Om Namah Shivaya

I am Speaking about that time when there was neither day nor night. Neither was there the Earth nor the Sky. When there was no Sun or Moon, or height or depth. This is quite before the Time and the universe. There was only a Zero then, which was beyond the rays of both Light & Darkness. There was no colour of this Zero. Because colours have taken birth after a long time. How can I introduce you to that Zero? Because introduction demands words, and i am speaking of a time prior to the origin of language. It is about that time when there was nothing.There was nothing at all. Except for a voice, which was moving across the great silence. Silence, which neither has any shape nor any colour. It is impossible even to think about that.Because thought is limited by the sphere of Time. It cannot go beyond the limit of the universe.That is why Mankind, sit at the edge of your thoughts see with your eyes closed and listen with the ears of mind. Lord Shiva is the origin of Man, origin of Word and Sound.Lord Shiva is the reason of the creation.The Sathvik shape of the frist Deva, Lordshiva, which is Panchanan and to get a direct view of that lord shiva.
Om Namah Shivaya!!

एक आम नेपाली

न माओबादि न कांग्रेस न त एमाले, न हिमाली न पहाडी न त तराई, न धनी न त गरीब, म सोच छु आफुलाई यि भन्दा नि माथि । र भन्न छु आफुलाई एक आम नेपाली ।

मेरो नेपाल मेरो नेपाल मेरो नेपाल, मेरो देश मलाई लाग्छ प्यारो ।

Krishna Astami

A Fesival celebrating the birth of Krishna takes place at all the important shrines dedicated to him. Krishna Astami also known as Krishna Jayanti or Sri Krishna Janmastami is not only celebrated in Nepal but also in India, its neighboring country. The Hindu community in Nepal celebrates this festival with lot of fanfare. Devotees of Lord Krishna observe fast, consuming only fruits and milk products.
In particular, at the Krisna Mandir Temple in Patan, there is a beautiful festival in the evening when women and girls make offering of special flowers and sing challenging love duets with their male admirers-a kind of romantic banter.

Janai Purnima

This Festival mainly concerns Brahmins but most other Hindus also participate. On this day, Brahmins bathe in the sacred rivers of the Vishnumati and Bagmati, after which they change the sacred threads worn across their chest. Other people have yellow sacred threads tied round thei wrist to protect them from the dangers of the coming year. On this day, thousands of people visit kumbeswar temple where they bathe in the sacred waters which supposedly come from the holy lakes in gosainkund.

Bhoto Jatra

Bhoto Jatra consists of two words, bhoto (means a vest studded with jewels) and jatra (means festival). The black velvet, jeweled vest (Bhoto) also has its own story. Legend says it was given to a farmer by Karkot Naga in reward for curing eye ailment of his Queen. But it got stolen. After sometime when the farmer was attending Machhindranath festival at Jawalakhel, he saw someone wearing the same vest. A quarrel ensued between the farmer and the man wearing the vest. Karkot Naga was also at the festival in human form. He settled the quarrel and submitted the Bhoto to Machhindranath for safe keeping. From that day on every year the Bhoto is shown to the people assuring them that it is safe. As per the tradition, a priest takes out the sealed bhoto and shows it to public for three times in the presence of the chief guest at the function.

The Bhoto Jatra was begun since the Lichhavi period during the rule of King Gunakama Dev. Although the then kings used to be chief guest of the Bhoto Jatra ceremonies since the time of King Narendra Dev, the tradition was broken after the monarchy was abolished in the country.
