YahurVed Patha at Gunadhara

I was aware of the YajurVed and Hom rituals in a historical sense, but getting the chance to experience it first-hand was something special. We hosted this event on May 17, 2025, at our home in Gunadhara, Kavre, fulfilling my Buwa's dream. He managed to gather the Kunwar family from Chaubas, Okhre, Pokhari, Thulo Khoriya, Kodka, & Kavre - over 60 of us gathered together. Now, I'm a student of culture & tourism, not so much of the Karm-Kanda, so while I understand the philosophy, the rituals themselves were new to me. It was exciting to learn about the Rudri, Yajurved verse & Hom in real-time. My Buwa's efforts to unite our Watsa Gotri Kunwar family from the region paid off. It was like a family reunion on a spiritual level with the added richness of inviting five priests - four from Sindhupalchok and one who regularly blesses our Puja. For our family, this wasn't just a gathering. It was a chance to explore our roots. My Buwa, [ From my Hajurbuwa, Jijubuwa (1981- 2067 BS), and during my tenure as a field supervisor for the census in 2021 A.D. I listened a lot of stories of Kunwar of this area & my family, and our generation to generations. I visited everyone household wow what a memory for me! ] meticulously collected names and stories of our family going back to Devraj Kunwar, who reportedly came to our current home area around 1905/06 B.S. or before, possibly to escape the conflicts under Jang Bahadur Kunwar Rana (Prime Minister of Nepal). We've inherited tales of survival and devotion, tales that brought us together this time not out of need but out of tradition and cultural pride. This event taught me so much more than cultural history; it brought the past into present, threading together stories, people, and traditions that define us as a family, a community, and a part of something much larger. Finally, family isn’t just about people - it’s about stories, memories, and traditions.

Monsoon Trek Diary- Ambassador Himalaya Treks & Expedition

Image
We three from our company and one of our foreign Guest-friend - planned a short Monsoon Trek with overnight stay. Before finalizing the destination, on June 7, the four of us did a bike ride and short hike to Bhunadol, Farping to explore the area. Honestly, the place didn’t match our expectations, but reaching there made us realize how popular and meaningful it is for domestic tourists – a perfect spot for outdoor fun and connecting with nature. Seeing Nepali brothers and sisters enjoying the green hills and fresh air brought immense joy to us – especially as tourism professionals and teachers. We noticed various groups – some students, some couples, some hikers, and even monastery kids – all happily blending with Mother Nature. But along with this joy, came a serious thought – Are we disciplined visitors? Loud music on speakers while hiking, throwing wrappers, bottles, and other waste along the trails – is this how we experience nature? Anyway, we didn’t feel like staying down at the...

आज २०८२/३/३ गते ,      BTTM 20th ब्याचका विद्यार्थीहरूसँग Adventure Tourism को कक्षा लिन म नाथम गए। एक पटक पछि फर्के हेर्दा मनमा एक छुट्टै अनुभूति भएको थियो - भर्खर नाथम मा पढाउन सुरु गरेको जस्तो लाग्थ्यो, तर आजसम्म ४ वटा ब्याच पुगि सकेछन् (17th, 18th , 19th र 20th  सबै मा   मिठो सम्झना छ )। समय कति बेला बित्यो, थाहै भएन मलाई। पढाउनु भनेको मेरो लागि ज्ञान बाँड्ने माध्यम मात्र होइन, आत्मासँग जोडिने अनुभव हो - नयाँ पुस्तासँग संवाद गर्ने, सिकाउने र आफैं पनि केही नयाँ सिक्ने अवसर हो। आज मैले कक्षामा जादा म सँग नयाँ सोच लिएर गएकै थिएँ। पहिला जस्तो खाली Laptop and PPT होइन, यो पटक Laptop नबोकेर गएँ Different Mood मा। NATHM  आज मैले एउटा कथा दुवै सेक्सन (B & C) लाई सुनाएँ,  मैले मेरो गुरु प्रभात रिमाल लाई धेरै सम्झेको थिए मेरो ब्याचलर पढाउने गुरु हुनुहुन्छ 🙏।  " Michelangelo र उनको साथी Luca को कथा "   १६औँ शताब्दीको त्यो कथा, जहाँ Michelangelo भन्छन्, " मैले मूर्ति बनाएको होइन, त्यो मूर्ति त ढुंगामै थियो Luca, म त केवल त्यसको वरिपरिको भ...

कथा: विरूपाक्ष

Image
धर्मदत्त राजाका राज्यकालमा यहाँ एक विरूपाक्ष नाम गरेका किराँती थिए । जनजिवनमा जमिन देखि विस्तारै माथि निस्कने कलि भन्नेर पनि चिनिने बिरुपाक्ष। आज उनको कथा सुनाउन चाहे!  विरूपाक्ष  पशुपति  आर्यघाट विरूपाक्ष आफ्नो घरबाट सानैमा बिरक्तिएर निस्कें। छोरा वर्षौवर्ष घर नआएपछि विरूपाक्षकी आमा विरक्त भई तिनी पनि घर छाडी परदेशमा यताउता हिँड्न, घुम्न, डूल्न थालिन् । धेरै वर्ष देशान्तर घुमिसके पछि एक दिन हिदै जादा  एउटा जंगलमा बास बस्दा अचानक आमा छोराको भेट भयो । धेरै वर्षसम्म एकले अर्काको अनुहारै नदेखेपछि ती दुवैले आफूहरू आमा-छोरा हौं भनेर चिन्न सकेनन् । दुवै अपरिचित भई एकै ठाउँमा वास बसे। एकान्त ठाउँमा एक पुरुष र एक स्त्री मात्र बास बसेपछि दुवै चुम्बकले तानिए‌ झै तानिए र सँगै बस्न पुगे । तिनीहरूको बीचमा काम-भावना जागरण भयो र सम्भोग समेत गरे । सम्भोगपछि एकले अर्काको परिचय लिंदै गएपछि आफूहरू त आमा-छोरा पो रहेछौ भन्ने कुरा अचानक थाहा भयो । दुवैलाई पश्चाताप भयो । कामतृष्णाको वशमा परेर आमा-छोराको सम्भोग भयो । - त्यसकारण पहिला हाम्राे समाज चिनजान गर्नुपर्छ भनेर कहाँ हो घ...
