    World Peace Day

    World Peace Day

    Special Audio

    सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनस्,

    सर्वे सन्तु निरामया,

    सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु,

    मा कश्चिद् दुखभागभवेत्,

    ॐ शान्तिस् शान्तिस् शान्तिस्


    That is, may all be happy, may all be able to recognize good. May all be healthy and may no creature suffer. Present this psalm of peace from 'Upanishad', with the wish of world peace.

    Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire.But achieving true peace entails much more than laying down arms. It requires the building of societies where all members feel that they can flourish. It involves creating a world in which people are treated equally, regardless of their race.


    World Peace Day theme is "Actions for Peace: Our Ambition for the #Global Goals" The small and big actions we take for peace help achieve the world’s development goals.


    Background:

    The International Day of Peace (“Peace Day”) is observed around the world each year on 21 September. Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace.


    Pitri Bisarjan

    Wishing peace from a country where the Buddha was born, where many countries have expressed their desire for peace in the form of a chaityas at Lumbini, where the World Peace Stupa stands above Baidam Lake and giving the world a dimension of silken love and peace, whose people are famous around the world for peace and friendship. And where Mount Everest touches the sky spreading the air of peace all over the world.

    On the final day of Sohra Śrāddha, the Aświn Krishna Paksha Amavasya is called Sarva Pitri Moksha Amavasya. On this day, unlike other dates when Śrāddha is performed only for ancestors whose death dates (tithi) are known, the ritual is carried out for all departed souls whose exact dates are unknown, or for those whose Śrāddha could not be performed earlier for various reasons. Therefore, this day is regarded as the most important day of the entire Sohra Śrāddha period.


    On Pitri Moksha Amavasya, it is customary to visit sacred places such as Pashupatinath, Barahkshetra, Janakpur, Muktinath, Damodar Kunda, Ridi, Devghat, and other pilgrimage sites across the country to perform Śrāddha.

    It is believed that performing Śrāddha on this day is equivalent to completing the rituals for all ancestors. Whether the deceased passed away on a Shukla Paksha or Krishna Paksha date, the fifteen-day ritual period from Pratipada to Amavasya can be concluded on this day. Even those Śrāddhas meant to be performed on Purnima can traditionally be done on this Amavasya.


    According to Hindu tradition, sons and grandsons are responsible for performing the Śrāddha rituals of their ancestors. As the final day of Pitri Paksha, this Amavasya is particularly important for those who, due to some reason, could not perform the ritual earlier during the year.


    For the liberation of ancestors, families perform Śrāddha at home or in holy sites, offering tarpan (oblations) in their memory. It is believed that performing Śrāddha frees descendants from ancestral debts (Pitri Rin) and purifies the mind and soul. This remembrance of ancestors during Pitri Paksha also comes just before Nepal’s major festivals like Dashain and Tihar, symbolizing honor and gratitude towards one’s lineage.


    The last day of Sohra Śrāddha, Sarva Pitri Moksha Amavasya, is also regarded as the day of bidding farewell to the ancestors (Pitri Visarjan). Once the rituals are completed, people begin preparing for the grand festival of Bada Dashain.

    World Alzheimer's Day

    World Alzheimer's Day

    Special Audio

    Today we want to talk about a unique disease in the context of World Alzheimer's Day. Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that affects a person's natural memory, behavior, and expression. It is a disease of the nervous system. Initially, the symptoms of Alzheimer's appear as emotional and behavioral changes, and later Alzheimer's can lead to a complete loss of memory.


    About 70 percent of the causes are hereditary, while other causes include hypertension, severe head injuries, and depression. Extremely busy lifestyles and lack of time for yourself, stress, obesity, and lack of physical exercise also increase the risk of Alzheimer's. It is almost impossible for a person with Alzheimer's disease to return to normal even after long-term treatment. To fight Alzheimer's disease, we all need to make some improvements in public awareness and lifestyle. Daily exercise, a balanced diet, a normal lifestyle, balanced expectations from life, and daily yoga practice can help prevent Alzheimer.

    How important are daily exercise and mental activities for preventing Alzheimer's?

    If any of us understand that Alzheimer's only occurs in old age that may not be entirely true. Such diseases seen and read-only in movies and stories can come into our own lives due to our helter-skelter. According to a 2015 study, there are about 30 million Alzheimer's patients worldwide, and the number may have increased, but no new study report has been released. World Alzheimer's Day is celebrated on September 21 of each year to raise public awareness of such issues. September is also celebrated as the month against Alzheimer's. Let's all be aware of this disease.


    The theme for World Alzheimer’s Day 2025, “Ask About Dementia” emphasizes the importance of open and informed conversations about dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. It encourages people to ask questions, seek understanding, and reduce the stigma associated with these conditions.

    Sohra Sraddha Samapti (Aunshi shradhha) | Sorha Sradhha concludes today


    Pitri Pakshya

    These 16 days is the homage fortnight to ancestors, ancestors mean Pitri in Sanskrit so these days are called Pitri Parksha. Ancestors (Pitri) are taken as the center of God and the ancestral homage (Pitrikarma) is taken as the center of the eternal rites.


    Sorha Shraddha further clarifies the height and importance of Vedic Sanatan rites.


    Pitri Gayatri Mantra:

    देवताभ्यः पितृभ्यश्च महायोगिभ्यः एव च। नमः स्वाहायै स्वधायै नित्यमेव नमोनमः।।

    Sarva Pitri Moksha Aunsi

    On the last day of Sohra Shraddha, Ashwin Krishna Paksha Aunsi is called Sarva Pitri Moksha Aunsi. This day is considered to be the most important day of the sorha shraddha as shraddha will be performed in the memory of all the deceased whose death tithi is unknown and other reasons if their shradhhas are delayed.


    Starting from the full moon, this aspect lasts till the day of the Aaunshi. In Pitri Paksha, it is believed that ancestors come and live in the homes of their descendants on earth. Hindus perform Pitrikarya i.e. shraddha on the death tithi of their ancestors, on the day of shraddha, there is a special bustle in the house. Shraddha is one of the important deeds in Vedic Sanatan Hindu rites which is usually performed by the eldest son, if not the eldest son then other sons or brothers and even sisters of the family perform this. On the day of Sarvapitru Aunshi, the Son pays homage to the fathers on both his father's and mother's side.
