Study Tour to Golden
Temple at Kushalnagar
The Nine Month Course sisters of Dhyanavana had a study tour on Sunday
12, October, 2014. The day started at 6 am with a prayer in the chapel.
We boarded the hired bus for the tour, and proceeded to Dornahalli,
Mysore, Shrine of St. Anthony of Padua. We offered mass in the shrine
and visited the place where the Statue of St. Anthony was found. Fr.
Gilbert D’Silva, Rector of the shrine explained to us the history of the
shrine. Around 150 years ago when a Hindu man ploughing the field he got
a statue of St. Anthony. He didn’t know what it was. His children began
to play with it thinking it to be a doll. But in a dream a man (St.
Anthony) appeared to him and asked to built a small shrine. But the
hindu farmer neglected. Many calamities came on his family. Finally, he
contacted some foreign missionaries in Mysore and through them he came
to know that it was the statue of St. Anthony. He built a small shrine
and his family prospered. Seeing this many other Hindus also began to
pray and many miracles were witnessed. Gradually it was developed into a
world famous shrine. Now it is frequented by lakhs of people specially
during the feast.
