Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 http://www.indiafirstfoundation.org/news_m/news_m.htm The Catholic church will take up the study of Sanskrit, adapt to monastic life in an ashram and adopt the Hindu ritual of aarti during mass if the movement towards 'Indianisation of the church' gets the nod from 400 priests and five bishops congregating in Pune. Starting Tuesday, Pune's Papal Seminary, which is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its transfer from Kandy (Sri Lanka) to the city, will play host to the priests for three days. Discussions will cover the state of the church in India and the movement for its Indianisation. The Catholic church has already adopted a number of Indian traditions and practices and has come a long way, four decades after the historic Second Vatican Council (1962-65) brought an epochal shift in the modern church through its declaration on religious liberty. Pune's Papal Seminary, which has ordained over 1,250 priests during the past 50 years, has continued with its modernisation effort along with its associate institutions such as the Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth (JDV), formerly the Pontifical Anthenaeum, and the De Nobili College. Pune-based Catholic leaders such as Joseph Neuner, Kurien Kunnumpuram, Francis X D'Sa, John Vattanky and Subhash Anand have been stressing for lesser control from the Vatican, to make the church "truly Indian and genuinely Christian". 'Many Christian priests follow ancient ashram system strictly'. Francis X D'Sa, an internationally acclaimed Sanskrit scholar has noted in his paper published in 'Dreams and Visions: New Horizons for an Indian Church (2002)': "Today, the time has come for the Indian church to shed its image of a multinational company and retrieve those characteristics which bring out its 'Catholicity' in the best sense of the word." Pandikattu Kuruvilla, teacher of philosophy at JDV and the Papal Seminary's rector, Ornellas Coutinho, explained that a number of Indian religious customs and practices have already been embraced by the Catholic church to become truly Indian.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Have no fear. The SANATANA DHARMA is like fine cream as it will always rise to the top. "Paritranaya Sadhunam Vinaschaya Cha Duskrtam, Dharmasamstarpanathaya, Shambavhami Yuge Yuge" (Bhagavad Gita) "For the protection of the good and the destruction of the wicked, I advent myself from age to age" - LORD SRI KRISHNA Please excuse my Sanskrit, as it is not that good.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hi Janardana, Well said! It is amazing that Hinduism is the only religion surviving and thriving even after at least 10,000 years. These days the church is facing a lot of pressure, their attempts at conversion are not as succesful as they were in the past. I have noticed that churches in Kerala have started a "Vidyarambham" (initiation to education) after observing the huge popularity of this in Hindu temples. But this church based Vidyarambham has not been very successful, drawing less than 100 people usually even when Bishops preside over the ceremony. We can expect to see more efforts to Hindu-ify the Catholic church in the coming years, primarily out of sheer desperation. -yogaman , Janardana Dasa <lightdweller> wrote: > > Have no fear.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Tru that. Definitely, THE ONLY EXTANT ONE surviving and thriving after 10,000 years and even longer. Some of the ones causing alot of world wide ruckus these days will ptobably not survive into the next century, let alone for 10,000 or more years.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 when the Hindu aspects are adopted, for eg: the Vidyarambham is on Vijayadashami day, then atholicism cease o be that and the process of integration of Catholicism to Hinduism has started.
