Summary

Navajeevan and the brain behind it never cease to amaze the psychiatry department of the Kottayam medical College. But Thomas, 66, attributes his success with mental patients to his language of love. Not surprisingly, he has little difficulty interacting with inmates from outside Kerala thoughhe knows only Malayalam. “I don’t know any other lan­guage. But the language of love binds us all,” says the healer. “Just love them and pray to God,” he says with a disarming smile. About 3500 of his patients have returned to their families after regaining their mental balance; the others are on their way to recov­ery. Many like the fully cured, Kumari, Sarsamma and Sulu have turned volunteers and chosen Navajeevan as their adopted home.
