Subject: Kalyana Kuri - Time for Change
Your Excellency,

Hope everything is going well in Kottayam.  I am writing this again with lot of sadness and Pain.   We seem unable to deal with sensitive issues in North America.  As your excellency may remember, KCCNA regional vice president from New York, Mr. Mohan Kaduthodil, made it very clear that “Kuri” is a major issue for their generation that we should not make it difficult or consider it as an occasion to collect money during our meeting with priests and your Excellency in Los Angeles.  I have also discussed with you personally in LA, after our meeting, about this issue when your excellency mentioned to me that this is a traditional practice in Kerala.  As your excellency can see from the attached, what is practiced in Kerala is not always importable to North America as such.  I wrote to your excellency in many previous occasions as well as during several personal conversations, we as a community have a unique opportunity (because of our closeness and togetherness) to take a slightly different path that cater for fostering trust among our next generation Knanites, across the world, in our institutions, community, priests and Bishops  which in turn nurture their catholic faith through our community.  In order to do that, we must be willing to take and/or experiment a different approach that may not be comfortable and/or consistent with some of the traditions we adopted in Kerala over the years without impacting our sacraments or sacramentals.  Some of us who raised these issues over the past several years were consistently targeted and tarnished in public through church bulletins and sermons, however the reality remains.   We will not be able to completely convert our next generation growing up in western countries to our culture, rather we can make them good Knanites and Catholics.  The only way we achieve this, is with a bit of flexibility and show of care. In sincerely hope your excellency will be able to facilitate the much needed change with courage and conviction, without which we will also fail like other eastern churches in North America in attracting 2nd generation Knanites.  Some of us can help, however that require a certain amount of trust that we also have the best interest of our community and Catholic faith in our hearts/acts/words. 

Sincerely
Shiens Akasala

  2. Knanaya clergy will continue to raise funds for the church in this manner and some people will support priest for this illegal money. If some people join together and get a court order against this then it may have some effect. Anyway this Kalyana kury issue will open some peoples eye by certain extent. It not only the problem of one family. It is a common problem. In order to avoid this it is better to enroll in Latin church and conduct the marriage in Latin rites. Church peoples will not stop raising money or use pressure tactics one way or the other.

  3. Whether Shiens was behind this Kalyana kuri Issue? Hope the concern family will clarify the same.

  5. Now it is the time of Prof. Muprappilly to act.The same issue we have in Kerala.Not only pick pocketing at the time of marriage, rather than we have to feed the Priests and Nuns at the same time of reception which giving the family lot of pain and pressure.

    2. The above matter is a Major issue and have to discus.Whether this is also a traditional practice, and why all these priests dont have shame to sit with the same reception in USA.and if you all are going back to Kerala NINGALKKU KOMPU MULAKKUMO?

    4. Muprappalli is 'PRETENDING' deep and prolonged sleep. So no one can wake him up. Poozhikkunnel has always been a 'yes man' of all the clergy and everybody knows that he is without a spine! But Muprappallil was not so during last April as he proved it at Chaithanya on 'all fools day'.

      But now, Mar Moolakat has sacked him. It is his obligation to inform the knas why he is silent about the signature campaign for sui-juris and to cancel the re script?!

      Now, nobody need to expect anything from him other that what Moolakkat ask him! It was better that he resigns the post and hand it over to some brave knanite.

    5. muprapally is busy with his briother who is building up a posh life in kerala on the top of the money he made from the tears of many chicago people

      Delete
    6. Why Muprappally is silent on the new Malankara Issue ??
      Since our Bishop has taken steps to form a Malankara Knanaya Diocese under a non-Knanite Malankara Hirarchy is a suicidal
      activity, it is shame that our KCC leadership is keeping mum on this issue. 90% of the Malankara knanites are against this move because the direct control of this diocese will be under the Trivandrum Major Arch Bishop(now Cardinal)and later we will be losing our tradition.

      SINCE IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE, PLEASE TELL MUPRAPPALLY TO ACT IMMEDIATELY.

    1. Better you learn some English and read the said letter. After reading our beloved president's letter, whole knanaya hierarchy are too terrified and are running pillar to post. Now nobody will dare to do anything against the knanaya community except the traditional practices. If the practices followed in Kerala are inconsistent with the practices followed in USA, then the USA practices will be followed. In simple terms, if Rupees 3000 is collected in Kerala, Dollar 3000 will be collected in USA. If one kuri is given in Kerala for the whole celebration, two kuris, one for betrothal and another for marriage will be given in USA. One kuri=3000. Our next generation is not interested in Rupees but in Dollars. Very simple to understand.

  14. Our arrogant bishops believe it is too below their dignity to respond to a letter (or a mail) sent by a layman. Well, this is rude.

    Here, in this case, Shiens is not just another little lamb. He represents thousands of Knanites in America. Well these "Holy Folks" bother to send a reply to him?

    I am very curious to know. I would like to know what is their answer, if they have an answer.

  15. We are supposed to keep our Indian dignity and culture in this country. But it is a great shame most of our leaders are forgetting their dignity and follow the rich and twist the truth. Spirituality do have power if it is using the right way.

  16. People have startrd to think different. Even here in uk, the new leadership is doing an excellent job. They have sorted the 'Wigan issue' which Moolakadan failed to resolve. The young new general secretary has given a beautiful speech during basildon unit meeting.If any one interested to listen please search 'ukkca basildon & southend unit 2012' on you tube. So people are fedup with these priests. Enough is enough.

  18. Sheins destroy our knanaya family get together. In sheins letter nothing mentioned, what kottayam Bishop did for his favour or the present custom and practice. Both are pharmasist and having more than 100000 income per year ,per individial. They are saying in one place they belong ot lain church, then why they need zero father kuri. Why cannot they sent a legal action to the latin priest. Shins letter did not mention what he talk to bishop. ,Is it the case of this marriage issue. Why he did not take this to American Bishop council.Or What does he do so far for our community. Did he send even one letter to Rome for Endogamy rather than giving our hard earned money to his favorite legal councsel. Marriage is over, If sheins is brave soldier, he should take action against and seek compensation to all who are involed in it. KCCNA will sanciton his TA and service charge as done before, But it should be done before his term. Sheins You need cheap popularity from knanya community,who already understand you. What social service you done so far to us.

  20. It is the time for a change, a time for a revolution, a time for new thinkings within the church and with inthe community. We should be happy that we are a party to that.

    We need to change old and bring in the new as the situaitons change.

    We can't just copy what the church and the people in Kerala is doing. They are not ready to come out of the circle drawn by the church leaders. Its is land of free, we need freedom. We oppose presecution by the church leaders.

    Let us all play our own parts and support the leadership.

    Wake up my friends, wake up. Let us be with the leadership and fight it out.

  21. Recently there has been an influx of bloggs regarding Chicago Election, Houston KURI and many other subjects. Unfortunately no one is blogging about the ways and means of improving Knanaya culture. Have any one noticed that eventhough we claim superior ancestory, there is no claim for higher education, higher dignified titles etc. How many highly educated knanaya persons are there? like Phds, Scientists, economists, Nobel prize winning caliber people? All we claim is the stupid churches, Kuris and how much alcohol any one can consume. Shame on you all....Do you think Georgekutty or Kaniyali can make a positive difference in the knanaya peoples living conditions? They will always be alcoholics and wife dependants for economic growth because fortunately wifes are mostly nurses and other medical professionals who make sure that there is a positive income. All knanaya men, mostly chicago men, are so called "business people" with nothing in the brain, and the most important thing they do is propaganda for KCS election. Do you pranchis think that any position in the KCS is making economic growth in your household or making your sons and daughters go for higher education and become an educated and well behaved memebr of the Knanaya Culture???The way things are going, that can be only in your dreams......Wake up Pranchi men and women..Make a positive impact for your next generation..."tomorrow is promised to no one"..Do good today. Take all the stupid kanaya priests and parish coucil memebers to task...Church is to worship not to play politics or nature ground for priests..Stand up for the right things .....Live to make a positive effect on the next generation...(Hopefully you got it you stupid pranchis and idiots)...

    1. A SOFT LETTER TO THE THE BISHOPS....,THAT IS ALL KCCNA CAN DO.

      WHAT A SHAME. A LETTER FOR THE SAKE OF PLEASING THE POOR KNANAYITES. WHY CAN'T KCCNA GIVE AN ULTIMATUM TO ALL OUR CHURCHES, SAYING THAT THIS KIND OF ACTIONS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED ANYMORE... CONTRARY TO THAT THE LAWYERS APPOINTED BY KCCNA WILL IMMEDIATELY TAKE CHARGE AND TAKE CARE OF IT ON BEHALF OF THE KNANAYITES INFLICTED BY SUCH THREATS FROM OUR CHURCHES.

      HOPE KCCNA STILL HAS SOME MONEY LEFT OVER .HAD MORE THAN $200,000.00 WHEN THIS EXECUTIVE TOOK OVER .HOPE IT IS NOT ALL WASHED OUT AND HAS ATLEAST LITTLE BIT LEFT OVER.


      NEEDS TRUE LEADERSHIP WHO HAS TIME AND COMMITMENT NOT JUST A FAKE LETTER FOR WHICH YOU WILL NEVER GET A REPLY.

  23. Dear Blog master. Try to do some good to the community rather than destroy through your blogs. I understand you are anti-to catholic church. PEOPLE are free to go any latin church AND are free to attend syro sacrament. Pay for the cost of paper and ink and sevices if you need it for persoal. cchurch need to keep record . Let Thundathil family be advised to pay as per customs and practice rather than pay to lawyers.
    Let this couple be blessed to live together untill death and never to approach the church for permission for seperatin from syro church.

  24. What a soft letter, I think Shiens is good for nothing. Now his term is over and he want to have some other position for that he need to please the bishops. I remember that at the time he was facing the election his stand and words were much better.
