (Goa) under 15 years team particiapted in Manchester United Premier cup
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible Below is a write up on football in Contact Goan Chaplaincy Sept. 2009 by Wendy Fernandes for the benefit of Goan readers. Goan football enthusiasts may be interested to know that oru very own Salgaoncars from Goa qualified to participate in the Manchester United Premier Cup (MUPC) football under 15 tournament which tookpalce from 5th to 7th August at Carrington (private training ground for Manchester United team). I was inforemed of this by Salgaoncar's coach, Francisco Bruto da Costa. This tournament was founded in 1993 for under 15 as aprt of their programme to promote and scout for young talent from the world. This year over 43 countries parrticipated at Manchester including UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Ghana and China. This was an opportunity for teams to play at international elvel and sahre the experiences of briding language and cultural barriers through sports. This was the 4th yar that All India Football Federation in collaboration with Nike had sent a side from India to praticipate at the MUPC event. To qualify a local tournament was held with tams such as mahindra United FC, JCT, Pune FC, Viva Kerala, Salgaoncars, Sporting Club deGoa, Sikkin Football Academy, Mumbai Sprots School Association, Silchar Football Academy, Pondicherry Coaching Centre and Uttaranchal participated. At this finals, our Goan boys placed under the abnner of Salgaonkars and defeated Raghav FC of Gurgaon (Haryana) to make it for the first time at the MUPC tournament at Mancheser.The team arrived in Manchester prior to the tournament and alongwith all international teams were accommodated at Fallowfield Campus, Manchester University. The tournamet kicked offf on 4th August, 2009. The guests of honour were football personalities Sir Alex Ferguson, Man. United manager, Sir Bobby Charlton and Rio Ferdinand. The final ws held on 8th August, 2009 at Old Trafford where Sao Paulo from Brazil defeated Germany's Werder Bremen 3-1 to lift the cup. Alought Salgaonkar did not do extremelywell, they put their very best despite the odds of playing against very superior teams. The tournament provided the boys a platform to measure their skills, passion and determinatin against the very best of peers. Coach Francisco Bruto da Costa was all praise for the management of the Salgaoncars which provides facilities to their memebrs for promotingtalent at the grass root level. The cooperation and support from parents, schols and officials too has created a congenial atmosphere for development of football in Goa. The participation of Salgaonkars in this tournament witnessed yet another example of Goa being represented on the international map. _ Newsmakers and happenings from around the world – just one click away on MSN India http://in.msn.com

[Goanet] Indian Ambassador's letter to the Indian Community in Kuwait
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible From: Goan Cultural Centre goanculturalcentrekuw...@gmail.com -- Forwarded message -- From: K.Narsing Rao fslab...@indembkwt.org Date: Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 12:04 PM To: goanculturalcentrekuw...@gmail.com Ambassador's letter to the Indian Community in Kuwait 14 October 2009 Dear Member of the Indian Community in Kuwait, In continuation of my letter of May 26, 2009, I provide an update on consular, welfare, and other initiatives that have since been undertaken by the Embassy. Consular and passport issues: On May 27, 2009, two new Indian Passport and Visa Service Centres were opened in Kuwait. Some of you helped publicise the change in a number of Indian languages, and I thank you for doing so. Issues that inevitably accompany such a fundamental transformation were reasonably quickly put behind us. Since late June 2009 we have maintained a turn-around delivery time of 3-4 working days after a passport/consular service application is made at the Service Centre. Our attestation service at the Embassy envisages return delivery normally within 45 minutes of submission of a document. In July 2009, the online registration form for Indian citizens on the Embassy website was upgraded to provide a confirmation when a completed registration form has been properly received. This week a Consular Open House procedure has been started at the Embassy from 1000 hrs to 1100 hrs and 1430 hrs to 1530 hrs on all working days. By it, the Consular Head or a senior Consular official would be available in the Embassy Consular Room and can be met without prior appointment to discuss any consular matter. In response to queries, kindly note that in case of demise of an Indian national in Kuwait, if the mortal remains have to be sent back to India for burial then the Embassy will, upon request, bear the full air transportation costs and all incidental expenditures associated with doing so in all deserving/needy cases. Welfare and Labour issues: While the approximately 580,000 strong Indian community is present in most segments of society in Kuwait, our initial thrust has been directed at addressing the welfare concerns of our workers, especially the 225,000 Indians who work in Kuwait under Visa No. 20. Of them roughly 150,000 are male domestic workers while about 75,000 are female domestic workers. 24 by 7 toll free phone helpline for Indian domestic workers (Visa No. 20): This helpline inaugurated on 9 August 2009 has systematized and enhanced our availability to an Indian domestic worker in distress. Earlier, the response outside office hours depended on whether the person receiving the call had appropriate linguistic abilities and knew how to properly log down a concern and respond to it. Now, telephone number 25674163 is accessible toll free from anywhere in Kuwait, functions round the clock through a multiple-line call-center, and provides us with a computerised print-out of incoming call details so that the calls can be tracked back to their source. More importantly, it is staffed by persons who can respond in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Arabic and English. The helpline number is prominently front-paged on all job contracts of Indian domestic workers attested by the Embassy. As a result, new workers arriving here know, prior to their arrival, that if there is a problem someone is constantly available to them. Grievance redressal and support system: We have considerably strengthened our grievance redressal and support system mechanism in 2009 and can now reasonably promptly and effectively address grievances of Indian domestic workers (Visa No. 20) and project workers (Visa No. 18) in Kuwait. Since early this year Indian domestic workers in distress are being accommodated and looked after by the Embassy under a new arrangement, while their grievances are being addressed. On arrival, they are given a kit containing new clothes, all toiletries, and other essentials. They are also provided with bunk beds with full bedding, regular nutritious meals, and all basic amenities while they are with us. To keep them in reasonably good cheer, the common areas have a TV, with access to Indian cable channels, as well as a small music system with Indian music CDs. In case of repatriation of a domestic worker, an air ticket from Kuwait to the Indian airport nearest to their home plus sufficient cash to travel from that airport to their home town/village and pay for incidentals, is also routinely being provided by the Embassy. We now also have the

* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible To Goanet - According to the resident Marxist's theory published in the Journal of Doodoonomics, since humans first migrated out of Africa, we are all migrants, ergo Goans are also migrants, ergo ghatis...you get the, er, drift of Comrade's doodoo. Comrade's bumpals - the mullahs in Pakistan and Kashmir and Bangladesh - have obviously not gotten his memo yet. Let us leave aside the obvious - even a pigpup knows that humans did not sprout from the ground. Instead, let us ask Comrade to practice what he professes. Comrade, throw the doors to your own dwelling open to ghatis. We know that the earliest humans had no sale deeds, there was no property ownership, all dwellings were fungible. Why stop at countries and states? Let's start from the bottom. When are you going to relinquish ownership of your flat/house/zhopdi so that it becomes an open house for the free flow of ghatis? Since we are all migrants, we should be able to freely move between all homes and open spaces. Let's start with you. Better still, take your gaggle of ghatis and move to Kashmir. Your mullah pals will be delighted to learn that they, too, are migrants like you. Finally, the douchebag's ejaculate is always topped off by a squeaky bout of foul wind-breaking about Hindutva/BJP/RSS and Shiv Sena. Comrade has been trying hard at driving a wedge between Goan Hindus and Catholics on the ghati issue. Not happenin' dude. Jai Shri Ram ji ki! Warm regards, r

The first one states I am the Lord thy God. In this commandment God wants us to accept Him as the Almighty. In various chapters of the Bible in the old testament God speaks to us about idoltary. Isaiah tells us not to worship idols. He says that idols are made of wood or clay. What actually are we all doing today ? we have so much importance to dead statues. We have forgotten the living God. The word of God is the bread of life. It is soothing, cooling and everlasting. Some of the Hindus have accepted Jesus and have started to read the word of God and we who we think are the only chosen race is yet to know what Bible is. We fancy ourselves with daily flash which is not the word of God. We believe that Mother Mary will save us when she is not and she is not because she has never promissed anyone. It is Jesus who has promissed to take us to the Father. Jesus is our saviour. The law of land does not hold good to Law of God. God is ommnipotent and it is only Jesus who has seen the Father and no one else. We cannot manipulate God's word or about God's kingdom. The flood at canacona should be an eye opener to us. Those people suffered for our sins. Much more is to come unless we bind ourselves to the Almighty Father and accept Him as our creator our master and our ruler. _ Newsmakers and happenings from around the world – just one click away on MSN India http://in.msn.com

[Goanet] BOOK REVIEW: Incredibly Believable
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible SHIFTING TO A BETTER AGE THE UNIVERSE IS CHANGING, SAYS A NEW BOOK This is a different kind of self-help book. It seeks to help you not only in current times, but also in the future. Ritana Books recently came out with Incredibly Believable - Everything you wanted to know about The Shift but did not know whom to ask by Sunny Satin. The late Sunny Satin, PhD, was a hypnotherapist and past life regressionist whose work had a large following in India and abroad. He passed away in November 2006, four days after finishing the manuscript of this book. On opening the book you realize the author is talking about concepts discussed in every culture of the world, though shrouded in mysticism. Apocalyse, the End of Time, the change of yugas - all these are phrases we have heard about in scriptures or as part of cultural images with which we grew up. What they mean, and whether we can do anything to negotiate our lives through them, are not questions that occupy most of us in the humdrum of daily life. Unlike doomsday theorists, this work does not seek to create panic or imply that the world will come to an explosive end. It instead speaks of the positive changes that will occur, stating that the forces of light will overcome the forces of darkness eventually. Given the times we live in, the book paints an almost utopian view of the world once the 'New Age' kicks in - which, according to calculations, will be approximately in 2029. Even earlier, major changes will begin by 2012. For the diehard rationalist, the work could as well have been titled 'incredibly unbelievable'. But the reference to quantifiable or empirical scientific phenomena are also plain enough. Who's happy? Also, the author was neither a panic monger nor a commercially driven trouble shooter. He entices one to leaf through by specifically asking one not to read the book if the answer to Are you totally happy with your life the way it is? and a number of related questions, is an unequivocal yes. For the serious reader its frequent use of italics, exclamation marks and font changes to attract attention give it a simplistic veneer, but the aim is apparently to make it readable to as large number of people as possible. The Shift refers to the increase in the Schumann Resonance, or the basic resonance frequency of the earth. The author phrases it as 'the basic heartbeat of the Earth and explains that since 1983 this value, measured in Hz, has continuously increased. That means in the year 2013 the world will be vibrating at least 50 per cent faster than it was in the year 1983, he writes. The increased frequency will bring the earth on par with other planets vibrating at frequencies much higher than the earth is presently vibrating at. The con-current natural and scientific changes on the planet and on humans will result in heightened abilities and a civilization that operates on a more spiritual and egalitarian level than now. Since hardly anyone can deny that world of more light and love would be preferable to the current one, and across the world individuals and groups are rejecting the old order based on hierarchy, fear and force, this book is likely to be widely read and discussed. DR SUNNY SATIN had a Bachelors degree from IIT, Powai, Mumbai, a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering, an MBA in Quantitative Management and a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology.
