| Bandra - History of Bandra |
| Bandra History For Blogs on Bandra: Click Here In the 'Conquista Spiritual de Oriente' (about 1638) it is mentioned that in the pre-Portuguese period (before 1534) the King gave Bandra to the Captain of South Salsette as it was the largest village in the South Salsette District (Salsette is the island bounded by Thane, Kurla, Bandra and Bhyandar). Bandra became tributary to the Portuguese in 1532. Gerson Da Cunha in his "The Origin of Bombay" (1900), gave us an abridgement of an account from 'Lendas da India'. In this account there is a description of how Diogo da Silveira brought Thane, Bandra, Mahim and Bombay under tribute. In 1534, King Bahadur Shah of Gujarat, ceded Vasai, Salsette and the adjacent areas to the Portuguese. Bandra thus became a Portuguese possession. In 1548, Bandra, Kurla, Mazagaon and four other villages were given by the Governor of Portuguese India to a certain Antonio Pessoa as a reward for his military services. This was confirmed by the Royal Chancellery on the 2 nd February, 1550. As these villages were given for a period of 'two lives', they reverted to the Viceroy after the death of Isabella Botelha, the widow of Antonio Pessoa. The Jesuits who had applied for these villages in anticipation of the death of Isabella Botelha obtained them from the Viceroy in 1568 and the Royal confirmation was received in 1570. The Jesuits were the owners of Bandra till 1739 when it fell to the Marathas. Find Restaurants in Bandra Bandra was under the British from 1 st January, 1775 till 14 th August, 1947. 2. Name The name of the place has undergone a metamorphosis from 'Vandra' (Marathi) to 'Bandora' (Portuguese) to Bandra (English). Other variants were Bandor, Bandura, Bandera, Bandara, Pandara and Bandorah. 3. Maps When a place grows in importance and fame we say that it is being 'put on the map'. It is remarkable that 'Bandura' is boldly indicated on the maps of Dr. John Fryer (1672) and Jacques Nicolas Bellim (1740) and other maps of the period. This fact will be appreciated all the more when we consider that few places are indicated on these maps. 4. Port Before railways and roadways became common, waterways were the means of communication. Places that were situated on waterways often prospered. Bandra is an example of this. Bandra was (and is) situated on the south-west extremity of the island of Salsette; in fact Bandra itself was called an island. It lay north of the creek or rather waterway that led to the Bombay harbour. Before this waterway was rendered useless due to the building of the Mahim and Sion causeways, silting and reclamation, boats used to pass between Mahim and proceeded via Sion to the Bombay harbour. Therefore there were many fortifications on both sides of this waterway : forts at Worli, Mahim and Sion on the South and two at Bandra and one at Kurla on the north of this waterway. The Jesuit, Fr. Monclaro, writing in the 1570s says that Bandra "is a harbour and a good stopping place for the ships coming from the south or from the north and intending to move forward". We have many references about Bandra as a port. For example, among the 'conditions' laid down on 14 th January, 1665, when Bombay was being ceded to the English we have : "That the port of Bandra in the island of Salsette nor any other islands shall be impeded and all vessels from that port or ports, and others coming to them, shall be allowed to pass and repass very frankly…" In Vol. XIV, pg. 15 of the Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency (1882) Bandra is described as a port and we can obtain the annual value of the imports and exports of Bandra from the years 1874-1881 from Vol. XIII, pt.2, pgs. 354 & 355. 5. Town, Village and Hamlets (Find Real Estate in Bandra click here) Some of the early writers call Bandra a town. John Fryer who visited Bandra in 1675 writes : "The town is large and houses tiled; it is called Bandura…. It is also called a village. Fr. Gomes Vaz, writing in 1576 says : "Bandra is a very fine village". This large village was comprised of more than 20 hamlets or 'pakhadis'. Today each of these is popularly called a village but technically they are hamlets. From the church registers, other records and gravestones we know the names of the extant and extinct hamlets. a) The following hamlets (pakhadias) existing during the Portuguese period - ending May 1739) may be mentioned: i) Chuim cultivators ii) Candely - cultivators - extinct after 1732 - near Chuim iii) Rajan - cultivators - Port. Rajana iv) Sherly - cultivators - Port. Sellaly v) Malla - culltivators - Port. Mallem vi) Palli - cultivators - Port. Pallem vii) Parvar - cultivators - extinct after 1853 - between Dr. Ambedkar Road and Khar Gymkhana viii) Old Kantwadi - cultivators - Port. Horta de Santo Andre - N.B. New Kantwadi comes into existence in 1817- likewise hamlet of cultivatorix) ix) Ranwar - cultivators - Port. Ranoar x) Boran - cultivators - Port. Dandacavar xi) Tank - cultivators - Port. Tanque xii) Patarvar - cultivators - extinct after 1817- north of St. Joseph Convent. xii) Santa Cruz - toddy-tappers and cultivators xiv) Khar - Bois and "cavoqueiros" - Port. Salgado xv) Cumbarvara - Bois and potters - near Khar xvi) Catirvara - Bois - near Khar xvii) Povoacao - Portuguese and their household staff - D’Monte Street extending to the old Slaughter House site. Find activities of NGOs and Proactive Citizens of Bandra Besides the above there were the following localities: miscellaneous population - near Povoacao xviii) Horta do Bazar (Bazar Oart ) - "Faras" - scavengers - near Chinchpokli Road xix) Rua do Bazar - (Bazar Streert) -miscellaneous populatiom xx) Rua dos Tintoreiros (Dyers’ Street)- miscellaneous population ; located most probably near the Bazar xxi) Rua Baixa (Lower Street) - xxii) Bazar - mixed population - location at present Bandra Bazar All the above pakhadis (hamlets) , the Povoacao and the four localities comprise the parish of Santa Anna (Old Slaughter-house site - between the railway lines and Swami Vivekanand Road. Also belonging to the parish of Santa Anna are potters, toddy-tappers, weavers, mainatos (washermen) and other non-Koli groups/castes not ascribed to any particular pakhadi/locality. To St. Andrew’s parish pertained all the koliwadas (hamlets inhabited by Kolis) thus: i) Colaria Grande - near Chapel Road ii) Colaria de Meio - Bazar area iii} Colaria Mora - near Bandra Bunder iv) Colaria Naopara - Old Ghodbunder Road v) Colaria da Igreja - Chimbai vi) Colaria Zaitucali - north of Mount Carmel church vii) Supali - Near Supali Talao ground viii) Colai - Near Seaside Cemetery Find information on Bandra Worli Sea Link: Click Here N.B. The first six above named koliwadas are mentioned in the baptismal register of Santa Anna because some of the godparents of children/persons baptised in Santa Anna were parishioners of St. Andrew’s. 6. Fertile Fields The island of Salsette on which Bandra was located was often referred to as a granary. Dr. John Fryer who visited Salsette in 1673-75 writes :"the ground excellently fertile either of itself or by the care of the inhabitants, that it yields as good Cabbages, Coleworts and better Radishes than ever I yet saw: Besides Garden - Fruit, here are incomparable Water-Melons, and Onions as sweet, and as well tasted as an Apple; and for the natural growth of the soil, it is known not only to supply the adjoining Islands, but Goa also. It is more than 20 Miles in Length and 70 in Circumference". In Bandra itself there were extensive paddy fields, vegetable gardens and coconut 'oarts'. Besides there were mango groves on the hill-sides and brab trees in other areas. Rice was the chief crop grown in Bandra. When there was friction between the English in Bombay and the Portuguese in Salsette, "the Portuguese forbade the export of rice from Bandra" (Gazeteer, Vol. XIII, Pt. 2, pg. 478) Humbert, in his 'Catholic Bombay, Her Priests and their Training' informs us that in 1706, there was a loss suffered by St. Paul's College, Goa, due to the plague among the farmers in Bandra.

| I AM GOD Concept in Hinduism |
| "I AM GOD" CONCEPT [ http://amiahindu.com/ ] 1. When Jesus Christ said:I AM GOD, Jews misunderstood him. Jews had and still has an aversion for any one claiming to be God since Jehovah in Bible said to Moses I AM A JEALOUS GOD. To please those Jews, Roman governor Pilate crucified Jesus Christ. Pilate did not have any problem of Jesus or anyone proclaiming I AM GOD, since Rome had hundreds of gods at that time. 2. When Sufis [The Mystical Muslims] said: I AM GOD, religious fanatics killed all of them. In the 9th century, Sufi Ibn MansurAl Hallaj was dismembered for proclaiming “I AM GOD.” Nobody understood the depth of spiritual knowledge Sufis had. 3. About ten or fifteen years ago, when ShirleyMacLainesaid: I AM GOD, many went after her also. Luckily for her, she only had to deal with verbal abuses not any physical attacks. Why all these attacks on innocent people? Since people misunderstood what I AM GOD truly means in the western world. Let us analyze “I Am God” concept in detail. From where did this concept originate? It came from the Hindu belief that there is an immortal soul [ATMAN] within the material body of the man and that soul is the mirror image of God or “Paramathman”. No Hindu scriptures states body is God. There are many important mantras in Hinduism which proclaim I AM GOD concept. Aham Brahmasmi I am Brahman (Brhadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10] Meaning I AM GOD or I AM BRAHMAN. I am not the physical perishable material body but the immortal soul, Atman within the body. This Atman is indeed God. Tat Tvam Asi Thou art that (Chandogya Upanishad 6.8.7] ‘Tat Tvam Asi’ or ‘That thou art.’ You are that what we call Brahman or God. Rishi Uddalaka repeats this message a number of times when instructing his disciple Svetaketu about the nature of Reality. Prajnanam Brahma Consciousness is Brahman (Aitareya Upanishad 3.3, of Rg Veda) Ayam Atma Brahma This Self is Brahman (Mandukya Upanishad 1.2, of Atharva Veda) If one does not understand the whole story, I AM GOD statement sounds very egoistic and out right ridiculous. If you say I AM GOD in the Judaic-Christian context, I AM GOD makes no sense, where God is very personal and a separate entity altogether different from man. In you say I AM GOD in the Hindu way, that means you are saying, "The real YOU within You is indeed God and you are not the perishable material body." A------ In 66 books of the Holy Bible, THERE IS NO MENTION OF IMMORTAL SOUL. In fact, there is no word “immortal soul” anywhere in the Holy Bible. Instead it mentions a soul that can be created at birth and it can be destroyed. B------ When Jesus Christ said: I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE [JOHN 10:30 ], masses immediately denounced him for blasphemy by saying, "YOU MERE MAN CLAIM TO BE GOD [JOHN 10:33 ]. C----- Masses attacked Jesus not because he broke the Sabbath laws or showing miracles but because "HE WAS EVEN CALLING GOD HIS FATHER, MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL TO GOD [JOHN 5:18 ]. D----- Even though Christ said more than 81 times that HE IS THE SON OF MAN, by merely stating I AM GOD Jesus died on the cross. E----- Jesus Christ said I AM GOD many times indirectly. Christ also said I AM SON OF GOD indirectly. F----- Christ never said, I AM GOD in a direct answer to anyone...But he said BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS I AM. Those who heard that exploded with anger, condemning Christ for making statement of equalizing himself to God. The wrath of his enemies only grew when he said, I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE [John 10:30 ] G----- Jesus said: I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE, HE THAT COMETH TO ME SHALL NOT HUNGER, AND HE THAT BELIEVES IN ME SHALL NEVER THIRST [JOHN 6:35 ] Hindus on their part believe that there is the imperishable soul within every man and that soul is an exact reflection of God . The soul within the man is called ATMAN and the God is called PARAMATHMAN [Absolute Soul]. Of course, the ATMAN will remain captive within the body, life after life, until one realizes that HE IS NOT THE BODY BUT THE IMMORTAL SOUL WITHIN. Of course, NOBODY REALIZES GOD by just repeating I AM GOD. That has to be achieved by good actions, good thoughts and by meditation. I AM GOD statement seen in many parts of the Holy Bible. Jehovah to an inquiring Moses said, I AM WHAT I AM [Ex 3:14 ]. Jesus Christ said I AM GOD many times indirectly. He said BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS I AM. Those heard that exploded with anger, condemning Christ for making statement of equalizing himself to God. The wrath of his enemies only grew when he said, I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE [John 10:30 ] Lord Krishna said I AM GOD many times in the Bhagavad Gita. "He who sees me in everything and everything in me, to him I am never lost; nor he is lost to me " [ Gita 6:30 ] I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from me [ Gita 10:8] Everything is born of me. I am the original source of all. No one is above me [Gita 12:6,7] So, what Shirley Maclaine said is nothing knew. It was repeated in history many times. In St. Thomas gospel Christ said: "He who drinks from my mouth will become as I am and I shall be he." Through those lines Jesus Christ is telling the mankind that those who follow him will achieve Christ consciousness a | | | | |
