Starts off with music (4.12 m). Architect-trainer Praveen Sabnis is the
compere. Late journalist Umesh Mahambre is remembered at the start of the
function. The evening promises poems in Konkani, Portuguese, English,
French... in tribute of the poet late Manoharrai Sardessai.

Artist-writer-singer Willy Goes (sings Khoro Goenkar, the True Goan,
originally sung by Frank Fernand).  Jitendra Adkonkar. Goa Sudharop's
proactive member from San Francisco Acaria Almeida [acariaalme...@yahoo.com]
reads in English.

Young Supradha Bhat sings a children's song (Ganvchea matari ghe, tum khum
ghe geleli?). Goanetter Fr J Loiola Pereira [loiol...@gmail.com] recites
Jorge de Abreu Noronha's translation of Dr Sardessai's work. He continues
with a French poem (in a Portuguese accent) and sings his own personal
anthem that was crafted by Manoharbab in Konkani (Hanv Padri or Jesu
Bashin, now sung as a hymn in many Goan churches) with his Portuguese
translation of the same.

Sarash Sardessai, another young one, recites Babeachea Kazar (The Wedding
of the Frogs). Educationist Jayesh Raut recites too. Architect Pritam
Sardessai, Dr Bernadette Gomes, and Pritam again recite the late poet's ode
to the Goan mango in Konkani, English and Portuguese, respectively.

Sunil Sardessai recites some of his late father's tiny poems of ironical
verse. Maya Sardessai, the daughter of Dr ManoharRai and a poet herself,
reads in Konkani, English and French. Others taking part are radio
announcer Shakuntala Bharne, Prof. Shashikant Sardessai (in Marathi,
Sundar Mhaza Gova),  Dr Tarna Khadpe, Prasad Bhat, Umesh Sardessai, and
the talented poet Ramesh Veluskar among others. The last is a political
poem on democracy and its real-world implications.

Pravin Sabnis and Tanuja Mahambre organised the event, held at the
Krishnadas Shama Central Library, Pato, Panjim. Recording runs for 88
minutes.

[Goanet] A tree in the well or a tree in the wall?

2013-01-18 Thread JoeGoaUk
A tree in the well or a tree in the wall?
At Pernem

a short video clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGLhAm_JC5s


It was not that early morning but around 11.15am - Listen to  'Kombea Saad'  
not 3 times 
but 4 times – Global warming to blame I suppose

Popular landmarks of Pernem Town centre also included
i.e. Church, Temples, Govt. Buildings etc to give exact location

The well is behind or attached to old dilapidated Portuguese bulding whose 
frontal wall has this plate / inscription thus -
EDIFICIO
GENERAL CRAVIERO LOPES
CONSTRUIDO A SUAS EXPENSAS
PELO VISCONDE DE PERNEM
E
OFERECIDO  A CAMARA MUNICIPAL
DE
A 22 – PERNEM – 8-932

Btw, can any body give / guess the age of the tree in the well ?
Must be alteast as old as me. 
No prize for guessing it's source of water for survival

I like anything that is built or constructed before Goa liberation.
Just look at the state of this well, if cleaned, I am sure it can be put back 
to use

Augusto,
Despite reading it more than once, I did not associate the obituary 
announcement of his long name, with Fr. Ivo. It is only after I read Santosh's 
condolences that I did. 

Fr. Ivo was passionate about his beliefs. He made the time and stood up for 
what he believed in. I respected him for this. I am sure that Fr. Ivo passed 
away a happy man as he did all he could to express his views whenever the 
opportunity arose.

Hopefully, everyone here will pass away with the same sense of satisfaction 
that Fr. Ivo did.

RIP Fr. Ivo, you found your calling and did a good job.

[Goanet] Objectionable picture of Jesus Christ

2013-01-18 Thread U. G. Barad


I came across the enclosed article.  Aries has every right to express his
displeasure of the chief minister comparing his suffering to that of Jesus
Christ.  And he has every right to say that he found the silence of the
Church disturbing.  But, I think, he could have expressed his displeasure in
a more refined way.

Incidentally, Aries says that the picture that he has depicted is not that
of Christ.  Can he say whose picture it is?  I have personally not seen the
picture.

Best regards,

U. G. Barad


Complaint filed against Goa activist over vulgar image of 'Christ' 
Author: IANS
Publication: News Track India
Date: January 14, 2013
URL:
http://www.newstrackindia.com/newsdetails/2013/01/14/268--Complaint-filed-ag
ainst-Goa-activist-over-vulgar-image-of-Christ-.html


A digitally altered image posted on Facebook allegedly of Jesus Christ has
prompted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Goa to file a police complaint
against a lawyer and activist who had uploaded it on the social networking
site.

The complaint lodged with Director General of Police Kishen Kumar has sought
action against activist Aires Rodrigues for hurting religious sentiments by
uploading an image of Christ showing the middle finger, Goa BJP's
vice-president Wilfred Mesquita told reporters here Monday.

This is a vulgar picture of Jesus Christ that he has uploaded in order to
make a point against the BJP. Such use of religious imagery is aimed at
creating hatred with a community, Mesquita said.

Rodrigues has in the past taken on both the Congress as well as the BJP
government over issues like governance and overspending.

The photo was uploaded days after Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar reportedly
said that in his role as chief minister, he was suffering like Christ
himself.

The stoic silence by the Church on this outrageous and demeaning comparison
by the chief minister is deafening. A very sorry state of affairs,
Rodrigues said in his controversial Facebook post.

Rodrigues said that he was himself a born Catholic and the post was without
any malice and should offend none.

Nowhere in the post is it said that the picture accompanying the post was
that of Jesus Christ, the lawyer activist said.

I wish I could also buy a piece of Mopa and then sell it for 10-15 times more

Doc and Advocate,
In my effort to keep things simple, at times the point I am trying to make does 
not get highlighted.

The point I was trying to make with the similarity of the Zanzibar and Goa 
events is that the people did not bless the mergers. A politician worth his/her 
salt will ask for a referendum to bless the merger. When s/he does not, all 
they are doing is sowing the seeds for a dissolution down the line. 

When you create a political merger, you lay the foundation. A solid foundation. 
A half baked foundation is worse than no foundation at all.

[Goanet] OBITUARY: Rev Fr Ivo da Conceicao E Souza

2013-01-18 Thread Bernado Colaco
Heartfelt sympathies to the family of Padre Ivo. 

On the other hand please do not let xri Xantosh go. Goenchimxapotam and 
Chimbelites need him.

When I saw Santosh's condolences re Rev Fr Ivo da Conceicao E Souza it
struck me immediately that these two were perpetual antagonists on GN.
Whether it was the subject of religion or the issue of medicine the two
would forever be at each other like ... er ... well ... like husband and
wife.

I'm sure Santosh's interactions with Fr Ivo added many years to his life.
I'm sure Fr Ivo is waiting somewhere for the day when he can resume his
debates with Santosh.

[Goanet] Dykt: Lisbon Appointment (did you know this?)

2013-01-18 Thread Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا
The Lisbon Appointment was the decision in 1965 by Britain's self-
governing colony in Rhodesia to open its own diplomatic mission in
Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, which would operate independently from
the British embassy there. Britain objected to the proposal when it was
put forward in June 1965, and tried unsuccessfully to block it. The
affair came amidst the larger dispute between Whitehall and Salisbury
about sovereign independence for the colony. Whitehall insisted that
there could be no independence before majority rule, which was opposed
by Rhodesia's mostly white government. Rhodesia's staunch opposition to
immediate majority rule and its disillusionment regarding Britain
propelled it towards Portugal, which governed the neighbouring
territories of Angola and Mozambique. Portugal, while insisting it was
neutral regarding Rhodesia, officially recognised Harry Reedman as
Chief of the Rhodesian Mission in September 1965. It was careful to
avoid provoking Britain, omitting the word diplomatic from the titles
given to Reedman and his mission, but the Rhodesians still regarded
themselves as victorious. Less than two months later, Rhodesia
unilaterally declared independence.

[Goanet] Objectionable picture of Jesus Christ

2013-01-18 Thread bedeso...@gmx.ch
Jesus was born an Arab Jew and could not possibly have had a white skin, 
blue eyes and light brown hair (picture used by Aires). That portrait of 
Jesus that we find in the Churches in Goa was based on both ignorance of 
the Portuguese as well as an attempt by the European colonial powers to 
prove their superiority, what I would call a political Jesus. Forensic 
scientists have developed a likeness of Jesus; it was published some 
years ago in the National Geographic and those who are interested can 
see it here:

I came across the enclosed article.  Aries has every right to express his
displeasure of the chief minister comparing his suffering to that of Jesus
Christ.  And he has every right to say that he found the silence of the
Church disturbing.  But, I think, he could have expressed his displeasure in
a more refined way.

Incidentally, Aries says that the picture that he has depicted is not that

A digitally altered image posted on Facebook allegedly of Jesus Christ has
prompted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Goa to file a police complaint
against a lawyer and activist who had uploaded it on the social networking
site.

The complaint lodged with Director General of Police Kishen Kumar has sought
action against activist Aires Rodrigues for hurting religious sentiments by
uploading an image of Christ showing the middle finger, Goa BJP's
vice-president Wilfred Mesquita told reporters here Monday.

This is a vulgar picture of Jesus Christ that he has uploaded in order to
make a point against the BJP. Such use of religious imagery is aimed at
creating hatred with a community, Mesquita said.

Rodrigues has in the past taken on both the Congress as well as the BJP
government over issues like governance and overspending.

The photo was uploaded days after Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar reportedly
said that in his role as chief minister, he was suffering like Christ
himself.

The stoic silence by the Church on this outrageous and demeaning comparison
by the chief minister is deafening. A very sorry state of affairs,
Rodrigues said in his controversial Facebook post.

Rodrigues said that he was himself a born Catholic and the post was without
any malice and should offend none.

Nowhere in the post is it said that the picture accompanying the post was
that of Jesus Christ, the lawyer activist said.

[Goanet] Jesus controversy!

2013-01-18 Thread petronela Souza Roy
That was interesting about Eugene's post Jesus T-shirt controversy and the 
current debate of the
 lawyer activist in Facebook/Prudent media concerning Jesus Christ

 Interestingly as the Lawyer activist says that the RC Church did not say 
nothing about the CMama politician
 quoting Jesus to Himself. I dont't think he meant to insult anyone. He over 
exegerated his position of the politician. But should the name of the prophet 
was quoted, the Alahoos would go for anyone's neck for blasphemy. Dare our 
CMama do this? I doubt!

 Interestingly NO ONE knows what the face of the Historical Jesus looks like. 
Some have given him various shapes and sizes. Others have depicted Him with a 
beared. Some say He shaved daily. The ONLY source if one wants to KNOW and 
see Him is the Bible or the Torah and the Gospel accounts.
 Jesus manifested Himself both in both the New and Old Testaments in the bible. 
In the NTestament He incarnated. The Word (Jesus) became flesh (John 1:14)
 One can get an idea of His nature and character in the Gospel accounts written 
by those who knew Him.

 The only person who wrote an near account of Jesus face was his best friend 
and the youngest apostle named John. He (John) was always close to His Friend - 
and wrote 5 books in the New Testament Bible.

 Soon after Jesus' death and His resurection, he appeared to many, 
interestingly MANY did not recognize Him.
 Mary Magdalene was the FIRST to discover Him. She thought he was the local 
gardner until Jesus called her by her personal name. Could she have recognized 
His familiar voice which He used to speak to her prior to her deliverance as a 
sex worker? She was very grateful to him. The Eleven Apostles did NOT recognize 
Him - inspite of having spent 3 plus years with the Lord. (See the Writing of 
John in chapter 20). The same John writes again
 writes what He saw:
 Revelations Chapter 1
 quote:

 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw 
seven golden lampstands,
 13and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed 
with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like 
a flame of fire;
 15His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as 
the sound of many waters;
 16He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp 
two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
 17And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand 
on me, saying to me, Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.
 18I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. 
And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
 19Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the 
things which will take place after this. unquote.

 Even with the above His face was NOT described.
 His works and His death and resurection has affected many until this day. 
 Interestingly, again, the word CHRIStianity is NOT found , not even ONCE in 
the Bible.
 It is a religion - of various brands marketed but church denominations. Why 
should they (RC or others) care?
 We live in a world where anything goes. Each one does what is right in one's 
eyes.
 J 
 But woe to those who quote His name but did not bother to seek Him. 

 Paul was a controversial religionist in those days. He was flung from His 
horse to the ground and soon after knowing Who this controversial Person was, 
wrote many books about Jesus. Even more than his colleagues the Disciples who 
were with the Lord. 
 He (Paul) writes:  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those 
in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
 11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory 
of God the Father. 
 Letter to the Philipian church chapter 2 Verses 10-11.

 Will this every knee words apply to us today? We live in a holly bolly rolly 
world.

 Jesus is the Rock and you could be in His roll...stop using His Name in vain.
 Today, His name is still controversial just like those days or 2000 years ago. 

 I read a sticker pasted on a car bumper: It said: WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM - 
JESUS CHRIST

 These very words in the sticker can raise a controversy. It implies that those 
who do not seek Him are FOOLS!
 Someone could smash the windscreen of this car as his/hers sentiments are 
hurt.
 is there any law book to describe what kind of sentiments are right, wrong,l 
lawful etc? Then the matter could
 be taken to court. Or are we or could we march towards Sharia law?

RESPONSE: The insinuation That portrait of Jesus that we find in the Churches 
in Goa was based on both ignorance of the Portuguese as well as an attempt by 
the European colonial powers to prove their superiority, is 
malicious,contemptuous and baseless. Nowhere at the site provided is it stated 
that Portugal has created the portraits of Jesus. The images, Idols and 
portraits in Goa are mostly from Italy, and all over Europe similar portraits 
and images exist. Bernardo Souza seems to have an axe to grind. But his 
roundabout and directionless approach is futile.
