Biography
Cyril Bernard Papali was born in Kara, in the south Indian state of Kerala[1] on September 26, 1902.[2] After opting the Third Order Discalced Carmelite (T.OCD) of the Archdiocese of Verapoly as the base of his vocation on May 15, 1924, he completed his vocational studies to be ordained as a priest on May 30, 1931. Eventually, he became the Prior General of the Congregation, a position he held until 1950, when he was called to Rome where he taught Hinduism at the Pontifical Urban University.[3] He worked at the university till his retirement in 1972.[2] In between, he was a Peritus at the Second Vatican Council on the question of laity which was in session from 1962 to 1965[3] and served as a Consultant of Vatican Secretariat for Non-Christians in 1964.[citation needed]
Papali wrote several books and articles in the fields of theology, philosophy and religion. His book, Hinduism: Religion and Philosophy is considered by many scholars as a classical work in Latin language written by an Indian.[4][5] The Advaita Vedanta of Sankaracarya, a two-volume treatise on the Advaita philosophy of Adi Shankara is another of his known books on Hinduism.[6][7] He has also written a book on Mary, mother of Jesus under the title, Mother of God: Mary in Scripture and tradition,[8][9]
Papali died on September 14, 1981, aged 78 at the Pontifical Theological Faculty and Pontifical Institute of Spirituality Teresianum in Rome.[2]
