New Carmelite
Hall. Blessing ceremony
at Middle Park. Over 5000 people present
at Middle Park. Over 5000 people present
A fine hall and club rooms in course of erection in Richardson
Street, Middle Park, will complete a magnificent pile of Catholic buildings in
the parish of Our Lady of Mt Carmel, and the work accomplished is highly
creditable to the Very Rev Prior Kindelan OCC, and parishioners. The new
building faces Neville Street. It is brick of two storeys, and will cost about
£7000. The spacious hall will accommodate from 900 to 1000 people, and dressing
and meetings rooms, a kitchen and supper room, and a large stage are provided.
A billiard room, reading room and other general conveniences will be on the top
floor, and the hall and rooms will be roomy, well lighted and excellently
ventilated, Mr A A Fritsch is the architect, and Mr Farr the contractor. Good
progress has been made with the building, which will be very serviceable in the
development of parochial activities.
On Sunday afternoon his Grace the Archbishop of Melbourne,
the Most Rev Dr Mannix blessed and laid the foundation stone of the hall and
club rooms, and in the ceremony he was assisted by the Very Rev. Prior Kindelan
OCC [Carmelites of the Ancient Observance, these days, O. Carm]; the Very Rev
Prior Scanlan OCC. Rev R Collins PP; Rev J Byrne, PP; Rev. F. A. Merner, PP;
Rev. W. Ganly, Rev, P. Wade, OCC.; Rev. P. O’Dwyer, OCC; and Rev. P A Maher,
OCC. A guard of honour for his Grace was provided but the HACBS, INF and CYMS.
During the afternoon the St. Vincent de Paul’s Band, under Mr Oppenheim, played
selections.
Speeches in the grounds
Subsequently addresses were delivered in the grounds, and
over 5000 people were present. The crowd stretched across the roadway, and his
Grace the Archbishop was given a great reception. The platform was well set
out, and a gay display of bunting was made, prominence being given to ‘the
banner of green.’ His Grace and the clergy took their seats on the platform to
the accompaniment of loud applause. Very Rev Prior Kindelan said he was
delighted to see such a large gathering, and he desired to extend a very
cordial welcome to his Grace the Archbishop. (Applause). The hall and
club-rooms would mean a great adjunct to the parish and supply a long-felt
need. He was pleased to say that the project was taken up enthusiastically by
the parishioners. It meant that in having a hall they would not need to look
elsewhere for buildings to hold parish entertainments in the future.
(Applause). The club-rooms would provide various forms of amusement for the
young men, and in every way the Building wound serve a very useful purpose.
(Applause). The presence of his Grace would make them all the more determined
to carry out their undertaking. (Applause). Already the Archbishop had taken
part in two other functions, and he was always ready to assist every deserving
cause. (Applause). On behalf of the large and enthusiastic gathering it gave
him very great pleasure to welcome his Grace the Archbishop. (Applause).
Mr Clarebrough in moving that a subscription list be opened,
said that the hall would be replete with convenience, and would be a great
boon, especially to the young men, for whom opportunities should be provided to
meet for social intercourse and healthy amusement. He regarded a hali as a
great blessing and benefit to any parish. (Applause). The hall would
accommodate close on a thousand people, and the rooms would be made as
comfortable as possible. He thought the whole parish was to be congratulated on
making provision for such a fine building. (Applause). They should contribute
generously for the reason that the building would serve a useful purpose, and
as an act of thanksgiving to Almighty God for the termination of the war!
(Applause.)
There was a further inducement to give in memory of the brave
men who had fallen ar the front. He hoped a record would be established in the
matter of generous giving. (Applause). Since he had come amongst them, the Very
Rev Prior Kindelan had done great work, and if they gave generously, it would
be a practical expression of their appreciation of Prior Kindelan’s labours.
(Applause). The appeal was worthy of their best support. (Applause).
Mr C. Bradley seconded the motion, and said a hall was very
desirable for the parish. The use of certain public halls had been refused to
his Grace by bigoted people, but that slight could not be put upon his Grace at
Middle Park when the parish hall was completed. (Applause). They were greatly
indebted to his Grace for his presence, and he trusted their appreciation would
take practical form by a large subscription list. (Applause). The Very Rev.
Prior Kindelan, in a characteristic speech, supported the motion, which was
unanimously carried.
The collection was generously responded to, and Prior
Kindelan read the subscription list, including the following: His Grace the
Archbishop, £20; Carmelite Fathers, Middle Park, £50; Carmelite Fathers, Port
Melbourne, £5/5/-: Very Rev W Quilter, £5/5/-; Rev Fr Ganly £5/5/-; Rev R
Collins, £5/5/-: Rev Fr Merner, £2/2/-; Rev J Byrne, £5; Sacred Heart Sodality
(Women’s Branch) £52/10/-; Altar Society, £50: C.Y.M.S. (Middle Park),
£10/10/-; Children of Mary, £10/10/-; Sacred Heart Sodality (Men’s Branch),
£7/7/-; and, Carmelite Altar Boys £5/5/-.
His Grace the Archbishop, who was received with great
enthusiasm said the hall in course of erection was worthy of the parish, and he
felt sure it would be used for very good purposes. The war was at an end, and
there was a prospect of abiding peace coming to the world after four years of
terrible strife. His Grace enlarged upon this theme, and gave examples, showing
the changeableness of public opinion. The speech was heartily applauded
throughout.
Vote of thanks
In moving a vote of thanks to his Grace the Archbishop, Mr
McCarthy said that priests and people were united in the closest ties of
affection. His Grace the Archbishop had the welfare of the community at heart,
and all right-thinking people respected and admired him. (Applause). The
Collins street daisies and a coterie of nobodies could hurl insults at his
Grace, but they could not alienate the affections of the people, who had
practical experience of the great sympathy of the Archbishop towards the
workers. (Applause). His Grace had done much for Australia, and deserved the
warm place he occupied in the hearts of the people. (Applause) Mr O’Brien
seconded, and said they were all delighted to have the Archbishop with them.
Prior Kindelan supported the
motion, which was carried amidst applause. His Grace on leaving the grounds was
cheered to the echo. Ω
Advocate, 30 November 1918, p 10.
New Carmelite
Parish Hall, Middle Park. Foundation Stone Laid
by the Archbishop. Attendance estimated at 5000
by the Archbishop. Attendance estimated at 5000
Progress is the watchword of the Very Rev Prior Kindelan,
OCC, in his flourishing parish of Middle Park, as it is of the Hierarchy and
clergy in Victoria and the other States of the Commonwealth. On last Sunday
afternoon the coping-stone was placed on the equipment of the parish, when his
Grace the Archbishop of Melbourne (the Most Rev. Dr. Mannix) blessed and laid
the foundation-stone of what will be, at completion, one of the finest parish
halls in and around Melbourne. With a venturesome trust in the bank that has
never yet been known to fail — that of Faith, Hope, and, Charity — Prior
Kindelan has signed a contract for £7000, and this substantial sum does not
include furnishing and fitting of the building, which will fully meet the
intellectual and social wants of the parish for many a year to come. Settlement
is rapidly increasing in Middle Park, and Prior Kindelan is justified in
building on a generous scale. The hall will accommodate some 1000 people. It
will be furnished on up-to-date lines. There will be a spacious gallery, and
provision will be made for giving dramatic performances, concerts, etc. There
will be billiard-rooms, spacious stage, a number of dressing rooms, large
supper-room, kitchen, etc. The building will extend from Richardson Street to
Neville Street. The architect is Mr A pz Fritsch, ARVIA, and the contractor is
Mr Farr.
Laying the foundation stone
An enormous assemblage, estimated at 5000, overflowed the
grounds, roadway, and pathway, and his Grace the Archbishop of Melbourne (the
Most Rev. Dr. Mannix) was accorded a most enthusiastic reception. The most rev.
prelate was received by the Very Rev. Prior J. A. Kindelan, OCC., and amongst
those also present were the Rev P Wade, OCC, and Rev P O’Dwyer, OCC (Middle
Park), the Very Rev Prior Scanlan, OCC, and the Rev P A Maher, OCC. (Port Melbourne),
the Rev R Collins, PP (South Melbourne) , the Rev T Byrne, PP. (St Kilda West),
the Rev F A Merner (Dandenong), the Rev William Ganly, the Rev Brother Aylward,
and others. The members of the HACB Society and the INF formed a guard of
honour, and the St Vincent de Paul Boys’ Orphanage Band, under Bandmaster G.
Oppenheim, played inspiriting music.
His Grace having robed, for the ceremony, a procession of the
Archbishop, clergy, and altar attendants, headed by the cross-bearer, proceeded
to the front of the building, the walls of which are already up to a good
height. The Archbishop blessed the stone, which was then placed in position,
the most rev. prelate declaring it ‘well and truly laid.’
The speeches
Subsequently, the Archbishop, clergy, and others proceeded to
an improvised platform, which had been gaily decorated with flags of all
nations. It was an ideal day for an outdoor ceremony—a warm sun, tempered by a
cool southerly. Each and every one seemed to be in the best of humour, and the
pleasant sallies of the Prior, as he put forth his appeal for the building
fund, elicited unfeigned merriment, in which his Grace the Archbishop, heartily
joined.
Prior Kindelan OCC welcomes the Archbishop
The Very Rev. Prior Kindelan, OCC. who was cordially received,
said he was glad to see such a huge gathering, not only of the people of
Middle, Park, but of Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, St. Kilda, and the city
of Melbourne, come to do honour to their great Archbishop — (cheers) — and to
lend a helping hand in meeting the cost of the parish hall now in course of
erection. (Applause.) They were all pleased and delighted to have his Grace the
Archbishop with them that afternoon to help them in a work which was very near
and dear to, the people of Middle Park. (Applause.) They were indebted to Fr.
Collins, of South Melbourne, for much kindness and assistance. (Applause.) He
had helped them to obviate the difficulties arising from the want of a suitable
parish hail. They were now engaged in erecting a hall that would be suitable in
every way, and which would supply a long-felt want. The literary and social
requirements of the parishioners would be fully provided for in the new hall.
(Applause.) That was, indeed, a red-letter day in Middle Park, and the presence
of his Grace the Archbishop would act as a stimulus, and would encourage them
to help along the work with enthusiasm. (Applause.)
Subscription list opened.
Generous response
Generous response
Mr. Clareborough, in moving that a subscription list be now
opened, said that they were all proud and delighted to have his Grace the
Archbishop with them that afternoon, to bless and lay the foundation-stone of
their new parish hall. (Applause.) The building would be a splendid asset for
the parishioners, and especially for the young men. (Applause.) Without a
suitable hall, where they could assemble for social and intellectual purposes,
the Catholic young men could not associate to the best advantage. Here the men,
young and old, could assemble, and they would be provided with every facility
for recreation of mind and body. There would be reading-rooms, clubrooms etc.,
and when that splendid building was completed it would be a credit to the
district. (Applause.) He would ask all present to be as generous as their means
would allow. By subscribing, they would be helping a great and noble work,
availing themselves of the opportunity to thank God for the cessation of
hostilities, and expressing their gratitude at the return, of the Anzacs.
(Applause.) They owed a deep debt of gratitude to Prior, Kindelan who, in the
course of a few years, had done splendid work in the parish for religious
education, and for the other wants of the people. (Applause.)
Mr. C. Bradley, in seconding the proposition, said he hoped
that all would give generously towards the cost of the hall, which would be the
best reply to those sectarians who would shut the public halls to Catholics
because of the presence of his Grace Archbishop Mannix. They would, he felt
confident, give with large and generous hearts, as a proof of their loyalty to
his Grace the Archbishop, and to help a worthy cause. (Applause.)
Prior Kindelan having supported the motion, the collectors
went amongst the people, and a very generous response was made. Amongst the
lengthy list of subscriptions read out by the Prior were: — The Archbishop,
£20; Carmelite Fathers (Middle Park), £50; Sacred Heart Sodality (women’s
branch), 50 guineas; Altar Society, £50; C.Y.M. Society (Middle Park),
£10/10/-; Children of Mary,, £10/10/-; Sacred Heart Society (men’s branch),
.£7/7/-; Fr W Quilter, Fr R Collins, Fr G Byrne, Fr W Ganly, Carmelite Fathers
(Port Melbourne), Carmelite altar boys, £5/5/- each; Fr F A Merner, £2/2/-.
His Grace the Archbishop, who was received with great
enthusiasm, said that the hall in course of erection was worthy of the parish,
and he felt sure it would be used for very good purposes. The war was at an
end, and there was a prospect of abiding peace coming to the world after years
of terrible strife. The Archbishop spoke at some length on this subject, and
gave more than one instance illustrative of the variation, of public opinion.
His Grace was frequently applauded during the delivery of his address, and at
the conclusion the most rev. prelate was heartily applauded.
Vote of thanks to the Archbishop
Mr. McCarthy, in proposing that a hearty vote of thanks be
accorded his Grace the Archbishop for his great kindness in coming to bless and
lay the foundation-stone of the parish hall, said they were all justly proud of
their great democratic leader, his Grace the Archbishop of Melbourne (the Most
Rev. Dr. Mannix). (Cheers.) They could afford to treat with silent contempt the
attacks on their Archbishop and clergy, and the efforts to divide priests and
people. (Applause.) Certain people failed to stand up in defence of the
Archbishop when he was unjustly attacked, but now, thanks to his Grace, we had
the University College, which, in time, would send forth men endowed with
courage and ability, to defend all that Catholics held dear and sacred. (Prolonged
applause.) The name of the great and illustrious Archbishop would be associated
for all time with the successful fight to keep Australia a free land.
(Applause.) If the two men on whom the eyes of the world, were to-day focussed,
Marshal Foch and President Wilson — (cheers)— visited these shores, there was
no man in the land with whom they would be more desirous to associate them
selves with than his Grace Arch bishop Mannix. (Vociferous cheers.) He wished
to move a hearty vote of thanks to his Grace. (Applause.)
Mr O’Brien, in seconding the motion, remarked that they all
felt extremely pleased to have their great Archbishop with them that day. His
Grace was held in the highest respect and esteem by all fair-minded men.
(Applause.)
Prior Kindelan put the motion, and it was carried with
tremendous enthusiasm.
His Grace having briefly acknowledged the compliment, the
proceedings, which were characterised, from start to finish, by great
enthusiasm, were brought to a successful close.
The secretarial duties were carried out by Mr. Frank Wrigley.
Pressure on our space compels us to hold over a detailed description of what
the building will be when completed. Ω

Hazrat Inayat Khan: The Mysticism of Sound and Music (1)
On Tuesday the 16th of
October, Susan Southall gave a presentation to the Spiritual Reading Group on
the life and work of the Sufi writer and musician Hazrat Inayat Khan
(1882-1927). Here is her paper, while in a separate post you will find the
quotes from his book ‘The Mysticism of Sound and Music’ (Shambhala, 1996) used
by the Group for discussion.
Hazrat Inayat Khan was born in 1882 in
Baroda, then a princely state in what is now Gujarat, India. He came from a
family that was intensely musical. His father descended from an ancient family
of feudal landowners who were Sufi saints, poets, and musicians. His mother was
the daughter of Sholay Khan Maulabakhsh, one of India’s greatest musicians at
that time, who travelled throughout India and was given princely rank by the
Maharajah of Mysore.
Their home in Baroda was the centre of
an extended family that contributed so significantly to musical culture in
Baroda that it brought together not only Muslim, but Brahmin and Parsi families
as well: this intellectual development was important to Inayat Khan in his
exposure to different religious traditions.
Inayat
Khan was what is known today as a gifted child. His musical skill was so
advanced that before the age of twenty he became a full professor at the
Gayanshala academy of music founded by his grandfather in 1886 (now the Baroda
University Faculty of Music). He had written his first book on music at the age
of fourteen, and at age nine, he sang a famous Sanskrit hymn at a court
ceremony, winning a reward from the Maharajah for his performance.
The
title Hazrat is an Arabic honorific used in India for high officials, royalty,
and clergy. Literally ‘Presence’ it corresponds to ‘Your Honour’, ‘Your
Excellency’, ‘Your Majesty’ or ‘Your Holiness’. The 25 Prophets of the Koran,
such Muhamad, Jesus, Moses and so on, may be described by their names as Hazrat
Moses, for example. Hazrat Inayat Khan has a princely background and is also a
religious teacher. Imams may be addressed as Hazrat. He may be understood as
not so much elite as superior: he comes from a high level of society and he has
added to this by his personal accomplishments and qualities.
His
personality as a child was lively and intelligent, but he was also marked by
deep reflection and questioning about God, nature, truth and morality. The tragedy
of family deaths marked his youth: he lost his grandfather — the famous
musician Maulabakhsh — his younger brother, and his beloved mother all before
he was twenty. Thereupon Inayat Khan began to travel.
The
life of famous musicians, even today, is often marked by travel. Inayat Khan
began by going to Madras and Mysore, places where his grandfather had won fame,
and had success there, returning home as a poet, publishing then a book of his
poems in various Indian languages. He soon took his grandfather’s style of
music to the centre of Moghul traditional culture, Hyderabad, where he moved in
musical circles and wrote his final book on music, explaining his grandfather’s
musical style for Urdu readers.
He
was introduced at the court of His Exalted Highness Nizam Mahbub Ali Khan. When
the ruler of Hyderabad asked about his music, Inayat Khan replied that his
music is his religion, because sound is mysterious, and knowledge of sound
through music reveals the secrets of the universe. His thought is music, his
feeling is music, his emotion creates beauty which leads to ‘the harmony which
unites souls in God.’
In
Hyderabad, he met his teacher of Arabic and Persian literature, Maulana
Hashimi, who saw in him a mystic developing into a Sufi Pir, a religious
master. In the Sufi tradition, a spiritual guide or Murshid is required to
bring a disciple to initiation into the mystical order as a follower of the
Sufi path to God. For Inayat Khan, the Murshid he met in Hyderabad, Syed
Muhammad Hashim Madani, although an Arab by background, came of the
specifically Indian order of Chishtiyya Sufis. As with Rumi and his beloved
guide and mentor Shams of Tabriz, the relationship of teacher and disciple was
devoted and close. The ideal in Sufi teaching is for rapturous study of God
through the Murshid, and the songs and poems Inayat Khan wrote in honour of his
master testify to ‘the joy and exaltation’ he felt through this relationship
until his mentor died in 1908.[i]
According
to Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, “Just before Hazrat Sayyid Abu Hashim Madani died …
he directed Pir-O-Murshid Inayat Khan, his successor, to go to the West and
attune the hearts of the people to the music of the soul. At that time my
father was a renowned Indian musician; he gave up a career in music for the
sake of the work he had been given to found the Sufi Order in the West.”[ii]
Inayat
Khan then left Hyderabad and travelled throughout India, Ceylon and Rangoon,
concentrating on perfecting his music and developing the process of the
spiritual life, described as annihilation of the ego and resurrection to finding
‘the essence of being’. In 1910, he left the feudal life of India for the
United States, accompanied by his brothers and cousins who were his disciples
already.
His
life as a Sufi in the West was then unusual. In 1912 he travelled widely in
Europe and Russia, giving concerts of Indian music and lecturing; he also
married an American, Ora Ray Baker (Amina Begum) and the couple eventually had
four children. They settled in France, but lived in London throughout World War
I, from 1914-1920. It was in London that
the Sufi Order was arranged, having a headquarters there where initiates could
be trained and lectures, courses, and concerts were given. By this time there
were national branches in various countries: in 1920 the headquarters moved to
Geneva, while the family moved back to France and lived near Paris.[iii]
Of
his four children, his two sons became heads of the Sufi Order in their turn,
while one of his daughters, Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan, was a heroine of the
French Resistance in WWII. As a British agent, she was a wireless operator in
France when she was captured, interrogated by the Gestapo, tortured and executed
in Dachau, without giving information to the Germans. She was posthumously
awarded the George Cross. [iv] The
role of a woman in Mughal nobility was ‘to live her religious faith, and to
live and represent, and so perpetuate, her ancestral standards and values’[v] so
therefore ‘one could never take a great lady’s name in any personal sense’, as
‘discussing women, and especially high-born ladies, with others, was
disrespectful and so, offensive … Divulging one’s actual name, rather than
one’s alias, degree or title for public purposes was shocking, breaching
accepted conventions. . Even the deliberate shortening of names out of
reverence, although grammatically faulty — such as Inayat Khan for Inayat Allah
Khan — contained something of that dissimulation of the “real” name’ (even for
men). So, the book published about Noorunnisa under the title of her code-name
Madeline caused problems for the family. His other daughter Khair-un-Nisa is
not written about so and has fulfilled the tradition of Mughal women remaining
obscure.
Inayat
Khan worked intensively as teacher, lecturer, performer and administrator of
the Sufi Order, until his death in 1927 on a return visit to India, where he
had visited the most famous Sufi shrine, the tomb of Khwaja Mu’inuddin Chishti,
with its serene atmosphere and sacred music. He caught a fatal chill in this
place, and died at Delhi 0n 5th February, 1927.[vi]
The beginning of the 20th century
brought movements in art, religion, music and philosophy that we are still
dealing with today. Inayat Khan shares a birth year with Stravinsky and Joyce. Major
events circle around the year 1910, when Inayat Khan was sent to the West.
Daighilev’s Ballet Russes performed Stravinsky’s Firebird in the Paris 1910 season, bringing new colour and excitement
to the stage. Schonberg produced his Theory
of Harmony in that year, and Pierrot
Lunaire, with its expressionist Sprechstimme
in 1912, and began to explore atonal music. The boy Krishnamurti came to
the attention of the Theosophical Society in 1909.
Picasso
painted Les Demoiselles d’Avignon in
1907 and 1909-1912 made the break with traditional perspective that would lead
to cubism. Matisse in 1907-1913 was exploring his Wild Beast (Fauve) colourism,
including orientalism during his time in Algeria 1906. In literature, Joyce
began writing Ulysses in 1914. Gertrude Stein was producing experimental
writings and stream of consciousness, including automatic writing with William
James, who has already described the mystical experience in 1902 in Varieties of Religious Experience.
While
James is a pragmatist, who believes that truth is best measured by practical
results (a viewpoint particularly appropriate today), Freud went about founding
the International Psychoanalytical Movement in 1910. His book on religion, Totem and Taboo, was published in
1913.Wittgenstein was in Cambridge with Bertrand Russell during this period:
his notes written during WWI will become the Tractatus, striving for a new understanding of language.
There
are many other examples of this extremely fruitful period. New sounds, new
sights, new thoughts and understandings are coming into the West, and some of
these arise in other cultures: Russia, North Africa, and India.
For
Inayat Khan, musicianship early ‘ranked only and uniquely with sainthood and
nobility’: it is his ‘specific firm ground from which to move the world.’[vii]
There you have his background as a whole: feudal owners of lands, properties,
honours, and titles; Sufi mystics; courtly and gentlemanly musicians. The
Mughal heritage identified as ‘the highest, most humane mode and standard of
life’ or ‘humanity’ for India became through Inayat Khan universalism. Where
his grandfather attained princely rank, Inayat Khan reached even higher,
becoming a ‘God-realised mystic.’[viii]
