Not being an alum of Godavari and having been away from 'home' so long, didn't know who Father EUGENE WATRIN was. But the video of the funeral was indeed different - Jesuits' traditions sprinkled with traditonal Nepalese'. And the most amazing thing to me is that the Father was cremeted (see pic below) and not buried, as Christian tradition dictates - unless I'm wrong. He must have been a wonderful person indeed as there were so many mourners there paying their last respect, again, in various traditions. After watching the video, curiosity took me in checking the following link where the video resides. And boy I spent a good couple of hours there. This Kevin "Sir" has put in a lot of effort in making the site so wonderful and refreashing. I recommend you all to check it out too. Letters, Pictures, some songs, more videos and link to his blog are just so wonderful. - http://www.servinitup.net
