Notice biographique
Fr. Francis Mahieu Acharya, a native of Belgium who later became a Cistercian monk there, came to India in 1955 and founded a monastery in 1958. He was a pioneer in a rebirth of Syriac monasticism and of blending it with Indian spiritual traditions, such as the Upanishads, and was later Acharya, or "teacher" (and abbot), of the Kurisumala Ashram. They became officially a part of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (Trappists) in 1988 and follow the liturgy of the Syro-Malankara Church (a Catholic Church in communion with Roman Catholicism).
Zone du contenu et de la structure
Portée et contenu
This group of letters appears on six typed and mimeographed sheets entitled, "Lettres de Kurisumala". It is unclear to whom they are addressed. Kurisumala, literally meaning "cross mountain", is an area of southwestern India where there is a monastery, an <i>ashram</i>. It appears that one letter, the longest, is signed by a novice; another is signed C. Kuriakose; and the final one by Fr. Francis.
