Poornima Vrat
Last day of Shukla Paksha
The last day of Shukla Paksha is the full moon day. On this tithi, the moon is the brightest and magnificent. It is believed that fasting on this day brings immense lunar grace to health, prosperity, and peace. On the full moon day, Lord Shiva and Vishnu are especially worshiped. Special worship to Lord Vishnu is done in the form of Satya Narayan Puja. Satya Narayan Puja is usually performed whenever possible, although the fruits of this puja performed on the day of the full moon are very abundant.

From a scientific point of view, it is said that gravity will have a great effect on the earth on the day of the full moon and self-purification will be done by fasting on this day and remembering the name of God. By fasting on this day, the metabolic process will be strengthened, gastric problems will be solved and positive energy will increase in the body.



This day is fast from sunrise in the morning to moonrise in the evening. Some people observe this fast without drinking water, while others observe this fast by eating only one meal and eating no salt (alino) food. In the evening, after the moonrise, the fast ends with the sighting of the moon. Happy Jestha Shukla Purnima to everyone this year.Let there be an end to the flood and landslide, let there be the protection of both religion and the followers of religion.

Yoga Studies in Nepal
The formal study of yoga and naturopathy is being taught in Nepal at Valmiki Vidyapeeth of Nepal Sanskrit University. The entrants are given 6 months of yoga and naturopathy training. Those who have graduated in any subject have also been approved for a two-year postgraduate course. Although the Curriculum Development Center has been teaching yoga, naturopathy, and Ayurveda as subjects of interest in classes 9 and 10 since 2051 BS, it has not been able to start due to a lack of graduates in this field. Today, we want to appeal to the youth to move forward by making yoga study a goal of life.

From billionaires to saints, we all need to answer with our hands on our chests; is there peace in our lives? Are we happy? Human nature is beyond self-control, it is a creature indulging in greed, lust, and indulgence for material gain, human beings are the only creatures in the world who spend their whole life on their grid of needs and security, and it does not apply to other creatures.

Nepal is considered to be the birthplace of yoga. As yoga practice and Ayurveda is a reliable and ancient treatment method, it is requested to bring them into regular practice for staying healthy.

By practicing yoga and understanding the importance of yoga, we are sure to be successful and healthy even in daily life and health. Yoga is essential for an egalitarian world, yoga is life, and let's study more about it, adopt it, and achieve a happy and peaceful life.
