Onam
celebration at Pilar, Goa

Pilar: “The
harvest festival,
Onam, is the biggest and the most important festival of the
state of Kerala, celebrated with joy by people of all
communities. It was celebrated in our seminary on Saturday, 5
September. The celebrations were led by the La Salette
scholastics. The festival is celebrated to welcome the legendary
King Mahabali, whose spirit is said to visit Kerala at this
time. Onam is celebrated at the beginning of the month Chingam,
the first month of the Malayalam Calendar. The most impressive
part of Onam celebration is the grand feast called Onasadya (A
grand meal). Rice is the essential ingredient of this
nine-course strictly vegetarian meal. The meal was served on a
tender banana leaf, with the end to the left, on a mat laid on
the floor. The dishes were served in strict order. Each food
item has a fixed place on different parts of the banana leaf
starting with salt. It goes without saying that the entire
community relished the delicious meal and thanked God – and king
Mahabali.”

Ad-audiendas:
Ad-audiendas exams are like semi-finals for
the IV year scholastics (the Comprehensive being the Finals) and
undoubtedly, much feared ones. Over the years, one learns
different aspects of moral theology and the ‘final hour’ is
really the ‘acid test’ to win the ‘certificate’ of confession.
No gain without pain! After poring over the notes and books for
about a month, our IV year students appeared for their
Ad-audiendas exams on 11th July 2009. One of them
shares his reflection after being on that ‘Hot Seat’ for one
hour, on that auspicious day, facing the three ‘spin bowlers’
with curious onlookers-the audience, behind.
“The viva examinations are always
an experience of anxiety and nervousness. But in the end I feel
it is worth undergoing such experience at the end of your
formation period. Learning is a life-long process. In the
Ad-audiendias exams, in fact, three categories of students judge
their knowledge. First and foremost, the quite skilful tutors,
both intellectually and practicality, are the panellists. Their
aim is only to guide the examinee on the path of process- to
think, to take time and to be able to arrive to a common
solution. Our examiners were always ready to help us whenever we
groped in the dark. The second category is the “examinee’. There
are times when he goes completely blank and gets lost. During
this phase, he has to keep his cool, and humbly surrender, in an
effort to fathom what the examiners expect from him. Since the
examinee has amassed a lot of knowledge about various subjects
he tends to forget to use his common sense, which is not so
common on the hot seat! Do not worry-give your best; this is
also a part of examination. Finally the Audience, who are
intelligent and do answer well in comparison to the examine-have
the responsibility to learn and unlearn some of the issues and
questions put forward by the examiner. Hence, it is very apt to
say- it’s a community learning, where one has to let go by being
receptive, critical and open. I am glad, in the end, all of us
are APPROVED”.
