Mônti Fest: Feast of The Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary:

The Cultural Identity of Konknni Catholics

Pratapananda Naik, sj Loyola Hall, Miramar, Goa

On 8th September, Catholics and Orthodox Churches celebrate the

Feast of the Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary all over the world. In Goa, in the sixteenth century this feast was called Mônti Fest. Now unfortunately, this name is forgotten in Goa and it is merely called the Feast of the Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary. However, today Mônti Fest is the most popular and important cultural and family feast among the Konknni Catholics of Karnataka. It must be noted that the 98 to 99% of Konknni speaking Catholics and Hindus of Karnataka, are originally from Goa and they migrated from Goa to Coastal Karnataka from 16th century onwards for various reasons such as famine, epidemic, persecution by the Marathas, inquisition, as cultivators at the request of Ikkeri Kings, availability of fertile lands, and skilled labourers such as carpenters, fishermen, masons, potters, goldsmiths,

81 Veez Konkani

businessmen, etc. The Konknni speaking Hindus migrated from Goa to Karnataka and Kerala as early as 13th century. The Catholic Konknnis (Konknni speakers) who migrated from Goa took this Mônti Fest from Goa along with them to Coastal Karnataka. Now these Konknni Catholic settlers of Coastal Karnataka are spread out in India and all over the world and they celebrate Mônti Fest with great enthusiasm, wherever they have settled.

Konknni and Konknnis as the cultural identity: Unfortunately, and wrongly, Konknnis of Coastal Karnataka are labelled as “Mangaloreans”.

Mangaluru is the district headquarters of Dakshina Kannada district. It is unfair to label Konknnis who live in Uttara Kannada, Udupi, Shivamogga, Mysore, Bengaluru, Chikkamagaluru, Dharwad, Belgavi, Kodagu, Hassan, and elsewhere, who have nothing to do with the city of Mangaluru, to be clubbed together as “Mangaloreans”.

Moreover, Mangaloreans, Goans are regional identities and not

cultural entities. In India, the cultural identity is primarily based on language affinity. For example, Gujarati speakers are known as Gujaratis, Sindhi speakers as Sindhis, irrespective of their place of birth or dwelling. In this logical sense, all Konknni speaking persons and those who belong to Konknni speaking lineage to be rightly called as KONKNNIS. Goa Archdiocese and Mônti Fest: Mônti Fest was fostered in Coastal Karnataka by priests from Goa who were serving in Coastal Karnataka till 1838. In 1838 Dakshina Kannada district (Mangaluru as its headquarters) of Coastal Karnataka was separated from the jurisdiction of Goa Archdiocese. Similarly, on 19th September 1953 Uttara Kannada district (Karwar as its headquarters) and Belgavi district were separated from the jurisdiction of Goa Archdiocese and Belgavi Diocese was erected. Irrespective of these developments, Mônti Fest continued in Coastal Karnataka the most popular feast. Now let us see how Mônti Fest took its origin in Goa.

The arrival of the Portuguese:

altars. The main altar was dedicated to Our Lady of the Mount. The side

On 25th November 1510, in the second attempt the commander of Portuguese army Afonso de Albuquerque (1453-1515) conquered Tiswadi from Adil Shah of Bijapur (now Vijayapura). Soon after the conquest he ordered a chapel to be built in honour of Our Lady to thank her for his escape from Kamaran island in the Red Sea. Thus in between 1510 -1519, Capela de Nossa Senhora do Monte (The chapel of Our Lady of Mount) was built on the hillock at the City of Goa (now known as Old Goa). He died on 16th December 1515. According to his will he was buried in that chapel.

In 1566, his body was moved to Nossa Senhora da Graça church in Lisbon. The chapel of Our Lady of Mount was probably reconstructed twice. It had a dimension of a church and in fact it was a parish when the City of Goa was thickly populated. Since the chapel was on the mount and in Portuguese ‘Monte’ means mount, that chapel was called in Konknni “Mônti Saybinničhem Køpel” (the Chapel of Our Lady of the Mount). It had three

altars were dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua and to St. Anthony, the Hermit. Due to this chapel, the universally celebrated Feast of the Nativity of Our Lady on 8th September, in Goa came to be known as Mônti Saybinničhem Fest or Mônti Fest. Daily Mass was celebrated when it was a parish in 16th century. The feast is now celebrated in this chapel on Sunday after 8th September. Besides, on 8th of every month, an evening Mass was celebrated. I do not know whether this practice still continues or not. Until 2001, this chapel was in ruins. A restoration project was then planned and funded by the Fundação Oriente in association with the Goa government. This restored chapel still exists in Old Goa and it has become famous to host the much-acclaimed Monte

83 Veez Konkani

Music Festival to integrate the Indian and Western forms of classical music. It attracts both music performers and lovers from various countries. Besides, this chapel has been the backdrop for many Bollywood films.

The arrival of the Jesuits: In 1543, the Portuguese conquered the Bardes and Salcete regions from Adil Shah. These two regions with Tiswadi came to be known as Velhas Conquistas (Old Conquest). On 6th May 1542, Francis Xavier, the first Jesuit priest of the Society of Jesus arrived in the City of Goa. He was followed by many other Jesuits. In 1552, Fr. Gaspar Barzeus (15151555), a Jesuit priest of Dutch origin came to Goa. He was a good preacher and a talented person.

Francis Xavier appointed him as the Rector of St. Paul College at City of Goa and the Vice-Provincial of the East Province of the Society of Jesus.

Fr. Gaspar died in Goa on 18th October 1553. When he was alive, he introduced to teach music in St. Paul College. He was responsible for introducing the cultural phenomena for the creation of a Latin Indian

culture, like plainchant, polyphony, western musical instruments (like organ, piano, trumpet, guitar, violin, viola, harp, shawm, flute, vihuela, lute, harpsichord, and percussion drum), as well as Western musical forms like oratorio, cantata, villancico, and even opera. He made liturgy lively by initiating the custom of the sung Mass and of chants accompanied by the organ, as well as by instituting the post of choir master (mestre capela). Drama and music were conjoined most effectively in the Passos (sufferings).

Passion plays enacted with the aid of images, including scenes from the Last supper, the agony in the garden, the scourging at the pillar, the crowning with thorns, the Ecce Homo, the judgement of Pilate, the carrying of the cross, the crucifixion and the entombment. These ceremonies first performed with great pomp, in the first monumental Church of St. Paul College (now Old Goa), of the Jesuits (cf. “Baroque India” by José Pereira, 1995 pp 1920).

Fr. Barzeus and Mônti Fest:

84 Veez Konkani

The Mônti Fest with flowers, introduced by Fr. Barzeus was held in commemoration of the Nativity of Mother Mary on 8th September.

He asked the newly converted Catholic boys to come to the church in two long rows in white tunics and crowned with chaplets of flowers, dressed as “angels” carrying bamboo baskets of flowers. They would walk in procession, a pair at a time, to the statue of Mother Mary in the Jesuit church of St. Paul College, empty their baskets at her feet, and return to their places, singing “O Gloriosa Virginum” The reference to this custom is found in the Jesuit letters written to the General of the Society of Jesus published in Documenta Indica vols 70-72. This custom of bringing flowers was borrowed by Fr. Barzeus from the local Ganesh Chaturthi festival and adapted for the newly introduced Catholic religion.

Ganesh Festival and Mônti Fest: According to the Indian calendar, after the Shravan month, Bhadrapada month starts (corresponds to August/ September of the Gregorian calendar). On the fourth day of Bhadrapada month,

Ganesh Chaturthi in Konknni Chøvøt is celebrated. It is the most important, popular, and loved festival along the Western Coast of India among Hindus. Since it is a family festival, persons who are residing far and near come to their ancestral house to celebrate Ganesh festival. Before the festival, houses are cleaned, painted, and decorated. On the first day of Chøvøt, the idol of Ganesh is normally installed in the ancestral family house. The festival lasts for 1½, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 days. It is celebrated with great splendour.

During the festival, every day fresh local fruits, flowers, and sweets are offered. Local vegetable dishes are prepared. Anything prepared or offered to Ganesh is in odd numbers, namely, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and so on. The Harvest Festival (Nøvyačhi Pøn’čhøm’) is celebrated the next day. Newly harvested paddy corn is brought home from fields and is worshipped. A few grains are put in the day’s meal. The corn is artistically tied to bamboo sticks decorated with jungle flowers.

This is fitted above the main door and removed in the next year after procuring new corn, with the belief

85 Veez Konkani

that the house will be full of rice throughout the year.

Pure vegetarian meals are served on banana leaves or other leaves.

Sweet dishes are prepared. During the festival, non-vegetarian dishes and liquor are strictly forbidden.

In the Old conquest of Goa in 16th century, the Feast of the Nativity of Mary was celebrated on 8th September and it was called Mônti Saybinničhem Fest. Chøvøt and Mônti Fest come very close to each other in terms of date and certain customs. Fr. Gaspar Barzeus adapted the existing local tradition of Hindus offering fresh flowers to Ganesh, now to Mother Mary of Christianity. Jesuit missionaries who spread Christianity in Goa, took care to retain or adapt local cultural roots of Hindus. Mônti Fest is the best proof of this. Some of the cultural traits of Ganesh Chaturthi are reflected in Mônti Fest as it is celebrated by Konknnis who migrated from Goa to Coastal Maharashtra and Coastal Karnataka.

During the nine days of novenas and Feast Day of the Nativity of Mary, he encouraged the Catholic boys to bring flowers to honour

Mother Mary, to the Church of Our Lady of Mount. Everyday fresh flowers were brought. Within no time this tradition became very popular among Catholics in every church of Old Conquest. In those days the newly converted Catholics of Goa were eating only vegetarian food on 8th September. Gradually due to the Portuguese influence, this custom disappeared. Now for the nine days of novenas and feast, sprinkling of flowers is replaced in a number of parishes of Goa, by placing a flower at the feet of the statue of Mother Mary by everyone who comes to the church.

The Feast of Nativity of Lady in Modern Goa: In Goa now Mônti Fest is known as “Saybinničhya Zølmačhi Pørøb”, or “Fulančhem Fest”, or the Feast of Our Lady of Vailankanni. The Catholics of Goa do not combine the Harvest Festival known as “Kønnsančhem Fest with Mônti Fest.

It is celebrated in the month of August. Raia village of Salcete has the first privilege of celebrating it on 5th August. In Salcete, mostly it is celebrated on 15th August. In

86 Veez Konkani

Bardes, Aldona and Salvador do Mundo are the first to celebrate the Harvest Feast on 06th August. In Tiswadi, this feast is celebrated mostly on 24th August. However, the village of Taleigão has the privilege over the others for this festival. It starts on 21st and ends on 24th of August. The priest blesses the new paddy crop and harvests a few sheaves of corn. In Goa this feast among Catholics is celebrated by the Gaunkars (original settlers) only in rotation. The Gaunkar who celebrates the feast in a particular year, has to offer a lavish lunch to other Gaunkars.

The other parishioners have no role in it. Thus unfortunately, the Harvest Feast among the Catholics in Goa is limited only to Gaunkars and not to the entire parish community Coastal Karnataka and Mônti Fest:

combined with Nøvem (the Harvest Festival) is celebrated by all Catholics with great enthusiasm and joy in their respective parishes. It is a family feast, which unites its members. Therefore, as far as possible, family members who are far away prefer to come to their family for the celebration of this feast. This custom too has its origin in Ganesh Festival. There is a misconception in Karnataka that Fr. Joaquim Miranda, a diocesan priest of Goa Archdiocese, who was serving at Farangipete, Dakshina Kannada district started the Mônti Fest in Coastal Karnataka. This misconception is far from the real facts.

When their ancestors migrated to Karnataka, they took cultural traits and adapted them to this feast. Fr. Miranda was a known missionary serving in Dakshina Kannada district must have given the boost to this festival.

Maria Bambina Statue and Mônti Fest:

In Coastal Karnataka Mônti Fest

In 19th century, Sister of Charity of St. Bartholomea Capitanio and St. Vincenza Gerosa Congregation from Italy, who came to Mangaluru 87 Veez Konkani

to establish their convents brought the statue of Maria Bambina to Mangaluru. The multiple production of this statue was done by Simon and company and St Joseph Workshop at Mangaluru. It is a beautiful statue of baby Mary in a sleeping posture in a cradle.

During the novena days children

search for flowers everywhere. As a boy, I myself after school, in the evening have gone 2 to 3 kilometres in search of flowers, especially golden trumpets, hibiscus, plumeria, marigold, periwinkle, tiger claw, balsam. When these flowers were not available mother would ask us to take wild sesame flowers and pumpkin flowers. In her simple faith, mother would tell us that Mother Mary accepts all flowers brought to her with faith and love. We children took with great reluctance because

other children would laugh at us. In the morning especially children with their parents came to the church for Novena Mass with flowers arranged artistically in a basket or a plate. After the Mass, children came in a procession singing the most popular song of Mother Mary “Søkkødd Sangata mellyam” and laid one main flower at the feet of Baby Mary’s statue called Maria Bambina. This hymn is a translation of the English hymn “Let us Mingle Together”, done first at Mangaluru.

From there this hymn spread to Mumbai and Goa. In Goa, it changed as “Søgllim Sangata Mellia” replacing a few original words with local Konknni words. After laying a flower, all the children stood in a horseshoe shape around the Baby Mary’s statue and sang the song “Møriyêk Hogollxiyam” and sprinkled three times flowers around the statue. Afterwards, the priest incensed the statue and the novena prayer was said. Finally, the priest gave a blessing and the novena of the day ended by singing the hymn of Mother Mary and kissing the statue. This novena ritual continued for nine days. More or less with a little variation the same

88 Veez Konkani

custom continues for nine days of novenas.

Feast Day Celebration: On the feast day 8th September, sheaves of new corn are kept on a table near the grotto of Mother Mary or in an open place of church compound. People gather there and children are ready with their flower baskets. The priest then blesses the new corn and it is carried in procession to the church by singing the hymns of Our Lady. Children sprinkle flowers during the procession. Then, Feast Day Mass is celebrated. After the Mass, each family is given one or two sheaves of blessed corn. People carry it to their homes. In some parishes sugarcane or sweet dish “vorn” is served to everyone, especially to children by the sponsors. On the feast day, various types of vegetable dishes of local vegetables are prepared in odd numbers, namely, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, … (as it is done for Ganesh Festival by the Hindus). A sweet dish called “vorn” or “pays” is prepared. Most of the Catholic families strictly eat only vegetarian meals on this day. However, in the

northern part of Udupi district and Uttara Kannada, Catholics besides vegetarian dishes do prepare fish curry of fresh fish. If fresh fish is not available, then the curry of dry prawns is prepared. No meat dishes or alcohol is served on this feast. In some places, the blessed corn is peeled and mixed with milk, served to family members after saying a prayer in front of the altar. In other places, the peeled corn is put either in the sweet dish “vorn” or in all dishes. The remaining corn is placed on the altar. That day people eat their lunch on a banana leaf. To those who could not attend the feast at home, a few grains of blessed corn is sent to them by post.

My parents sent it to me faithfully from the time I joined the Jesuits in 1971 till their death in 2004. The customs of this festival have changed according to the locations, times, circumstances, and local customs. For example, banana leaves for meals are replaced by plates. In cities, the feast is celebrated on Sunday after 8th September. Mônti Fest is now celebrated by Catholic Konknnis of Karnataka in all parts of India and abroad, even in USA, Canada,

89 Veez Konkani

Australia, New Zealand and Japan in their own way, even including nonvegetarian dishes!!! In Goa, the cultural importance of this festival is totally lost, but it is still preserved among Konknni Catholics of Karnataka origin, especially in Coastal Karnataka. However, the core of the feast, namely, honouring Mother Mary with flowers has still remained both in Goa and elsewhere.

Belgavi and Sindhudurg dioceses where Konknni Catholics are in majority. Surprisingly, in these dioceses not a single parish is dedicated to Our Lady of Mount.

Why? It is a great mystery for me.

Mônti Saybinn (Our Lady of Mount) is originally a native Konknni word of Goa. Unfortunately, In Goa, day by day Mônti Saybinn and Mônti Saybinničhem Fest terms are dwindling and Vailankanni Saybinn name, which was originally from In Goa there were two churches Tamil Nadu is getting prominence dedicated to Our Lady of Mount. among Catholics. It is true that One at Old Goa and the other built Mother Mary is called by hundreds by the Jesuits in 1590 at Chinchinim. of names, but a name of Goan origin Later, Chinchinim church was should have been maintained and dedicated to Our Lady of Hope.

75 YEAR TWITCH

# chhotebhai Married men are supposed to suffer from the 40 year itch when, though hitched, they start looking for greener pastures. A body continues to twitch for sometime as the muscles and nerves relax. Does a nation also itch or twitch in the course of its history?

India Today magazine tried to stitch together this itch or twitch in its 75th Independence Day special, with the headline “The Pathbreakers”. I picked up this special issue hoping to find in it a barometer of the country’s growth or achievements over the last 75 (actually 74) years since Independence in 1947. Here is what I found.

Aroon Purie, the magazine’s editorin-chief, says that there is much to be grateful for. In 1947 just 18% of the population was literate. Life expectancy was a low 32 years. Not just life, but everything else was short – like food, healthcare, institutions and industries.

Now 75% literacy has been achieved. Life expectancy has doubled; we are self sufficient in food and are the world’s fifth largest economy. I cannot help but wonder at those pseudo desh bhakts who shamelessly parrot that previous governments did nothing for 70 years!

Purie says that the magazine has identified 115 titans who were among the Pathbreakers. Why such an arbitrary number? Had it been limited to 75 it would have made more sense. Purie blunders when he refers to this as our “diamond jubilee”! It is actually our Platinum Jubilee, as Diamond refers to sixty

129 Veez Konkani

years. So the itch and twitch are visible.

The Pathbreakers are classified under Politics (quite predictable), Business, Science, Defence, Sports, Spirituality, Literature, the Arts, Food and Cinema. I fail to see how the last two can be categorised as Pathbreakers. Perhaps this was to glam up an otherwise staid presentation. But I felt that it only served to dilute the contributions of the real Pathbreakers.

I won’t bore you with a rundown of all the categories or titans. I have chosen a few that caught my attention or interest. Politics has 24 titans, four of whom are from the Nehru dynasty alone (thereby reinforcing their contribution to nation building), and just three women.

First on the list is Mahatma Gandhi, though dubbing him as a politician is a disservice. Raj Chengappa quotes Albert Einstein to say “In our time of utter moral decadence, Gandhi was the only true statesman to stand for a higher human relationship in our political sphere.

Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked the earth”.

The Dalai Lama who came to India eight years after Gandhiji’s death, calls him “the model politician, a man who put his belief in altruism above all personal considerations and consistently maintained respect for all great spiritual traditions.

Gandhi was perhaps the greatest of our time”.

P.Chidambaram writes about former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who famously said that history would be kinder to him than the present generation.

Chidambaram identifies Singh’s three great achievements – attaining a growth rate of over 9% in three years, quadrupling India’s GDP in constant prices, and lifting 270 million people out of poverty.

By 2014, when he demitted office, the Indian economy was a leaping tiger says Chidambaram.

Next on my list is Narendra Modi, who Shivraj Singh Chauhan describes as “The Deliverer”. He calls

130 Veez Konkani

him a man of ideas. He says “I have seen him transform India into a glorious, prosperous, powerful and dignified nation by taking bold decisions such as surgical strikes against Pakistan, use of technology to end corruption, and demonetization to curb black money....There has been no one like him on India’s political firmament.”

He could have added that he held the javelin that won Neeraj a gold medal at the Olympics!

A glaring omission in the magazine’s Pathbreakers is the absence of those who actually hold the levers of power in India – the bureaucrats. Surely there was place for people like P.N.Haskar, T.N. Sheshan and Julio Ribeiro, to name a few.

It is good that industry and business find place in the list of Pathbreakers.

There are 19 of them, including two Tatas and two Ambanis.

Azim Premji (himself India’s leading philanthropist) focuses on JRD Tata’s contribution to society. “The India Institute of Science, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences,

the National Centre for Performing Arts and the Tata Memorial Hospital are just a few amongst the best known ones”. Inspiring indeed !

Vikram Kirloskar describes Rahul Bajaj as the “Domestic Champ”, the one who made “Hamara Bajaj” synonymous with India. Normally business honchos are reluctant to speak out against the government or its policies. Not so Bajaj. Of him Kirloskar says “I learnt it was important to do the right thing, with continued emphasis on good governance and ethics, and to speak your mind confidently”.

Just one woman features in this section. You guessed right – Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, who T.V. Mohandas Pai describes as a “Role Model”. Like Bajaj, “She also speaks her mind – in a constructive way – on matters of policy and social concerns. She bonds easily, with people seeing in her a very honest, upright person devoted to the betterment of society”.

We boast of India as the mother of many world religions – Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism and Sikhism. Yet

131 Veez Konkani

the magazine could identify only two spiritual leaders. Yes, one is Mother Teresa; guess who the other one is - Bhagwan Rajneesh. Does that surprise you? It surprised me too.

Navin Chawla, Teresa’s biographer, unfortunately adds nothing to what we already know about the Saint of the Gutters. He says that “she was happiest in the meaner streets or slums of the world. In the process she had become the world’s conscience keeper”.

Ma Anand Sheela calls Osho Rajneesh “The Taboo Breaker”. She laments that “I think its a shame that some only regard him as a sex guru.

He was a man who understood sex and sexuality, yes, but what he was asking for was the world to give up its taboos”. She adds, “Bhagwan’s teaching of love, life, laughter and acceptance – appealed to all of us who were young at the time”.

The section on defence has just two, Field Marshal Manekshaw, and General K. Sundarji. Perhaps there could have been place for war heroes who sacrificed their lives for the nation. In an era of rabid

majoritarianism, the defence forces could have been held up as a truly secular force. For example, how many of us know that our highest gallantry award, the Paramvir Chakra, went, among others, to those from minority communities like Col Tarapore (a Parsee), Havildar Abdul Hamid (a Muslim) and Lance Naik Albert Ekka (a tribal Christian)?

Post Tokyo 2020 we are gaga about sports, albeit in front of TV screens.

But the magazines choice of sports icons is pathetic. Of the 8 chosen, 3 are predictably cricketers, and two “also rans”, the fourth place finishers Milkha Singh and P.T. Usha. The legendary Dhyan Chand, after whom the country’s highest sports award has just been renamed, finds no mention. Also missing is M.C. Marykom, our best woman sportsperson to date.

I find the category on Cinema obnoxious.

How can these Bollywood gyrators be classified as Pathbreakers for the nation? I’d rather break by head against a wall.

There are other categories like Science & Technology with the

132 Veez Konkani

usual suspects like Homi Baba, Vikram Sarabhai, Verghese Kurian and Abdul Kalam.

While India Today has highlighted what it thought best are the titan Pathbreakers of India, I hope that they will be more judicious and all encompassing by the time we actually get to celebrate the platinum (not diamond) jubilee of our Independence in 2022. Till them I am not bewitched of their 75 year twitch.

There are two from Literature, including Salman Rushdie, who doesn’t even live in India. I’m shaking my head in disbelief. There is a section on art, music and dance and, would you believe it – gourmet cooking. Sadly, there was no space for Pathbreakers in the fields of • The writer is the Convenor of education, health or the judiciary. the Indian Catholic Forum Environmentalists like Sundarlal Bahuguna and Medha Patkar were AUGUST 2021 also missing.
