    World Freedom Day | Gorakhkali Puja | Gopashtami





    World Freedom Day
    Background
    World Freedom Day is celebrated in the United States on November 9 of each year. Former United States President George W. Bush has declared November 9 as World Freedom Day, marking the breaking of the wall dividing East and West Berlin in Germany and the formal end of communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe. In 2001, George W. Bush declared World Freedom Day.
    Today, in the United States, one of the strongest proponents of capitalism in the world, young students and Republicans celebrate Freedom Day by organizing various events.

    Former United States President Ronald Reagan, who played a key role in ending the Cold War and bringing down the Soviet Union, will also be highly acknowledged in the United States today.

    Although the United States emphasizes this day as World Independence Day, other nations around the world, especially European nations, seem reluctant to celebrate this day as World Freedom Day. Since the Cold War, there have been ideological, functional,, and systemic disputes between the capitalist, communist, and some socialist countries in the world.

    However, according to the idea of ​​New Globalization and New Nationalism, the inhabitants of the whole world are placed in a wide range within the philosophy of one identity and world brotherhood. Whether we belong to the communist ideology or the bourgeois ideology or any other ideology, the guarantee of freedom and the importance of living an independent life is very important in human society.

    Freedom Movements in Nepal
    In Nepal too, new dimensions of independence have been added in 2007, 2046, and 2063 BS respectively. Ease of living comfortably within the perimeter of freedom has been achieved and reframed from time to time. Excessive traffic jams, gas and oil lines, price hikes, corruption, and lack of rule of law are some of the problems of freedom of Nepali society that we have all faced in one way or another every day. It is hoped that the definition of Nepali independence will soon lead to a comfortable and transparent life for Nepali.

    Gorakhkali Puja



    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.

    Gopasthami



    An Asthami for the protection of mother cow
    Gopastami falls on Kartik Shukla Ashtami. This Tithi is associated with the security of Gaumata, the mother cow. Names like Gwala, Gopal, and Gobind have come to prominence due to the love and care of Gaumata. Even Krishna's favorite name is Gobinda, in this context Gopasthami's relevance is connected.

    On the seventh day of Kartik Shukla, Lord Krishna held the Gorvadhan Mountain for the protection of Cow, caretakers (Gwala and Gopinis).

    And on the eighth day, that is, on the Ashtami Tithi, Indra himself came down from heaven to meet Lord Krishna abandoning his ego. Since Kamadhenu anointed Lord Krishna as Krishna raised the mountain for the protection of cows, Lord Krishna's name remained Govinda from that day.

    Gopasthami, which has been celebrated since that day of Dwaparyug, is still being celebrated to this day.

    Today, it is customary to greet cows and to serve cows as human beings. Donations to Gaushala and Gaumatas today give positive energy to life, best wishes to all on this year's Gopasthami Tithi. It's getting colder, take care of yourself.

    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.
