The Ray of new Hope
Fr Muller was sent to India from Venice as one of the 8 Jesuits to teach French and Mathematics in the newly opened St Aloysius College, in Mangalore. He was not only a product of Fordham University in the USA but also a homoeopath, trained under two of the most eminent doctors in Paris. He even possessed the secrets of manufacturing quality home medicines. His name as a physician spread when he successfully treated students under a banyan tree in the College for a variety of ailments and soon elders too joined a long line of patients.
The ‘Homoeopathic Poor Dispensary’ was born when he bought land in Kankanady to accommodate the growing number of patients. It is in Kankanady that his health care work earned him a reputation as a compassionate healer and the Kaiser-e-hind award from the Government of India.
The banyan tree became symbolic of his dedication to healing the poor and the downtrodden, for whom he opened many facilities in the Hospital. His endeavor of succor has blossomed today into a full-fledged post-graduate institute of medical education and research, both in allopathy and homeopathy. Clinical facilities include a 1000 bed super specialty hospital with a team of dedicated doctors, nurses and all support systems.
Fr Muller’s humane work for the leprosy patients began in 1883 when he was asked to try homeopathy for the mother of two men who abandoned her to the care of the Jesuits. He took her to Kankanady and thus was born St. Joseph’s Leprosy Hospital. Fr. Muller tried homeopathy, and then allopathy. Thus allopathy and homeopathy came into coexistence at Kankanady.
