text:
Sampradaya (; ), in Indian origin religions, namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, can be translated as 'tradition', 'spiritual lineage', 'sect', or 'religious system'. To ensure continuity and transmission of dharma, various sampradayas have the Guru-shishya parampara in which parampara or lineage of successive gurus (masters) and shishyas (disciples) serves as a spiritual channel and provides a reliable network of relationships that lends stability to a religious identity. Shramana is vedic term for seeker or shishya. Identification with and followership of sampradayas is not static, as sampradayas allows flexibility where one can leave one sampradaya and enter another or practice religious syncretism by simultaneously following more than one sampradaya. Samparda is a punjabi language term, used in Sikhism, for sampradayas.

Guru-shishya parampara

Sampradayas are living traditions of both teaching and practice within a specific religious-spiritual tradition. They are generally composed of a monastic order within a specific guru lineage, with ideas developed and transmitted, redefined and reviewed by each successive generation of followers. A particular guru lineage is called parampara. By receiving diksha (initiation) into the parampara of a living guru, one belongs to its proper sampradaya.

To ensure continuity through dharma transmission, various smapardayas ensure continuity through Guru-shishya parampara where Guru teaches shishyas in gurukula, matha, akhara, and viharas. Buddhism also has lineage of gurus. Tibetan Buddhism has lineage of Lamas who teach in gompas and stupas.

Continuity of sampradaya

Sampradaya is a body of practice, views and attitudes, which are transmitted, redefined and reviewed by each successive generation of followers. Participation in sampradaya forces continuity with the past, or tradition, but at the same time provides a platform for change from within the community of practitioners of this particular traditional group.

Diksha: Initiation into sampradaya

A particular guru lineage in guru-shishya tradition is called parampara, and may have its own akharas and gurukulas. By receiving diksha (initiation) into the parampara of a living guru, one belongs to its proper sampradaya. One cannot become a member by birth, as is the case with gotra, a seminal, or hereditary, dynasty.

Authority on knowledge of truth

Membership in a sampradaya not only lends a level of authority to one's claims on truth in Hindu traditional context, but also allows one to make those claims in the first place. An often quoted verse from the Padma Purana states:

And another verse states:

As Wright and Wright put it,

Nevertheless, there are also examples of teachers who were not initiated into a sampradaya, Ramana Maharshi being a well-known example. A sannyasin belonging to the Sringeri Sharada Peetham once tried to persuade Ramana to be initiated into sannyasa, but Ramana refused.

Types of sampradayas

Āstika and nāstika sampradayas

Since ancient times, Indian philosophy has been categorized into āstika and nāstika schools of thought.

Āstika and nāstika concept in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain scriptures define Astika as those sampradayas which believe in the existence of Atman (Self) and those who accept supremacy of vedas, Nastika being those who deny there is any "Self" in human beings or do not hold vedas as supreme. In modern context, Astika are also defined as theists and Nastika as atheist. In Indian origin religion, even atheism is also considered as acceptable, specially under the concept of Sarva Dharma Sama Bhava. The concept of acceptable or valid Dharma excludes the Mleccha (impure) who are considered without the purity of ethics and code of conduct called yamas and niyama.

Sampradayas of Indian-origin religions have own Darshana or philosophy, encompassing world views and teachings. Six Astika or orthodox sampradayas which believe in supremacy of veda are called shad-darśana (lit. six system), namely Sankhya, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Mimamsa and Vedanta.

Various sampradayas, including sampradayas which are considered nastika and valid or permissible, are distinct schools of philosophy with own doctrine on the above concepts.

Āstika or orthodox sampradayas

Astika or orthodox sampradayas or schools of Indian philosophy have been called ṣaḍdarśana ("six systems"). This scheme was created between the 12th and 16th centuries by Vedantins. It was then adopted by the early Western Indologists, and pervades modern understandings of Indian philosophy. Each of six āstika (orthodox) schools of thought is called a darśana, and each darśana accepts the Vedas as authority. Each astika darsana also accepts the premise that Atman (soul, eternal self) exists. The  schools of philosophy are:
 Samkhya – An strongly dualist theoretical exposition of consciousness and matter.  Agnostic with respect to God or the gods.
 Yoga – A monotheistic school which emerged from Sankhya and emphasizes practical use of Sankhya theory: meditation, contemplation and liberation.
 Nyāya or logic – The school of epistemology which explores sources of knowledge.
 Vaiśeṣika – An empiricist school of atomism.
 Mīmāṃsā – An anti-ascetic and anti-mysticist school of orthopraxy. This school deals with the correct interpretation of the verses in Vedas.
 Vedānta – The last segment of knowledge in the Vedas, or jñānakāṇḍa (section of knowledge). Vedanta is also referred as Uttara-Mimamsa. Vedānta came to be the dominant current of Hinduism in the post-medieval period.

In Astika, the Brahman is ultimate reality, which is both with and without attributes. In this context, Para Brahman is formless and omniscient Ishvara - the god or Paramatman and Om, where as Saguna Brahman is manifestation or avatara of god in personified form. Ātman is ultimate metaphysical reality or consciousness which can be attained by the self-actualisation, and Maya is perceived physical reality. Knowledge and proof of these can be obtained through various types of pramana (Sanskrit: प्रमाण). Each smapardayas uses these pramana or their subset.

Nastika sampradayas

Nastika or hetrodox sampradayas do not accept the authority of the Vedas are nāstika philosophies, of which four  (heterodox) schools are prominent:
 Ājīvika, a materialism school that denied the existence of free will.
 Cārvāka, a materialism school that accepted the existence of free will.
 Buddhism, a philosophy that denies existence of ātman (soul, self) and is based on the teachings and enlightenment of Gautama Buddha.
 Jainism, a philosophy that accepts the existence of the ātman (soul, self), and is based on the teachings and enlightenment of twenty-four teachers known as tirthankaras, with Rishabha as the first and Mahavira as the twenty-fourth.

Polycentric or syncretic sampradayas

Some are syncretic in nature which might adopt mixture of concepts from orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy such as realism of the Nyāya, naturalism of Vaiśeṣika, monism and knowledge of Self (Atman) as essential to liberation of Advaita, self-discipline of Yoga, asceticism and elements of theistic ideas. Some sub-schools share Tantric ideas with those found in some Buddhist traditions. The above sub-schools introduced their own ideas while adopting concepts from orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy such as realism of the Nyāya, naturalism of Vaiśeṣika, monism and knowledge of Self (Atman) as essential to liberation of Advaita, self-discipline of Yoga, asceticism and elements of theistic ideas.[13] Some sub-schools share Tantric ideas with those found in some Buddhist traditions.[16]

Hindu sampradayas

Hindus subscribe to a diversity of ideas on spirituality and traditions, but have no ecclesiastical order, no unquestionable religious authorities, no governing body, no prophet(s) nor any binding holy book; Hindus can choose to be polytheistic, pantheistic, monotheistic, monistic, agnostic, atheistic or humanist.

Hinduism is subdivided into a number of major sampradayas. Of the historical division into six darsanas (philosophies), two schools, Vedanta and Yoga, are currently the most prominent. Classified by primary deity or deities, four major Hinduism modern currents are Vaishnavism (Vishnu), Shaivism (Shiva), Shaktism (Shakti) and Smartism (five deities treated as same). These deity-centered denominations feature a synthesis of various philosophies such as Samkhya, Yoga and Vedanta, as well as shared spiritual concepts such as moksha, dharma, karma, samsara, ethical precepts such as ahimsa, texts (Upanishads, Puranas, Mahabharata, Agamas), ritual grammar and rites of passage.

Vaishnava sampradayas

According to the Padma Purāṇa, one of the eighteen main Purāṇas, there are four Vaishnava sampradāyas, which preserve the fruitful mantras:

During the Kali Yuga these sampradāyas appear in the holy place of Jaganatha Puri, and purify the entire earth.

Each of them were inaugurated by a deity, who appointed heads to these lineages:

Other major Vaishnav sampradaya are:

 Swaminarayan Sampradaya, founded in 1801 by Swaminarayan
 Pranami Sampradaya
 Radha Vallabh Sampradaya
 Mahanam Sampraday
 Warkari tradition
 Haridasi tradition
 Sadh Vaishnavism
 Manipuri Vaishnavism
 Samartha Sampradaya

Shaivite sampradayas

There are three main Shaiva sampradayas known as "Kailasa Parampara" (Lineage from Kailash)- Nandinatha Sampradaya, Adinath Sampradaya and Meykanda Sampradaya.

The Nandinatha Sampradaya traces its beginning to at least 200 BCE. Its founder and first known spiritual preceptor was the Maharshi Nandinatha. Nandinatha is said to have initiated eight disciples (Sanatkumar, Sanakar, Sanadanar, Sananthanar, Shivayogamuni, Patanjali, Vyaghrapada, and Tirumular) and sent them to various places to spread the teachings of non-dualistic Shaivism all over the world. Saiva Siddhanta Temple of Hawaii identifies itself as principle Matha or monestory of lineage . Spiritual lineage of the Nandinatha Sampradaya : Maharishi Nandinath→ Tirumular→→→ unknown→Kadaitswami→  Chellappaswami→ Siva Yogaswami→Sivaya Subramuniyaswami → Bodhinatha Veylanswami

Tamil Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy is known as the descendant from the teaching of Sanatkumara, one of the Kumaras.(Sanatkumara→Satyanjana Darshini→Paranjyoti rishi→Meykandar.

Aghori and Nath are shavite.

Nandinatha and Meykandar Sampradayas are associated with the Shaiva Siddhanta while Adinath Sampradaya is associated with Nath Shaivism. Other popular Saivite sampradayas are Veerashaiva Samprdaya, Lingayat Sampradaya and Srouta Sampradaya

Advaita Vedanta sampradaya

Advaita Mathas

Adi Sankara founded four  (Sanskrit: ) (monasteries) to preserve and develop his philosophies. One each in the north, south, east and west of the Indian subcontinent, each headed by one of his direct disciples.

According to Nakamura, these mathas contributed to the influence of Shankara, which was "due to institutional factors". The mathas which he built exist until today, and preserve the teachings and influence of Shankara, "while the writings of other scholars before him came to be forgotten with the passage of time".

The table below gives an overview of the four Amnaya Mathas founded by Adi Shankara, and their details.

The current heads of the mathas trace their authority back to these figures, and each of the heads of these four mathas takes the title of Shankaracharya ("the learned Shankara") after Adi Sankara.

According to the tradition in Kerala, after Sankara's samadhi at Vadakkunnathan Temple, his disciples founded four mathas in Thrissur, namely Naduvil Madhom, Thekke Madhom, Idayil Madhom and Vadakke Madhom.

Dashanami sampradaya

Dashanami Sampradaya, "Tradition of Ten Names", is a Hindu monastic tradition of ēkadaṇḍi sannyasins (wandering renunciates carrying a single staff) generally associated with the Advaita Vedanta tradition. They are distinct in their practices from the Saiva Tridaṇḍi sannyāsins or "trident renunciates", who continue to wear the sacred thread after renunciation, while ēkadaṇḍi sannyāsins do not.

The Ekadandi Vedāntins aim for moksha as the existence of the self in its natural condition indicated by the destruction of all its specific qualities. Any Hindu, irrespective of class, caste, age or gender can seek sannyāsa as an Ekadandi monk under the Dasanāmi tradition.

The Ekadandis or Dasanāmis had established monasteries in India and Nepal in ancient times. After the decline of Buddhism, a section of the Ekadandis were organized by Adi Shankara in the 8th century in India to be associated with four maṭhas to provide a base for the growth of Hinduism. However, the association of the Dasanāmis with the Sankara maṭhas remained nominal. Professor Kiyokazu Okita and Indologist B. N. K. Sharma says, Sannyasis in the lineage of Advaita of Adi Shankara and the Sannyasis in the lineage of Dvaita of Madhvacharya are all Ēkadaṇḍis.

Kaumaram sampradaya

Kaumaram is a sect of Hindus, especially found in South India and Sri Lanka where Lord Muruga Karttikeya is the Supreme Godhead. Lord Muruga is considered superior to the Trimurti. The worshippers of Lord Muruga are called Kaumaras.

Indonesian Hinduism

Hinduism dominated the island of Java and Sumatra until the late 16th century, when a vast majority of the population converted to Islam. Only the Balinese people who formed a majority on the island of Bali, retained this form of Hinduism over the centuries. Theologically, Balinese or Indonesian Hinduism is closer to Shaivism than to other major sects of Hinduism. The adherents consider Acintya the supreme god, and all other gods as his manifestations.

The term "Agama Hindu Dharma", the endonymous Indonesian name for "Indonesian Hinduism" can also refer to the traditional practices in Kalimantan, Sumatra, Sulawesi and other places in Indonesia, where people have started to identify and accept their agamas as Hinduism or Hindu worship has been revived. The revival of Hinduism in Indonesia has given rise to a national organisation, the Parisada Hindu Dharma.

Shakta sampradaya

There are 2 Shakta Sampradayas, which revere Shakti - the feminine manifestation of Ishvara. They are as follows:

 Kalikula: Prevalent in Bengal, Assam, Nepal & Odisha. Primary deity is Kali
 Srikula: Prevalent in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Telangana, Karnataka & Sri Lanka. Primary deity is Lalita Devi

Smarta Sampradaya

Smarta Sampradaya (स्मार्त), developed around the beginning of the Common Era, reflects a Hindu synthesis of four philosophical strands: Mimamsa, Advaita, Yoga, and theism. The Smarta tradition rejects theistic sectarianism, and it is notable for the domestic worship of five shrines with five deities, all treated as equal – Shiva, Vishnu, Surya, Ganesha, and Shakti. The Smarta tradition contrasted with the older Shrauta tradition, which was based on elaborate rituals and rites. There has been considerable overlap in the ideas and practices of the Smarta tradition with other significant historic movements within Hinduism, namely Shaivism, Brahmanism, Vaishnavism, and Shaktism. Even though Smarta sampradaya regards Adi Shankara as its founder or reformer, advaita sampradaya is not a Shaiva sect, despite the historical links with Shaivism: Advaitins are non-sectarian, and they advocate worship of Shiva and Vishnu equally with that of the other deities of Hinduism, like Sakti, Ganapati and others. Shankara championed that the ultimate reality is impersonal and Nirguna (attributeless) and that any symbolic god serves the same equivalent purpose. Inspired by this belief, the Smarta tradition followers, along with the five Hindu gods include a sixth impersonal god in their practice. The tradition has been described by William Jackson as "advaitin, monistic in its outlook".

Other classic vedic sampradayas

Shrautism

Shrauta communities are very rare in India, the most well known being the ultra-orthodox Nambudiri Brahmins of Kerala. They follow the "Purva-Mimamsa" (earlier portion of Vedas) in contrast to Vedanta followed by other Brahmins. They place importance on the performance of Vedic Sacrifice (Yajna). The Nambudiri Brahmins are famous for their preservation of the ancient Somayaagam, Agnicayana rituals which have vanished in other parts of India.

Suryaism / Saurism

The Suryaites or Sauras are followers of a Hindu denomination that started in Vedic tradition, and worship Surya as the main visible form of the Saguna Brahman. The Saura tradition was influential in South Asia, particularly in the west, north and other regions, with numerous Surya idols and temples built between 800 and 1000 CE. The Konark Sun Temple was built in mid 13th century. During the iconoclasm of Islamic invasions and Hindu–Muslim wars, the temples dedicated to Sun-god were among those desecrated, images smashed and the resident priests of Saura tradition were killed, states André Wink. The Surya tradition of Hinduism declined in the 12th and 13th century CE and today remains as a very small movement except in Bihar / Jharkhand and Eastern Uttar Pradesh.  Sun worship has continued to be a dominant practice in Bihar / Jharkhand and Eastern Uttar Pradesh in the form of Chhath Puja which is considered the primary festival of importance in these regions.

Later sampradayas

Ganapatism

Ganapatism is a Hindu denomination in which Lord Ganesha is worshipped as the main form of the Saguna Brahman. This sect was widespread and influential in the past and has remained important in Maharashtra.

Buddhist sampradaya

Buda sampradaya or Buddha sampradaya is a classification based on the observance of Dutch ethnographers of Brahmana caste of Balinese Hinduism into two: Siwa and Buda. The other castes were similarly further sub-classified by these 19th-century and early-20th-century ethnographers based on numerous criteria ranging from profession, endogamy or exogamy or polygamy, and a host of other factors in a manner similar to castas in Spanish colonies such as Mexico, and caste system studies in British colonies such as India. This concept of Budha Sampradaya could be applied to all Buddhist communities.

Sikh samprada

Panj Samprada - early sampardayas

Panj Samparda is the collective name for the following five early sampradayas in early Sikhism0 soon after the death of Guru Gobind Singh

Akaali Nihangs - typically viewed as the armed forces of the Sikh Panth. As institutionalised by Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Guru. Within this order there are the two main ones: Buddha Dal - army of elders, and Tarna Dal - army of youth. Connected to these two are several smaller sub-orders. Buddha Dal holds authority in all matters concerning the Akaali Nihang order - the president of Buddha Dal was previously always also the president of the Akaal Takht, the highest temporal authority of the Sikh Panth. Technically the sect belongs to the Sahibzada (son) of the 10th Guru, Baba Fateh Singh.

Nirmalas - used to act as scholars for the Sikh Panth. Traditionally studying a vast array of Indic and some non-Indic literature, as well as producing texts. They also engage in dialogue and discourse with other Dharmik paths. Were institutionalised by the 10th Guru also. There are two Nirmala orders: Bhai Daya Singh Ji Samparda & Bhai Dharam Singh Ji Samparda - who were two of the Panj Pyare or beloved ones of the 10th Guru. With these two orders there are further sub-orders. Still exist today.

Udasi - an ascetic order who were traditionally caretakers of Gurdwaras and involved in missionary work. Certain practises of theirs diverge from mainstream Sikh belief although they do not promote this to others. The order was started by Baba Sri Chand, the eldest Sahibzada (son) of the 1st Guru, Guru Nanak. Baba Sri Chand is their Gurdev/Ustadh. Still exist today.

Sevapanthis - philanthropists, involved in helping others or doing seva - free service without expectation of reward. They are also engaged in scholarly work. The order was first headed by Bhai Kahnaiya, a Sikh of the 10th Guru - who famously helped wounded enemy soldiers during war time by providing medical care. Hardly exist today.

Gyaaniyan Samparda - the university of Sikhi, whilst technically not an order, it essentially serves as one. Made up from individuals belonging to all of the above sects. Many branches within this order.

Some assert that the original Sikh learning institution, known as Damdami Taksal, is the Giani Samparda itself, but this is debatable and Taksal Beliefs are almost the exact same as Nirmale & there are disputes as to whether the current Damdami Taksal can factually trace its lineage back to Baba Deep Singh.

Later sampardayas

Later sects which emerged in Sikhism are Namdhari, Nirankari, and Radha Soami.

Syncretic sects

Ravidasiya sect combines practices of Sikhism and Hinduism.

Tokyo is Japan's capital and it is also one of the world's three largest financial centers other than New York and London. It has a total number of 35 million residents and is currently the world's most populous metropolitan area. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Originally known as Edo but after the Meiji Restoration, it had changed to its present name and became the capital of Japan. With the continuous influence as the hub in terms of politics, economy, culture and transportation in Japan, Tokyo is always playing an important role in the world.
In a smaller scale, Shinjuku is the city's most prosperous regions. In addition to an important commercial and tourist district, the city is also a transportation hub of Tokyo. Shinjuku has an extreme mix of cultures with the noble business district and concentrated in department stores such as Mitsukoshi , Isetan and Marui on one side and the famous red-light district Kabukicho on the other.
Furthermore, Tokyo's iconic status in the fashion industry has attracted numerous numbers of fashion lovers and as a result, Tokyo has become a shopping paradise in Asia. At the same time, the city still retains many historical monuments and plays as a role model in preserving the urban coexistence of old and new. Thus, it is a good place to visit ancient Japanese architecture.
Tokyo lie in the humid subtropical climate zone with hot humid summers and generally mild winters with cool spells. Annual rainfall averages nearly 1,530 millimeters, with a wetter summer and a drier winter. Tokyo also often sees typhoons each year, though few are strong. Snowfall is sporadic, but does occur almost annually.
Tokyo is the largest domestic and international hub for rail, ground, and air transportation in Japan. Public transportation within Tokyo is dominated by trains and subways run by a variety of operators, with buses, monorails and trams playing a secondary feeder role. JR East operates Tokyo's largest railway network, including the Yamanote Line loop that circles the center of downtown Tokyo. Two different organizations operate the subway network: the private Tokyo Metro and the governmental Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation. The metropolitan government and private carriers operate bus routes and one tram route. Other transportation includes taxis operating in the special wards and the cities and towns. Also long-distance ferries serve the islands of Tokyo and carry passengers and cargo to domestic and foreign ports.
The Tsukiji Market is located in Tsukiji in central Tokyo, between the Sumida River and the upmarket Ginza shopping district. Marine products sections are set up in three markets: Tsukiji, Ohta and Adachi. Above all Tsukiji Market is one of the biggest markets in the world. While the inner wholesale market has restricted access to visitors, the outer retail market, restaurants and associated restaurant supply stores remain a major tourist attraction for both domestic and overseas visitors. Around the market, there are plenty of seafood stalls and sushi shop; they are the best and freshest fish you will ever taste.
Although sushi and tempura are the signature dishes of Japanese food, but the popularity of Ramen cannot be neglected.

Sensō-ji is Tokyo's oldest Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Tokyo. Sensoji Temple is always on the must-visit list in Tokyo and visitors are bound to take pictures with the main gate lantern. During World War II, the temple was bombed and destroyed. It was rebuilt later and is a symbol of rebirth and peace to the Japanese people. Within the temple is a quiet contemplative garden kept in the distinctive Japanese style.
Tokyo Disneyland has long been the most popular attraction to family travelers with children. It was the first theme park in Asia founded by Walt Disney Company .There are seven themed areas in the park. Throughout the year, colorful parade, shows and firework celebration are scheduled.

Taking the first step of signing up for a marathon, 5K, 10K or even a popular themed race can seem like a challenge for a lot of people. Imagine facing that mountain while living with muscular dystrophy (MD) where fear, self-doubt and pain are all reasons to give up. After coming to terms with where I was physically and emotionally with my MD, I decided enough was enough.
No one wins by shrinking back in the face of a challenge, and I knew neither would I. I realized it was time for me to not just endure the process of being diagnosed with muscular dystrophy but to fight back. I decided to take the initiative to learn everything I could about my condition and find the resources that could help me. I started to receive referrals from my community and doctors about getting connected with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), and that's exactly what I did.
Just a few months ago I completed my second annual MDA Walk at Boston Commons. The first time I participated as a speaker and a ribbon cutter, but I knew this year would be even more special. Completing this walk wasn't just about bragging rights — it was also about raising awareness and funds and connecting with people who face similar struggles as I do. It allowed me to meet so many people, make new friends and opened the door to many opportunities. I was so happy to raise $1,500 for the organization, but everything I have gained over the last two years has far exceeded any dollar amount.
If I didn't have the help and support of my family and friends through my journey with MD, I wouldn't have made it this far. I'm here to let you know you don't have to travel this road alone. As the Massachusetts State Ambassador for MDA I want to give you a little nudge. If you're thinking about participating or getting connected with an organization that can possibly help you cope with whatever chronic illness you may face, I encourage you to take the first step! Take a deep breath, look yourself in the mirror and remind that beautiful face staring back at you that, "You are not alone. You are worth the effort. There are hundreds of people just like you who are looking for answers."There are so many new connections and relationships out there waiting for you on the other side of having a chronic illness.
It is possible to live a meaningful and fulfilling life with MD. Whether you link up with a local organization, find the courage to finally come to terms with whatever you may be battling or if you just need to know you're not alone on this journey, I'm here to tell you again… take that first step! I remember what it was like to be diagnosed, to be in denial and to not want to deal with what was happening to my body. But guess what? I didn't let MD get in the way of living a purpose-filled and impact-focused life.
I encourage you to talk with your doctor and sign up for that walk, whatever or wherever it may be. Join the local organization that specializes in providing resources for what you need, and don't be afraid to share your journey along the way. It started with a registration form for me, but walking into my purpose was only possible after I took that first step.

Copy of the happenings in San Sebastián de Garabandal
on January 27, 1962—reported by Fr. Valentín
"At 6:05 in the evening, Mari Cruz and Loli were at the place called the cuadro. After praying a few Our Fathers they fell into ecstasy, went toward the Church and stayed there for a minute, giving medals to be kissed that had been given to them. Afterwards, they went toward Mari Cruz's house and took a crucifix and gave it to those who were in the house to kiss.
Then they went to Conchita's house and the gave the crucifix to all who were there except one woman. They left the house and returned immediately to give it to the woman they had missed. It ended at 8:30 P.M.
Conchita entered into ecstasy in her house at 6:30 in the evening, and she went toward the Church where she gave the vision medals and rosaries to be kissed that had been given to her. She then returned the items to their owners without making any mistakes. It ended at 8:30P.M.
Mari Loli's second apparition, according to what they inform me (I was in bed) began at 2 in the morning and ended at 2:30 A.M. Before, while in the natural state, they had told the girl that there was a painter there named Señor Calderón, who wanted to paint the Virgin. During the vision the girl said: "There is a painter here who wants to paint you, but you are so beautiful that no matter what he paints, it will be ugly in comparison."

The Crisis of the Priesthood
By Fr J. Pelletier A.A.
Many Cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls with them." Even in the middle of 1965, this declaration made by Our Lady at Garabandal to Conchita, the main seer, came like a bombshell and caused much consternation. People reacted to it as Our Lord's contemporaries reacted to His announcement about the Eucharist and the eating of His body and drinking of His blood: "This sort of talk is hard to endure! How can anyone take it seriously?" John 7:60.
For some time now, in my constant gathering of new information on the revelations at Garabandal, I have come to a clearer understanding of the main reason why Our Lady came to Garabandal and better insight into the heart of the message that she brought to the world in that humble, Spanish mountain village.
We could say that one of the principal reasons Our Lady revealed herself in visions to the four seers from 1961 to 1965. was the crisis of the Church. With equal truth we could say it was the crisis of the priesthood. For this crisis at the very heart of the crisis of the Church. As goes the priesthood, so goes the Church.
Therefore it seems evident that the urgent concern of Our Blessed Mother, as she spoke with the four girls at Garabandal, was the crisis of the priesthood and the way to deal with that crisis. She spoke more of the priest, his problems and needs, than of any other single topic, with the possible exception of the rosary Other things that she spoke of frequently, such as prayer and sacrifice, she more often related to priests than to any other subject. She was continually asking the girls to pray and make sacrifices for priests.
A Simple Message - Hard to Accept
Our Lady came with a simple, forthright message for the renewal of the Church through the renewal of the priesthood. The means she proposed for this renewal were prayer and sacrifice. In essence, her message was the basic Christian message of redemption through the cross, the constant need of the Church, particularly in times of crises, for atonement and reparation. It is one of the hardest messages for us to accept.
It is significant that the time of Our Lady's visits to Garabandal coincided with the preparation and various sessions of Vatican II. Likewise, the purpose of her coming coincided with that of the Council, namely. the renewal of the Church.
The message of atonement, of prayer and sacrifice or penance, was a very important part of what Our Lady told us at Lourdes and Fatima, but there it was aimed at sinners in general and not so specifically at priests, as it was in Garabandal. Because penance runs counter to our nature, it is the part of heavenly messages that is always least heeded. This is true of Garabandal as it is of Lourdes and Fatima. It is most unfortunate but explains why these events have not borne the fruit - conversion and return to God and the blessings of peace which flow from this - that heaven was seeking.
A Sense of Urgency
It is important to show the tremendous emphasis Our Lady placed on prayer and penance in her Garabandal messages and how she requested this principally for priests. As I gradually became aware of this new light on information that has become available, I made the most of recent opportunities which permitted me to question Mari Loli. one of the Garabandal seers, and her mother. I was over-whelmed by what I gathered in these interviews and feel that it is more urgent to prepare all of this for printing as soon as possible. It is now unmistakably clear the main reason why Our Lady came at Garabandal was the crisis of the Church and of the priesthood. It was evident to me from the beginning that the overall purpose of Our Lady's coming at Garabandal was the crisis of the Church, however, it is only recently that I have become aware of how much Our Lady said about this crisis and what precise and alarming things she predicted with regard to it.

There are three "unpleasant" things that everyone has known since my first books and pamphlets appeared. These are the prophecies about the Warning, the conditional Chastisement, and the statement of the Second Message of Garabandal: "Many Cardinals. many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls with them." Our Lady was fully aware that at the heart of the problem of a morally sick world and Church, was the crisis of the priesthood. It was the centre of Our Lady's attention in her many visits, messages and conversations with the girls at Garabandal. She may have mentioned the rosary more often than the priesthood, but ultimately even the rosary as a form of prayer, was very much linked to the priesthood.
Our Lady Gives the Remedy
There also exists a superabundance of evidence that the solution Our Lady proposed to alleviate the crisis of priesthood, was prayer and sacrifice. The forms of prayer she asked for were varied and included Mass and Communion, visiting the Blessed Sacrament, the rosary and reflection on the passion of Jesus. The wearing of the scapular can also be considered a form of prayer and supplication.
Thee sacrifice Our Lady explicitly sought above fidelity to daily duty and the acceptance of all the sufferings, pain and hardship it involves. When the girls asked Our Lady how to make sacrifices she told them to be obedient and to be patient. Every day God provides disagreeable things that irk us and cause us to suffer in various degrees. He is asking us to accept all this suffering in atonement for the sins of the world and particularly of the priesthood, and to join these to the rosary and other prayers that we offer for these same intentions.
The importance of praying for priests cannot be emphasized enough. Everyone can offer sufferings of their day and their daily rosary for this intention. Holy Hours can be established for the purpose of praying for priests.
Our Lady has given us the solution - it is urgent that we fulfill her request.

Third Ecstasy, 3 in the morning until 4 on the 14th—Mari Loli
1962. After the ecstasy in the afternoon, Mr. Castro Pérez de Arévalo, Secretary General of the Civil Government of Burgos, his wife, his sister Señora de Muerza, and her eleven year old daughter arrived. The child had been suffering from infant paralysis since she was two months old, and she wore an orthopedic apparatus on her right leg and had two canes to help her walk. These people had not found a way to go up to Garabandal from Cossío by car. They had come on foot. It rained, and they were only able to find a donkey for the child. The child's mother, Señora de Arévalo, who was far along in pregnancy, had had lung surgery, and had pains in her leg because of the operation, made the journey painfully as it rained. The ground was covered in mud, and according to what her husband said "it was like they pushed her," this is the literal sentence.
All of us from before met again in Ceferino's kitchen (except the Mexican woman and her son who had already left) with the addition of the Arévalos, who had just arrived. Mari Loli was sitting on the bench in the kitchen with Señora de Alfonso at her side because she had been showing the girl her wristwatch. The girl had been playing with it and she put it on her wrist. The girl said: "I want to sleep so that the time will pass faster," and she lay on the bench in the kitchen and then sat up right away, nervous. Señora de Alfonso had taken off her watch so that the child could see the time. At three exactly, Mari Loli fell into ecstasy.
Second Ecstasy: 6:00-6:30—Mari Loli
We were the same as before, in Ceferino's tavern, commenting on the happenings of the morning with a Mexican woman and her son, who had just arrived in Garabandal. This woman gave Mari Loli a packet that held various rosaries and medals and some notebooks with thread, and also scapulars held together with green tape. We were as I said before, talking with this woman and her son, and then Mari Loli entered into ecstasy at six exactly. She was sitting in a low chair and then she threw her head back, went toward the stairs and ascended, and then she fell on the floor again. She took a handful of objects that the Mexican woman had given to her before, and she lifted them in the usual way to give them to the Virgin to kiss. She gave a wedding ring and the notebook with green tape to the Mexican woman's son, since the two objects were in fact his, and the green tape is the Green Scapular that represents one of the most widespread devotions in Mexico.
The girl continued offering objects to the Vision and gave them one by one to the Mexican woman. In that moment, Ceferino signaled to the woman that she should change places, and she did. The girl asked the Vision, very perceptively: "Where is she?—show me," and she turned slowly until she was in front of the woman once again, and then she continued giving her objects.
The girl went downstairs backwards and when she reached the bottom floor she went out into the street with the Crucifix in her hand. She gave it to the people to kiss and passed over some people (as happened to me). After that, she retraced her steps and gave the crucifix to kiss to those she'd passed.

In the street, she went toward the house where the Alfonsos and my wife and I were staying. The owner of this house was named Epifania Mazón. The girl pushed the door (which according to the owner had been locked, though I'm not sure of this detail), and she entered and went up the stairs. She went into the room that my wife and I were occupying. She went to the right of the bed and made the sign of the cross over the pillow. Then she went to the left side and did the same thing there. She left the room and went toward the stairs but then she changed directions and went toward the other room where the Alfonsos were sleeping. She entered and made the sign of the cross over their marriage bed twice, in the same way she'd done it before. She left that room and the house, keeping the crucifix in her hand. She crossed the street and entered another house through the front door. She went up the stairs and made the sign of the cross on the wall of a bedroom before going out to the street once again. The owner of this house told us that the place on the wall where Mari Loli had made the sign of the cross corresponded exactly to the place where her husband's picture was located, who had died a while ago.
The girl went to two other houses, but I didn't enter so I couldn't see what she did. She went to the street and went to the road to go up to the place called "The Pines" and there she fell on her knees, got up, went down to the village and entered in her house. She sat in the same chair where she'd entered ecstasy and she blessed herself before she returned from the ecstasy smiling. She told us that the Virgin had announced that she would return to see her at night, but very late—at three in the morning.
A Miracle and A New Dogma
A Miracle and A New Dogma - garabandalnews.overblog.com
According to his own testimony, the Pope who declared the dogma of the Assumption saw the "miracle of the sun" four times.
This information is confirmed by a handwritten, unpublished note from Pope Pius XII, which is part of the "Pius XII: The Man and the Pontificate" display. The display opened in the Vatican to the public today and will run through Jan. 6.
A commissioner of the display and a Vatican reporter for the Italian daily Il Giornale, Andrea Tornielli, explained to ZENIT that the note was found in the Pacelli family archives. It describes the "miracle of the sun," an episode that until today had only been affirmed by the indirect testimony of Cardinal Federico Tedeschini (1873-1959), who recounted in a homily that the Holy Father had seen the miracle.
Pius XII wrote, "I have seen the 'miracle of the sun,' this is the pure truth."
The miracle of the sun is most known as the episode that occurred in Fatima, Portugal, on Oct. 13, 1917. According to the Fatima visionaries, Mary had said there would be a miracle that day so that people would come to believe. Thousands had gathered at the site of the visions, and the sun "danced," reportedly drying instantaneously the rain-soaked land and spectators.
The New Dogma
Confirming the Dogma
Pius XII's note says that he saw the miracle in the year he was to proclaim the dogma of the Assumption, 1950, while he walked in the Vatican Gardens.
He said he saw the phenomenon various times, considering it a confirmation of his plan to declare the dogma.
The papal note says that at 4 p.m. on Oct. 30, 1950, during his "habitual walk in the Vatican Gardens, reading and studying," having arrived to the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, "toward the top of the hill […] I was awestruck by a phenomenon that before now I had never seen."
"The sun, which was still quite high, looked like a pale, opaque sphere, entirely surrounded by a luminous circle," he recounted. And one could look at the sun, "without the slightest bother. There was a very light little cloud in front of it."
The Holy Father's note goes on to describe "the opaque sphere" that "moved outward slightly, either spinning, or moving from left to right and vice versa. But within the sphere, you could see marked movements with total clarity and without interruption."
Pius XII said he saw the same phenomenon "the 31st of October and Nov. 1, the day of the definition of the dogma of the Assumption, and then again Nov. 8, and after that, no more."
The Pope acknowledged that on other days at about the same hour, he tried to see if the phenomenon would be repeated, "but in vain -- I couldn't fix my gaze [on the sun] for even an instant; my eyes would be dazzled."
Pius XII spoke about the incident with a few cardinals and close collaborators, such that Sister Pascalina Lehnert, the nun in charge of the papal apartments, declared that "Pius XII was very convinced of the reality of the extraordinary phenomenon, which he had seen on four occasions."
Son of Our Lady
Tornielli told ZENIT that there was always a close link between the life of Eugenio Pacelli and the mystery of the Virgin Mary.
"Since childhood," he said, "Eugenio Pacelli was devoted [to Our Lady] and was registered in the Congregation of the Assumption, which had a chapel close to the Church of Jesus. A devotion that seemed prophetic, since he would be precisely the one to declare the dogma of the Assumption in 1950."
The future Pope celebrated his first Mass on April 3, 1899, at the altar of the icon of Mary "Salus Populi Romani" in the Basilica of St. Mary Major. "And then," Tornielli continued, "Eugenio Pacelli received episcopal ordination from Pope Benedict XV in the Sistine Chapel on May 13, 1917, the day of the first apparition of the Virgin of Fatima."
As Pope, in 1940, he approved the Fatima apparitions, and in 1942, consecrated the entire world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
As well, Pius XII often spoke with Sister Lucia, the visionary of Fatima, and he asked her to transcribe the messages she received from the Virgin. He thus became the first Pope to know the "third secret of Fatima.
Il Giornale, Andrea Tornielli/Zenit (Nov 2008)
APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION OF POPE PIUS XII MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS DEFINING THE DOGMA OF THE ASSUMPTION November 1, 1950
http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pius_xii/apost_constitutions/documents/hf_p-xii_apc_19501101_munificentissimus-deus_en.html
My Comment :
"At both Fatima and Garabandal a great miracle was/is to serve as the seal of authenticity for the events. At Fatima Our Lady said she would perform a miracle so all would believe. At Garabandal she said as a result of the miracle "all will believe."
"No one should be suprised at Conchita's statement that the Pope will witness the miracle of Garabandal "from wherever he is". The Miracle of Fatima, urgently requested by the little sheperds and promised three months in advance as a sign to convince people of the Apparitions, was first witnessed on October 13, 1917. On that day seventy thousand people saw the "sun dance". 33 years later, Pope Pius XII personally witnessed the same miracle four times in the Vatican gardens at Rome. This sensational news was revealed to a gathering of a million people by Cardinal Tedeschini on October 13, 1951."
http://www.garabandal.us/pdfs/dw_our_lady_comes.pdf
Pope Pius XII about the New Dogma of the Assumption
"It is to be hoped that from meditation on the glorious example of Mary, men may come to realize more and more the value of a human life entirely dedicated to fulfilling the will of the Heavenly Father and to caring for the welfare of others. We also hope that while materialistic theories [such as Communism] and the moral corruption arising from them are threatening to extinguish the light of virtue, and by stirring up strife, to destroy the lives of men, the exalted destiny of both our soul and body may in this striking manner be brought clearly to the notice of all men"
At both Fatima and Garabandal, Russia was mentioned. At Fatima, Our Lady warned that if people did not change, Russia would scatter her errors throughout the world. At Garabandal she said that if people do not change, Russia would rule the world. At Fatima, the Virgin said that as a result of the Collegial Consecration (which some believe has been done while others do not) Russia would be converted. At Garabandal, Conchita was told by Our Lord in a locution that Russia (and other countries) would be converted as a result of the great Miracle."
So after Pope Pius XII an other Pope will see another Great Miracle announced this time in Garabandal by our Lady, confirming again another clear link between Fatima and Garabandal.
But what an incredible testimony from Pope Pius XII, confirming that he saw the miracle of Fatima in the same year he was to proclaim the dogma of the Assumption, 1950, while he walked in the Vatican Gardens.
He said he saw the phenomenon various times and even on Nov. 1, the same day of the definition of the dogma of the Assumption and considering the vision of the Miracle of Fatima as a CONFIRMATION of his plan to declare the New Dogma of our Lady, a Great Event for the whole Church announced on November 1, 1950, the Feast of All Saints and celebrated on August 15 of each year as one of the main feast of our Lady.
But there is also an other Great Event for the whole Church who will coincide with the Day of the Garabandal Great Miracle, can we expect another and new Dogma of our Lady that day as well ? we also know that this Great Miracle will be biggest than the Miracle of Fatima, 1000 times more important told us Conchita and a Pope will witness it as well, it will be also on the feast day of a young Martyr of the Eucharist, his description from the seer herself clearly corresponds to Saint Tarcisius even if she never confirmed, a Great Saint celebrated on August 15 as well, the Day of the Assumption but also the only young Boy Martyr of the Eurcharist on that day, an important detail.
Let me add few words about St Tarcisius, as confirmed by Pope Benedict XVI in his Generale audience regarding this Great Saint in August 2010 : "Who was St Tarcisius? We do not have much information about him………The Roman Martyrology fixed the date as 15 August", we must know that only a description of the Eucharist Martyr has been gave to the seer during an ecstasy by our Lady not his name, later and to find out his name she probably went to check on her own calendar, a Martyr of the Eucharist with a rare name, a young boy which could corresponds and there is one only and possible, his feast is celebrated the same day of the Assumption, which is not the exact day of his death or of the Great Miracle day, the description of the Martyr from our Lady indicated already his identity and clearly, the Church does not know the exact Day of his death as confirmed by Pope Benedict XVI ("we do not have much information about him") but our Lady surely, this could explains also why Conchita had never denied the Name of Saint Tarcisius as she described him herself to her French Friends then themself exclaimed : oh, that's St Tarcisius, in fact she just repeated what our Lady said to her, it was not possible for Conchita that time to have a description of the Eucharist Martyr from herself, life or description of Martyrs are not indicated in any calendar yesterday as today, it's also true that she never confirmed it but why she would do it, the description is clear and do not indicates the date of the Miracle at all.
http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/audiences/2010/documents/hf_ben-xvi_aud_20100804_en.html
The last Great Event in the Church was the Dogma of the Assumption, proclaimed on November 1, 1950 by Pope Pius XII and coincided with a vision of the Miracle of Fatima by the Pope himself and the same day, not as a consequence of the Miracle of the Sun but coincidentally only as a confirmation according to the Pope, the Dogma of the Assumption, the main feast of our Lady is celebrated on August 15.
The Future Great Event in the Church is like a definition of a dogma told us Conchita and will coincides with the Great Miracle Day, not as a consequence but coincidentally only and on the feast day of a Young Martyr of the Eucharist described by the seer herself as below :
"The Miracle will be on the feast day of a young martyr of the Eucharist, a boy who carried Communion to persecuted Christians. His companions, on seeing him pass by, wanted to force him to stay and take part in their games. Infuriated by his resistance, they ended up hurling stones at him until he was left almost dead. Later a Christian soldier came, who recognized him and carried him in his arms"
St Tarcisius is celebrated the same Day of the Assumption, on August 15, Patron of first communicants and in my opinion definitely linked to the Garabandal Great Miracle who will take place at the Pines planted in the village years ago to commemorate exactly the first communicants as well, end of Story.
PS: mis Sinceras Condolencias Conchita, vamos a rezar por su marido, descanse en Paz.

New Athletic Director to join Marlborough community
By Rachel '19 on December 9, 2016
Sheila Pauley and her children pose for a picture after doing a run.
Head of School Dr. Priscilla Sands announced on Thursday, Nov. 17 in an email that Sheila Pauley will assume the role of Marlborough's new Athletic Director beginning on Saturday, Jul. 1, 2017.
Pauley is joining the Marlborough community after serving as Athletic Director for 10 years at the Agnes Irwin School, an all-girls school in Pennsylvania.
She has been involved in athletics for most of her life, playing softball and basketball in high school, and basketball throughout college. Since then, she's coached both basketball and softball at Agnes Irwin.
When looking for new job opportunities, Pauley said she knew she wanted to continue to work in an all-girls environment where the focus is solely on female athletes.
"I was blown away by the students, the faculty, the administration, the parents that I met with—it just seemed like a remarkable school…It's such a different environment when you're competing with the football team, the wrestling team, and in an all-girls school obviously you don't have that competition—it's all about the girls teams, it's all about developing the leaders," she said.
When Pauley visited this past November, she was said she impressed by Marlborough's academic curriculum, and now hopes to build an equally robust athletics program.
"My main focus will be the strong academics at Marlborough. I want to see the same thing for the athletic program, and I see no reason why the School can't have both," Pauley said.
Pauley and her husband said they are looking forward to making the move to Los Angeles and joining the community in June of 2017.
"I was so impressed with the Marlborough community and how welcoming everyone has been since it was announced that I was coming. It's just been amazing and I can't wait to get involved and physically be there," she said.

The longest the Minnesota native has gone without playing a concert since then was a three-month break he took in 1997 to recover from what could have been a fatal chest infection. Dylan has played more than 2,500 gigs during this incredible run, and despite a catalog that dates back more than a half century, the shows aren't greatest-hits rehashes. The iconoclastic singer-songwriter tends to focus on whatever his latest musical project happens to be, and he often reworks his well-known songs significantly. Dylan's current backing band -- all of whom played on his 2012 studio album, Tempest -- has a bit of a country vibe, and usually features guitarists Stu Kimball and Charlie Sexton along with Tony Garnier (bass), drummer George Receli (drums), and Donnie Herron (pedal steel, lap steel, banjo, mandolin, violin, viola). Dylan was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, and he would have landed there based on his work in the 1960s alone, when he wrote and recorded some of the most enduring and groundbreaking material in musical history. Though his '60s songbook includes classics like "Blowin' in the Wind," "Subterranean Homesick Blues," "Like a Rolling Stone," and "I Want You," he hasn't stopped writing and recording critically acclaimed material, and is constantly mining his archives to release previously unreleased material.

EFAMA monitors issues surrounding fund distribution and disclosures to investors. These include investor protection and disclosure issues arising from the evolving PRIIPs and MiFID frameworks, the shift towards digital distribution tools, and the continued integration of ESG considerations into fund products.
ESMA consults on guidelines of the MIFID II appropriateness and execution-only requirements
EFAMA agrees in principle with many of ESMA's suggested approaches in their consultation on guidelines on certain aspects of the MIFID II appropriateness and execution-only requirements.
EFAMA asks for sufficient time to implement the new PRIIPs rules
EFAMA welcomes the ESAs' official approval of the revised PRIIPs RTS and is now awaiting the Commission's endorsement to have the RTS approved by the European co-legislators.
Originally, the Commission had intended to endorse the revised RTS by Q1 2020. With less than nine months remaining until the 31 December 2021 implementation deadline, there is now simply not enough time for fund managers and other product manufacturers to properly implement the envisaged wide-ranging changes. We explain why in more detail below.
PRIIPs – a further extension of the UCITS exemption has now become essential
A flawed review process not tackling the heart of the issue
EFAMA has always made it clear that a revision of the PRIIPs Regulatory Technical Standard (RTS) falls short of conducting a proper Level 1 review. A review that is explicitly required by the Level 1 Regulation and is overdue for more than one year.
An ambitious CMU Action Plan that will need strong political support from Member States
Building a Capital Markets Union (CMU) that serves the needs of European citizens and businesses is an ambitious yet, essential - project that requires a long-term political vision, determination and perseverance.
The new CMU Action Plan adopted today by the European Commission, which largely builds on the recommendation of the CMU High-Level Forum, is a milestone in the journey towards the realisation of this ambition for Europe.
Investment Funds Distributor Due Diligence Questionnaire
Funds face unique challenges in performing intermediary oversight, and especially so because of MiFID II requirements, changing regulatory landscapes, and the absence of an industry agreed-upon standard between funds and their distribution channels. To help address these challenges, a dedicated working group developed a uniform due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) that will serve as the standard for investment funds (UCITS and AIFs) in performing onboarding and ongoing oversight of distribution channels.
EFAMA calls for changes to investor protection rules in MIFID II / MIFIR Review
EFAMA has submitted its response to the European Commission's consultations on the review of the MIFID II / MIFIR regulatory framework, where it has outlined its recommendations on investor protection and capital markets and infrastructure.
EFAMA's Director General Tanguy van de Werve commented:
EFAMA Annual Report 2008


This weekend orange isn't orange anymore. Don (did you know his name is Don?) has transformed into a really scary pumpkin. If you have a good imagination that is. Anyway, collect the pumpkin juice and win the level. By the way, Tom Tomato isn't a delicious virgin mary guy anymore. He's all blood, blood and more blood, doing his best to stop you from getting those precious juice drops.

Celebrating Bermuda: The Legacy of James 'Jemmy' Darrell | Bermuda Biographies
Celebrating Bermuda: The Legacy of James 'Jemmy' Darrell | Bermuda Biographies A slave for most of his life, James Darrell was granted his freedom at the age of 47 because of his outstanding skills as a pilot. He was one of Bermuda's first King's pilots, as well as the first known black person to purchase a house.
West Baden 'Colored Church' Taken Off Endangered List | Indiana Public Media
— BERMUDA BIOGRAPHIES STAFF, BERMUDA BIOGRAPHIES
As a free man of colour, he challenged laws that imposed new restrictions on free blacks and slaves, and also petitioned against proposals that would have led to a drop in income for King's pilots.
Living in St. George's, Darrell belonged to a thriving community of free blacks. Of the nine parishes, St. George's had the largest number of free blacks in the 30 years prior to Emancipation in 1834.
Darrell was a slave who belonged to Captain Francis Darrell of St. George's. Some researchers believe that Darrell, a light-skinned man, may have been Francis Darrell's son. In 1793, Francis Darrell died, and Joseph Laborn of St. George's became the guardian of Francis Darrell's son John and James Darrell.
That same year, the British government purchased 41 acres of land at Ireland Island to establish a base that would become HM Dockyard. In preparation for the construction of the Dockyard, British surveyor Lt. Thomas Hurd was sent to Bermuda to carry out the first comprehensive marine survey of the island.
James Darrell, Jacob Pitcarn and Tom Bean were among the slaves who assisted Hurd with his survey. It is likely they were chosen for their skill as pilots and extensive knowledge of the island's bays, inlets and coastline because piloting was an occupation that blacks dominated from Bermuda's earliest days.
While carrying out his survey, Hurd marked several channels at the east end of the island to allow naval ships to navigate the treacherous reefs and enter protected anchorages without incident. That was a departure from previous access points—usually ships entered Bermuda from the west end or the south shore into Castle Harbour.
On May 17, 1795, two years after Hurd began his survey, Darrell manoeuvred Rear Admiral George Murray's 74-gun ship HMS Resolution into a deep anchorage—now known as Murray's Anchorage—on the North Shore near Tobacco Bay, St. George's.
It was a feat requiring great skill and Darrell came through with flying colours. He impressed everyone from onlookers to Murray, who wrote Governor James Craufurd the same day, showering Darrell with praise.
Murray described Darrell as having "great merit for his ability and steadfastedness". He recommended that the government purchase Darrell's freedom as an example to others who might also be inspired to become King's pilots.
Darrell, along with Jacob Pitcarn and another slave, were appointed the first King's pilots in 1795. Their main responsibility was to pilot British naval ships through the reefs.
Murray's recommendation that Darrell be freed was approved by the Governor's Council on December 1, 1795. The Governor paid Joseph Laborn 150 pounds for Darrell, who was officially granted his freedom on March 1, 1796.
The manumission paper that freed him from bondage described "a certain Negro man, commonly called or known by the name of Jemmy Darrell, aged forty seven Years or thereabouts of a smooth skin and yellowish Complexion and Five feet eight inches high…"
The change in status brought Darrell some benefits, but not total freedom. He could pocket his earnings, but could not serve on a jury or give testimony in court. In addition, the social climate for free blacks had worsened as a result the 1791 Haitian Revolution, which had struck fear in the hearts of slave owners everywhere. Free blacks were targeted because they were believed to be the ringleaders of slave uprisings.
Fears had not eased by 1806 when Bermuda's legislators introduced new laws. Two were aimed at discouraging free blacks as well as slaves from learning a trade because legislators felt too many blacks and insufficient numbers of whites were practising as tradesmen.
A third law made it illegal for free blacks to purchase property and to will it to their heirs. It also required blacks who were freed when they were in the prime of their lives—those under the age of 40—to leave Bermuda within three months.
That act sought to reduce the island's population of free blacks and to prevent those who remained in Bermuda from owning property.
Darrell—who had purchased an undeveloped piece of land in St. George's on April 19, 1800—and fellow King's pilot Jacob Pitcarn were quick to take action the same year the new acts were passed. Bypassing the Governor, they appealed directly to the British Navy headquarters in London in a petition for the right to keep the property they had acquired.
In their petition they pointed out that while people of colour comprised the majority of Bermuda's population, only nine free persons of colour out of a total Negro population of 5,058 owned land more than 100 square feet.
They argued they would be forced to sell their property and "become wanderers, in some other parts of the World, where they may find refuge."
Darrell and Pitcarn, along with other signatories, sent at least two more petitions to the Colonial Office in London between 1808 and 1811. The 1808 petition was signed by 22 signatories, who described themselves as free persons of colour.
While London said law seemed to be severe and recommended it be repealed, it remained on the books for seven years.
In December 1806, Darrell and Pitcarn also petitioned against new measures that would leave them with less income from their piloting. Both men had recently purchased a boat, with the expectation they would receive an allowance for boats and crew. The allowance was about to be eliminated. It is not known whether that petition was successful.
Federal Troops Leave South, Ending Reconstruction | EJI, A History of Racial Injustice
Despite these setbacks, Darrell's status as a free man placed him among a thriving community. In 1806, 147 of the 717 blacks living in St. George's were free persons—the largest free community on the island. They were attracted to the east end by employment opportunities created by the establishment of the British garrison in St. George's in 1796.
Darrell also earned a good living as a King's pilot, at least until the time of his 1806 petition against the prospect of pay cuts. He continued to elicit praise. A Lieutenant Evans cited his "great coolness and presence of mind" for navigating a frigate through North Channel. Darrell continued to earn his living as a pilot until poor eyesight forced him into retirement.
By the time of Darrell's death at the age of 66 in 1815, the law that banned free blacks from against willing property to their heirs had expired. Darrell left his property to his wife Eusebia, son Thomas Cooper (Darrell), daughter Joanah and grandson James Darrell.
He was buried in the graveyard for free blacks and slaves in St. Peter's Church, St. George's. The inscription on his headstone, which ascribes to him such qualities as "usefulness" and "integrity", indicates he was held in high esteem.
Pilot Darrell's story of resilience, resistance and of triumph over great odds has resonated through the centuries. His property, located on Aunt Peggy's Lane, remains in family hands. Romano Ramirez, a direct descendant, restored the house in 1992.
On April 12, 2007, the 192nd anniversary of Darrell's death, Premier Dr. Ewart Brown presided over a day of celebration in St. George's in his honour. A plaque at Darrell's grave was restored as part of the celebration. A new tender for the sail training vessel Spirit of Bermuda now bears his name.
Many of the documents pertaining to Darrell's life are housed in the Bermuda Archives, which mounted the exhibition 'A Manifest Alteration' in 2008. Further information about Darrell is being unearthed all the time. Darrell descendants live in Mexico, Tasmania, California, New York and New Zealand.
In November 2008, The Royal Gazette reported how New Zealander Bill Grant learned he was a Darrell descendant. He was able to close gaps in the Darrell family tree with the assistance of Bermuda descendants and genealogist Clara Hollis-Hallett.
According to research carried out by Hollis-Hallett, Darrell married twice and fathered a son, whose name is not known, by his first wife.
That son was the father of James Darell, Darrell's grandson. Eusebia was the mother of Thomas Cooper (Darrell) and Joanah. Thomas Cooper fathered five children, and Joanah was childless. The Gazette also said deeds confirm that Darrell bought a property at 5 Aunt Peggy's Lane and later purchased an adjacent plot of land.
