Who we are
Dr. Fr. Abel
Founder of Kalabhavan
In the Kerala Catholic Church Dr. Fr. Abel, CMI, was a towering figure, having crafted much of its liturgy, including its songs, when the liturgical language was changed to Malayalam from Syrian. But in the state’s secular world, Dr. Fr. Abel had an equally impressive life, having created this art abode, Kalabhavan that nurtures thousands of talents every year. Dr. Fr. Abel was originally an academician, having done his doctorate in Journalism & Politics from Rome International University, and having taught at Devagiri College, Kozhikode. But nothing could silence the humming within.
Looking back, Kalabhavan’s success can largely be attributed to two philosophies that Dr. Fr. Abel taught and lived. Love art and serve art lovers, without any considerations like caste, creed, rich, or poor. He also effortlessly demolished the caste identification of art forms like Mohiniyattom, Kathakali and Bharata Natyam, encouraging artistes from all communities to learn and master the art forms. Fr. Abel's panacea for organising children and youth and his credo – "catch them young" – helped him establish the concept of Kalabhavan. Hundreds of children fine-tune their skills in over 20 literary fields at Kalabhavan..
