Novena Prayer to Our Lady Of Vailankanni Oh Most Holy Virgin! You were chosen by the Most Adorable Trinity from all eternity to be the most pure Mother of Jesus.

Thembavani: A rare Tamil Poetry book written by Rev. Fr. Beschi ( Veeramamunivar)

முதலாவது நாட்டுப் படலம்      தேம்பாவணியின் 3615 பாடல்களும் 36 படலங்களாக உட்பிரிவு பெற்றுள்ளன. இவற்றை ஒவ்வொன்றும் பன்னிரு படலங்கள் கொண்ட மூன்று பாகங்களாக முதற்கண் வெளியிட்டோர் ஒவ்வொன்றும் ஒவ்வொரு காண்டமென்று எண்ணிக்கைப் பெயரிட்டுள்ளனர். முடி சூட்டுப் படலம், 131-ஆம் பாடலிலும், பாவுரை பதிகத்தும் புறவுரை ஆசிரியத்தும் படலத் தொகையும் பாடல் தொகையும் குறிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன; காண்டம் பற்றிய விவரமே இல்லை. நூலின் தன்னிறைவு கொண்ட பெரும் பிரிவே காண்டம் எனக் கொள்ளத்தக்கது. அதனோடும் இக்காண்டப்பிரிவு பொருந்தவில்லை. எனவே, தேம்பாவணிக்குக் காண்டப் பிரிவு இல்லையென்று கொள்க.      படலம் என்பது காப்பிய உட்பிரிவாய்த் தன்னிறைவு கொண்டு, அடுத்து வரும் படலத்தோடு கதைத் தொடர்பு கொண்டு நிற்பது.      இப்படலம் வளன் பிறந்த சூதேய நாட்டின் இயற்கை வளத்தை இணைத்துக் கூறும் பகுதி.                         மழை வளம்   ...

Rev. Fr. Constantine Joseph Beschi: Who was a missionary, visionary, and above all he adopted poverty and Tamil culture to teach Christ love to Hindus

Image
Rev. Fr. Constantine Joseph Beschi, Jesuit Missionary, was responsible for evangelization of simple people to kings of his time; in my mind he was the first one to bring systematic catechist training to India; he built many churches in India with the help of revelation and visions guided prayers and conversion of kings of Tamil Nadu of his time. There are many recorded healings and extraordinary gifts showered upon people at his intercession, while he was in this world; today multitudes go to the churches and shrines he built and follow Jesus and bestow Mother Mary intercessory blessings. Thus he continues his missionary work even today. Last year, I made a trip to many of the churches and shrine he built and associated with. I have been reflecting on his life through some of his writings and testament artifacts. This year I made a trip again in the same route. I am totally impressed by this holy Priest's faith life and contributions. I wou...
