Mulamoottil – Man of Magic

“Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the starts forever and ever.”

Rev. Dr. Abraham Mulamoottil – Great Visionary, Philosopher, Thinker, Green Liberation Theologian and Practician now moves to Pushpagiri Group of Institutions after his successful endeavor for decade in MACFAST as Principal. He knuckled down to build MACFAST in to a national level B institute. His visions made MACFAST in to the forefront of education.    His outstanding creation – St. John’s Cathedral is a wonder in the eyes people all over the world. Not only by its beauty but also by its theme to state – nature is our God.

At the time of farewell, people talked lavishly about Dr. Abraham Mulamoottil and his enthusiasts competed to speak about him. I thought after a moment, “Nothing can explain his kudos.  Nothing will be more if we glorified him.” He has been working to give voice to voiceless and to build a knowledge society by filling the knowledge gulf in the society. His policies are really outstanding and his basic/founding principle is “knowledge is never lost on sharing - it only multiplies”. The concept brain behind Radio MACFAST 90.4 aims the same.

He says "Our future depends not on what will happen to us, but on what we decide to become and on the will to create it. We Keralites have to learn a lot from the positive thinking of people in developed countries and the political will and unity they show to achieve their development needs."
His philosophical thoughts ―Self’ but also ―Others and deep understanding about this concept amzed me a lot. This ethical principle ―the face of the Other makes me responsible.  Know our ‘Self’ first. Then the ‘Other’.

Now I don’t like more about him. If you want to know more please visit. www.mulamoottil.in . But I should write few things about him that influenced me.

His visions

“When vision vanishes people perish”

His visions are his strength. He makes others powerful and responsible by his influencing actions. His creations are the symbols of his visions. I am wondering to see his mega work, St. John’s cathedral Tiruvalla, citadel of Kerala’s traditional architecture. His perseverance, will power, confidence and attitude made it. His visions are behind the brand name of MACFAST and he made it in to a Self sustaining College instead of Self Financing College. MACFAST Industry Interface (MII), MACFST Technologies, Corporate Badging and MACFAST Radio are the brain child of Fr. Mulamoottil. These are his efforts to make MACFAST in to a global standard. His urge to impart his visions is an outstanding character among people and he believes “knowledge is never lost on sharing - it only multiplies”

Sometimes I think, if our world gets people like Mulamoottil, it will flourish and cherish. Really, He is the special creation of God.

He is always with students. He cares, he carries and he moves them. Marvelous construction of Students Hall, novel initiative Wednesday gathering and creative Green Hour are the evidence of his optimistic approach. He realizes Nature is our God and we don’t have any existence without the existence of nature. This is his brain behind the novel initiative – Clean and Green Tiruvalla. An initiative to make a paradigm shift in the attitude of people towards waste management – an effort to practice micro level decentralized waste management.  

Thanks Father. Dear Achan, please transfer your igniting visions to us that will ignite us and others.

His imaginations

“If you have limited imagination, you will go for imitation”

He is the source of unlimited imagination. A wild imagination and he will work it out. He takes up impregnable tasks and fulfill like Napolean. There is no ‘impossible’ in his dictionary. When we approach him with some crucial dilemma, he will find suitable solution. The creation of St. Joseph Cathedral and development of MACFSAT are his luminous and incredible imagination. His imagination gives robustness and credential to all his steps. Recently initiated 75 lakhs solar project and 150 lakhs Clean and Green Projects are the evidence of his crisp clear imagination. He will replicate, but not as a Xerox but as a modified and creative version after perceiving things. I like to say, he has no imitation but he develops imagination to images and practical instead of imitation.  

His Fast Pace

“Do things in one year that can do in ten years”

He is fast moving person – a man who fails age. He put his steps very confidently; stands erect and speak long without any distortions. “Complete tomorrow’s task today and today’s tasks now” that is his policy. He is looking for complete perfection and he knows the movement of each sand, soil and grass in the Campus.  I was marveled when I saw him in a morning for jogging. You know, he is above 55.  Day before that day we had a hectic schedule like after morning walk and food we went to a school. He delivered thrilling seminar there for three hours. After that he had series of meeting at MACFSAT Office that end only on 5.00 PM. With a tea he started discussion on different matters that prolonged to 2.00 AM. I and my colleagues were tired and we forced him to stop. But in next morning, I wondered while seeing him in walk very energetic.

There is no compromise in updating himself by reading news papers, browsing and meetings. He is a man of outstanding energy and enthusiasm. That is why I comment – Mulamoottil = Mulamoottil.  Threre is no equal to for Rev. Dr. Abraham Mulamoottil.

His friends circle impresses me a lot. Eminent personalities are circling around him. I had a fortune to visit many of his colleagues. I came out with a conclusion that “Great persons are always in touch with great persons.” I bowed my head in front of them by seeing their tremendous simplicity, kindness, humbleness and greatness. No exaggerations…………really spectacular personalities.

His IT Proficiency

“Don’t teach Billgates on Computer”

Once he told me a thing, he taught foreigners computer in Belgium. Sometimes I yawned, while he talks about IT because I am not gown up to that level to understand his thinking on information technology. Operating system, server, language, email and education software etc. are his topics of discussions. He is the second after Delhi University utilized google space for communication and our server is in Colombia. This techno savvy IT Scholar collects all the updates from somewhere and teaches MCA professors. What a man he is in the age of 55. He said. “I can’t think/live without computer and internet. Now it is an integral part of life”. His implicit idea on IT paved a way to raise MACFAST to a high-tech IT infrastructure. Now he plans to have a IT revolution in Pushpagiri.

His smile

“Smile for add miles to your age”

His smiles add life to us, raise confidence and provide enthusiasm. He is propagating a message, “Don’t worry, be happy”. Issues like mountains will simply melt in front of him. He faces it with cheer determination and will power. May this smile long forever.

I like to see his visions flourish and followers grow. Father, all the wishes to your future endeavor.  We ensure that you can build a better society and better world and we will carry your visions and thoughts for a better India. Last we remember your spirit and discipline that made everything. We pray for s better tomorrow.
