The basic unit of society is family. In many well
established and ancient societies, family kinship up to seven generations was
considered sacred. Some of the tribes were always prepared to keep up their
tradition, social values, cultural heritage and economic status even at the
cost of bloodshed. The inherent herd-instinct in man to find out the roots of
his family is telling in the reports of certain such occurrences now and then
appearing in the newspapers.
The origin of many Kudumbayogams now prevalent among Syrian Christians especially in Central Travancore wants research. Inspired by community feelings of oneness, they were to initiate the formation of such Kudumbayogams with a view to sharing and perpetuating their family culture, common interests, values and identity as an essential need of the age.
The advertisements of family gatherings off and on coming in the newspapers under the column “Kudumbayogam”, sheds light upon the liveliness and activities of many such ones among the Syrian Christians of all denominations. Of course, many such Kudumbayogams are an asset to the community as they prosper mutual love and cordiality among the members and an atmosphere for helping one another, especially the needy.
The very recollection of the brilliant traditions acquired through various spells of time, the occasional service and contributions sponsored to the surrounding society by Kudumbayogams inculcate the growth of inspiration and liveliness in the growing generation, Kudumbayogams can be considered as an asset to the well-being of society.
