    Gorakhkali Puja | World Day of Social Justice




    Gorakhkali Puja Special Audio

    Gorakhkali Puja

    ॐ जयन्ती मङ्गला काली भद्रकाली कपालिनी।
    दुर्गा शिवा क्षमा धात्री स्वाहा स्वधा नमोऽस्तुते॥



    Meaning: Salutations to the Goddess who is victorious (Jayanti), auspicious (Mangala), Kali (the fierce one), Bhadrakali (the benevolent one), and the holder of a skull (Kapalini). She is Durga (the invincible), Shiva (the auspicious), Kshama (the embodiment of forgiveness), Dhātri (the supporter), and the sacred offerings (Svaha and Svadha).

    This shloka is often chanted to invoke the blessings of the Goddess for protection, success, and spiritual strength.
    Baba Gorakh and Gorakhkali vagwati are very important in Nepali history. The meeting between Prithvi Narayan Shah and Baba Gorakh, the vomit that fell on the feet of Prithvi Narayan Shah and the auspiciousness given by Baba Gorakh to Prithvi Narayan Shah that there will be victory wherever he bows is the reason for the energy and strength of Nepal's unification.

    The glory of Gorakhnath Baba, a unique devotee of Baba Machindranath, is special in the Sanatan community of Nepal, India and all over the world.

    Gorkha, the district of origin of Shah dynasty kings adjacent to the name of Baba Gorakh, and Gorakhkali temple have special importance in the former royal family of Nepal. It should be remembered that in the history of Baba Gorakh, the Gorakh palace and dynasty as well as the Gorakh temple in Pashupati's mrigasthali forest and Baba's 15-year meditation there are also connected.

    The Gorkha temple of Mrigasthali is in a state of neglect due to lack of protection and management.
    In the Gorkha Darbar area is the shrine of Gorakhkali Devi. This Peetha is considered as the Kool Devi of the Shah Dynasty. It is customary to worship Gorkhali on Paush Krishna Ashtami. Today, a special puja is performed at the Gorakhkali temple in Gorkha.

    It has been a tradition for hundreds of years to bring Jamara to Kathmandu on Phulpati day in this Gorakhkali temple. In the post-republic years, such customs have not been given much attention, although the importance of Baba Gorakh and Gorakhkali Devi in ​​the protection of Nepalese land has been incomparable.
    Nepali people need more blessings of Baba Gorakh and Gorakhkali Devi to protect cows.

    Gorakh Sandesh (Message)
    Gorakh message
    Guru Gorakhnath says - "The journey of the temples and shrines is Suno Yatra" meaning the pilgrimage of the temples etc. are spiritually meaningless, equal to zero, soulless – unless we are able to spread love to every being in this cosmos.

    देवल जात्रा सुंनि जात्रा, तीरथ जात्रा पाणीं ।
    अतीत जात्रा सुफल जात्रा, बोलै अमृत वाणी


    Yes, the role of temples is very important in terms of religion and culture, but if there is a pilgrimage but there is no faith, there is no emotion and there is no devotion, then what is the use of just doing a "deval pilgrimage"? Do not worship people who worship idols! Run to temple but can't make the house a temple! Worshiping the deity of the temple but unable to awaken divinity in himself! Offering fruit, offerings, etc. to the deity made of stone in a small area and complex, but not accepting that the divinity resides in every human, animal and bird! And unable to serve! Seeing such religious pretentiousness, Guru Gorakhnath made a sharp satire in Khadi language (Prakrit language, folk language, rural language). Glory be to Baba Gorakhnath and Gorakhkali Bhagwati forever.
    Infinite love of Gorakhkali Puja.


    The significance of World Social Justice Day



    Since 2009, February 20 has been recognized as the World Day of Social Justice. The resolution marking that day was adopted by the UN General Assembly. The event serves as a reflection on the importance of social justice for global growth, security, and peace. In its resolution, the UN recognized the need for stronger global actions to combat poverty. Promoting social progress and gender equality are key priorities.

    Fairness is critical to social justice. It encompasses all social systems, opportunities, and necessities on a fundamental level. Maintaining equality for all people is a concern of social justice, which is strongly tied to human rights.

    The World Day for Social Justice, provides a forum for promoting social justice problems all across the world. When people are aware of the various injustices that exist in the world, they are better able to develop remedies and advance true equality. Only equality can ensure happy, healthy societies where people can reach their full potential.
    The UN's dedication to social justice was strengthened in 2008 when the International Labour Organization (a UN agency) adopted the ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization. The first official World Day for Social Justice was observed in 2009.

    World Day of Social Justice is celebrated each year on 20th February and the theme for 2025 is 'Empowering Inclusion: Bridging Gaps for Social Justice.

    This theme focuses on the suggestions to promote international cooperation and to restore public confidence in the government. As a result, the 2025 World Day of Social Justice offers a chance to encourage discussion with Member States, young people, social partners, civil society organizations, UN agencies, and other stakeholders about the steps that must be taken to strengthen the social contract that has been shattered by escalating inequality, armed conflicts, and weak institutions that are supposed to protect workers' rights.

    Meaningful wishes


    -Suyog Dhakal

    Hamro Patro - Connecting Nepali Communities
    Hamro Patro is one of the first Nepali app to include Nepali Patro, launched in 2010. We started with a Nepali Calendar mobile app to help Nepalese living abroad stay in touch with Nepalese festivals and important dates in Nepali calendar year. Later on, to cater to the people who couldn’t type in Nepali using fonts like Preeti, Ganesh and even Nepali Unicode, we built nepali mobile keyboard called Hamro Nepali keyboard.
