"Søkkødd Sangata Mellyam" is the most popular hymn of "Monti May" ( Our Lady of Mount), which is sung during the nine days of Novenas and feast day of Monti Fest on 8th September. It is also sung in Karnataka during the month of May dedicated to Our Lady. It is a translation of "Let us mingle together" of the English hymn. The translation was done at Mangaluru Diocese by an anonymous competent poet at the end of 19th century. This Konknni hymn then spread to Mumbai, Vasai and Goa. In Goa the lyrics were slightly changed to suit to Konknni of Catholics of Goa and it was renamed as "Sogllim Sangata Mell'-ia". The following👇video has been directed and produced by Mr Vinod Fernandes of Gangolli Parish, Udupi Diocese. His family was my neighbour from my second standard to B. Sc., till I joined the Society of Jesus (S. J.) in 1971. His mother Delphin teacher taught me English as a subject for the first time in V standard. His father Master Valerian was the physical trainer in our Saraswati Vidyalaya High School. Both of them were devout Catholics and taught us universal values and discipline. I wish you KHUXALBHØRIT MONTI FEST. A Happy Monti Fest ( Feast of the Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary). Pratap Naik sj 08th September 2020
