[Goanet] Quebec Goan Association: Christmas Wishes

2014-12-14 Thread Flora Marlow
My Dear Friends  Fellow Quebec Goan Association Members,
It has been just a few short weeks, since we celebrated together the feast of 
our beloved St. Francis Xavier. Those of us who were fortunate to be present at 
that celebration, experienced a wonderful evening of Goan hospitality  
entertainment; I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who came 
out, because together you made of it, an evening that will long live in our 
collective memory.  
Now as the end of 2014 approaches, we turn our focus to the Christmas season 
and the New Year 2015. It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year, so I 
encourage each and everyone of you to take the time to enjoy and appreciate 
each others company, whilst celebrating the commemoration of our savior's birth.
I must tell you that I have very much enjoyed my time spent as President of the 
Quebec Goan Association. To serve such a wonderful community has been and 
always will mean a lot to me. I have served in the position of Director, Vice 
President and for the last three years as President and I must tell you that 
dealing with the Goan Diaspora, has been for me an enriching experience and one 
that I shall forever cherish.
As most of you know, the theme of my Presidency has been Faith, Food and Fun 
and I have tried to incorporate this theme into all the events that we 
organised throughout my term. I firmly believe that this theme is very much in 
line with our Goan character and identity and my wish is that it will always 
remain a strong part of the Goan psyche.
I am grateful for the wonderful people who worked along side me on the 
committee's over several years and to all of you who offered your encouragement 
and help during my tenure as President.
It remains now for me to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Joyful New 
Year 2015. Thank you all, May God bless you all with health, wealth and wisdom.
Yours Sincerely;Flora Almeida MarlowPresident: Quebec Goan Association1215

[Goanet] Quebec Goan Association: Thanksgiving Greetings.

2014-10-11 Thread Flora Marlow
 Dear Friends,
 
Thanksgiving, Greetings from the Quebec Goan
Association.  
 
As another beautiful summer season comes to a close,
we welcome in the spectacular colours of Fall  with it the familiar
shortening of daylight  of course the cooling temperatures.
 
We are blessed to live in a land that offers us
such marvelous contrasts. Fall season is of course synonymous with harvest
time, when we see the results of the seeds that had been sown in the spring
time. 
 
The first settlers coming to North America’s shores
felt an urge to give thanks to Almighty God, not only for the safe passage
across the ocean, but also the abundant harvests that this new land provided.
 
So friends; the origins of the feast of
Thanksgiving reminds us that we too are called, to express our gratitude to God
who throughout the ages has provided for our needs in great abundance. 
 
You and I as diaspora of Goa, and remember, diaspora
simply means scattered seed are called to plant ourselves firmly in this new
soil, and to produce a harvest that is in line with our Goan heritage and
steeped in the traditions of our forefathers, who long ago accepted to be
ambassadors for Christ. 
 
I do wish each and everyone of you a happy and holy
Thanksgiving  wish to invite you to celebrate with us, NIGHT IN GOA, which
is an evening of Goan culture, dance, food, faith and fun.   
 
This banquet will be held on Saturday, the 8th of November 2014, at the Holiday 
Inn Aeroport Montreal, located at 6500
Cote-des-Liesse. Montreal, Quebec, H4T 1E3. The tickets are 40$ each (Early
Bird Special), until the 30th of October 2014. 
After that date the tickets are 50$ each.
Children 6-12 years old  tickets are $25
Children 5 years old and under  tickets are
$12  
The banquet begins at 6:30 p.m. and Supper will be
served at 7:00 p.m. sharp, followed by dance.
  
The menu for the banquet is:
Rice
Chana Masala ( Chick Peas )
Alloo Gobhi ( Potatoes  Cauliflower )
Crispy vegetables  dip
Tomatoes  Bocconcini cheese
4 assorted salads  market salad with assorted
dressings
Mirror of assorted cold cuts

Re: [Goanet] 2000 year old holy torn tree of Glastonbury, UK is cut down - Daily Mail 10/12/10

2010-12-11 Thread Flora
In
reply to U Barad.

 

You wrote “ you are intrigued by the
thought that Christians do worship trees, as many
other cultures do.” 

 

It certainly would sound
interesting and intriguing to many non Christian domination how the tree
has significance to Christianity. 

 

But
you will not know the difference unless and until you know the difference
between worship and respected or venerated a site.I visited Glastonbury in mid- 
April 2010. 

 

Surely if you visit Glastonbury as
I have done and visited the 'Holy Torn Tree' the most Christian visiting this
place stand in silence and very few one in a thousand tie a ribbon (but for the
time I was there I didn’t see any one tie a ribbon) people visited like any
historical site and showed respected by the visit. 

 

To clear with the concept “worship”
laid in the minds like U Barad, there was no Incense sticks (Arggabrati) or
flowers laid around in rituals or worship. No one removed slippers and walked
there, no one chanted any prayers of worship or poured any milk at the tree. I
do not criticize the worship but in plain English clarifying the word ‘worship’
used here by U Barad. 

 

I saw and noticed all Christian visited
this place like any place, and saw most visited out of something called
reverence or respect, which I think is normal and why not ? Every human being
even a atheist if consider something or someone close, would show respect and
reverence don’t they? It is natural, if it is of great importance to any human
beings. To understand the difference in these two, we must understand such
issues more with a liberal view than the eyes of Hinduism.

to Portuguese , I definitely think there is nothing better to do in life than
dwell in the past and rot in the dung!



Shame on the mentality that we argue and debate on religion in this modern era,
have  we  not progressed from the time where Brahmins
would not cross the path of a lower caste, where today a Brahim  would happily 
lives in 5 star hotel and dine
the food cooked by may be lower caste , where once he would not pass shadow of?



What is shocking is that educated doctors and writers dwell in the same
mentality of the in par with uneducated lower mentality, instead of doing
better for the ‘good of mankind’ this intelligent wasted on issue “of past and
religion converting”, distorted the good, a reader like myself feel disgusted
to know the no matter how educated a man is , the education is not of educating
the  “ mind” but merely  certificates to source of money and when it
comes to religion he will worship anything he think there is God within it!!!

 mean that to bring about a complete reversal, Catholics will have to revert
 to Hindu names and also renounce their Religion?

 My response:

 Let me rephrase your question: Does it mean that to bring about a complete
 reversal, Hindus have to convert to catholic! And, what are catholics in
 Goa? Nothing less than Hindu converts! So what is preventing you from
 coming
 back to original fold?

RESPONSE: I am quite happy to be where I am, I love eating Beef, can't keep
an abstinence Friday; wouldn't be able to be a vegetarian for 3/4 days in a
week and couldn't bring myself down to your level; i.e. be a Hindu and
nothing else and expect everyone who lives in India to be the same.!
