KIRAT RAI SAKELA DANCE, JUNE 6TH 2010 AT QUEENS BORO BRIDGE PARK NEW YORK ORGANIZED BY BASANTI RAI, YASODHA RAI, NAMITA RAI, BIPAN RAI. : Sakela is the main festival of Kirat which is celebrated twice a year distinguished by two names Ubhauli and Udhauli. Sakela Ubhauli is celebrated during Baisakh Purnima (full moon day in the month of Baishak) and Sakela Udhauli is celebrated during the full moon day in the month of Mangshir. Main characteristic of this festival is the Sakela dance performed by large group of Kirats wearing their traditional dress. People from all ages dance together making a large circle. There are male and female leaders in each circle known as Silimangpa and Silimangma respectively. These two people control the sili of the dance while the other dancers imitating them. The sili, style of the dance moves, reflects the different aspects of human life and our relationship with nature. The ritual starts from the chula puja, worship of chula, at home by the kirat priest nakchhong. After completion of the chula puja, nakchhong performs the sacrificial rite (usually with chicken) over the sacred place known as Sakela Than, which is usually under a sacred tree. As the nakchhong signals the completion of ritual by starting Sakela dance by him/herself the actual group Sakela dance commences. Everybody in a joy, participates in the dance forming a circle. With the beating of Dhol(Drum) and the "Jhyamta" performing different silies guided by Silimangpa and Silimangma. Among Kirats Rais, Yakkha and Sunuwar celebrate this festival,whereas Limbu's have Chasok Tangnam. According to Kirat holy book Mundhum a year is divided in to two phases: Ubhauli (Going up) and Udhauli (Going down). It is accepted that naming came from the migration pattern of birds. During the start of winter season in Mangshir, the birds migrate downward towards the warmer Terrain belt, and thus it is known as Udhauli, which means Downward. Likewise, during the rise of Summer season,the birds migrate upwards to the cooler Hilly region, and thus it is known as Ubhauli. Kirats believe in Shamanism and they are the worshiper of the mother nature. Sakela celebration is the prayer to Mother Nature for good crops and protection from natural calamities. Therefore, the festival is also known as "Bhumi Puja". They celebrate Sakela Ubhauli during Baisakh (April/May) ,as it is the start of farming and cultivation time. It is celebrated for 15 days which starts from Baisakh Purnima.But in different places in USA Sakela started celebrating from May and ended on 6th june in New York. .Sakela was celebrated through out the world UK, Australia, Hongkong, Japan,Nepal and India (Darjeeling, Sikkim,) Similarly, the celebration of Sakela Udhauli during the Mangshir (November/December) is their way of thanks giving to nature for providing them with good crops, as it is the time for harvesting. Kiratis with the traditional musical instrument called DholThe celebration of Sakela is connected to many myths. According to the Kirat Mythology, it is said that before the marriage of Sumnima and Paruhang, Paruhang used to live in the heaven .One day, he saw beautiful Sumnima on the earth and fell in love. He made a beautiful comb, sent it to Sumnima who wished to wed him. Four children were born of them after marriage. But Paruhang left Sumnima in a hut on the bank of Dudhkoshi river and did not return for long time. One day, she saw a creeper on a stone while she was in search of food for her children. She tasted the creeper and it was full of power and happiness. She brought the creeper and made Buti, an intoxicating religious garland, and kept it safe. The Buti inspired everybody who saw it to tell the truth of her/his life. Paruhang returned suddenly. He tried to counsel angry Sumnima. She gave the Buti to Paruhang. This immediately made him glad and he started to tell what he had done. He had spent the time looking at the heaven and the earth from the top of Chomolongma (Mt. Everest). He also said her that he had meditated, and visited the whole universe. Paruhang promised not to leave her, which made Sumnima to dance with joy. It is believed the dance is the 'Sakela Dance'. For this reason, there is tradition that young boys and girls comes to participate in Sakela to meet each other and find their love at the same time they enjoy the dance.

EVEREST DAY 29MAY 2010 : About a brief history of the 1953 British Everest Expedition In the first half of the 20th century expeditions to conquer Mount Everest took the form of an international competition between the major nations of the world. At this time in history the summit of Everest represented one of the last of the unconquered frontiers of the planet. Reaching Everest's pinnacle was considered to be a prize of momentous proportion. Many had tried and failed to make the accent. The death of the two British climbers, Mallory and Irvine during a previous attempts in 1922 and 1924 had proven the conquest of Everest was not only extremely difficult but life threatening. The interest in conquering Everest had taken on the proportions of an international competition and the British were determined to be first to summit Everest. In 1952 members of the Swiss contingency had come close only to be turned back less than a thousand vertical feet from the summit. In the same year England received a permit from the Nation of Nepal to do a reconnaissance of the southern approach to the mountain. The announcement of the letting of this permit was an unprecedented diplomatic success for England because up until this time Nepal had closed its boarders to visitors from the European Nations. This breakthrough in diplomacy and the receipt of the permit caused a stir in England and set the stage for the selection of the expeditionary force of 400 souls to conquer Everest. Because of his reputation for mountaineering Edmund Hillary had qualified himself to become a member of the team selected to attempt the accent. After another party from the British contingent had attempted to scale Everest had failed Hillary and the Nepalese Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay were selected to make a second attempt by Sir John Hunt who was the Group leader and finally succeeded in reaching the summit at 11:30 am May 29, 1953. Tenzing Norgay using an Ice Axe as a standard for the British Flag and Nepal Flag as they became the first human beings to set foot on the summit of Mt. Everest, the highest point on earth.

NEW YORK LHAPSO 2137.TIGER YEAR HELD ON 21 FEB. AT TSECHEN KUNCHAB LING ,12 EDMUNDS LANE,WALDEN,NEW YORK . : The year of Tiger The upcoming year of Tiger started from February 14. This year, will not be as stable as we would like, but will definitely be very interesting, rich and promising. “Tiger” is always going forward, he is hipster, with hierarchy and conservatism of the mind. Tiger is a sign of the extraordinary and exceptional destiny with many unexpected situations. Astrological predictions for 2010 promises many pleasant moments in personal life and many upheavals in careers, finances and political life of society. The year of the White metal in buddhist astrology ,especially year of the Tiger is the year of eminent personalities and battles, the strongest human ambitions, it is the year of accomplishments and trials, year of testing of our strength and sometimes even faith. As I mentioned before, it force begins on February 14, 2010, according to the Eastern calendar. This year’s Element is Metal and annual talisman-Silver. Metal inherent decisiveness and initiative, purely masculine Yang characteristics: hard, fast, solid, dry, focused, hot, and aggressive. In general, this year considered as favorable, but at the same time, no one would have time to rest. Because Tiger, by nature, sees everyone as a potential rival, in years of Tiger- the grandeur and poverty go together and these years are generally difficult, often even harsh for society.but with blessing from Buddha hope this year will bring every body happiness and goodluck all around the world.

TAMANG SOCIETY OF AMERICA CELEBRATING LHOCHHAR (TIGER YEAR)2010 : The Tamang tribe of Nepal was brought to Kathmandu Valley by King Srong-sen Gampo of Tibet in the 7th century AD as a cavalry division. Their own tradition also says that their original habitat was in Southern Tibet in a place called Uichang. Tamang folk tales reveal that during the early days of resettling in the Kathmandu valley, a public sport to prove the physical as well as spiritual might of the Twelve Tamang leaders was held to prove themselves worthy as military officers. Moktan, the chief of them all, took the initiative and brought a heavy iron beam and twisted it. Seeing this, the Bal leader brought a long pole and drove it against a precipice and pierced the innermost part of the precipice with so much force that water oozed out in a current. Bomzan then weaved a golden basket and collected this magical water without allowing even a single drop to leak from the basket. Ghising by the dint of his magic vaporized a lake and transformed it into a massive cloud. Pakhrin then brought a bronze plate and stared at it so hard that the strength of the glare broke the plate into pieces. Yonzon in turn suddenly produced a raging hailstorm while Syangdan created fire and the Thing leader extinguished the fire by pouring rain over it. Not daunted by such magical prowess Goley revealed a skyful of stars in broad daylight and Giaba spread a thick blanket of haze over it. Then Mikchan transformed a stick into a poisonous viper and Bozu made a vulture swallow it. Although, these folk tales now sound highly fictitious, it proved that the twelve vying Tamang leaders were skilled occultists and qualified as worthy Tibetan military officers. Now, the Twelve Tamang officers made Central Nepal their permanent settlement and settled around the Kathmandu valley and renamed villages after their names. Their villages were respectively called Moktan kipat, Bal kipat, Bomzan kipat, Ghising kipat, Pakhrin kipat, Yonzon kipat, Syangdan kipat, Thing kipat, Goley kipat, Giaba kipat, Mikchan kipat and Bozu kipat in the Chatara and Dhading districts. They ruled these villages till the Gurkha invasion in the west. Their kipat lands were annexed to the Gorkha Kingdom during the reign of King Prithvi Narayan Shah in 1768 AD Tamang language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman or Kirat group of the Himalayan region, and has a close affinity with the Gurung or Tamu, Thakali or Tamang and Yolmo or Kagatey Tamang languages. Buddhism is their main religion The Sherpas, the Walungeys and the Shingsabas also belong to the Kirat group.

NEW YORK LHAPSO 2136,OX YEAR HELD ON 1 MARCH AT TSECHEN KUNCHAB LING ,12 EDMUNDS LANE,WALDEN,NEW YORK . : Sherpas Festivals –The New Year (Lhosar) is divided into two, Sonam Lhosar and Gyalu Lhosar. Sonam Lhosar is celebrated in the 12th Tibetan month by people who farm. Gyalu Lhosar is observed by religious, business and official people in the first month, usually February. On the 8th day of each month Sherpas commemorate Senge Mella, the Buddha of medicine. On the 10th day is Tse Chu, when Guru Rinpoche returns to earth. The 15th is when Opame, the Buddha of infinite light, visits. The 30th day of each month is Lord Buddha's auspicious day. There are also other special days for the Sherpas eg. Saga Dawa on the 15th day of the fourth month commemorates the Buddha's enlightenment. In each village, pujas are held twice a year in Spring and Autumn. The Dumje festival is celebrated from 7th to the 13th day of the fifth month. The 10th day celebrates the anniversary of Guru Rinpoche's birth on the lotus flower. Lama Sangwa Dorgje first started Dumje in Pangboche about 360 years ago. It serves as a religious and community duty to help bring the villagers together. Each family has its turn to provide the festival for the village. Sherpa dress – Traditional Sherpa clothing is similar to that of Tibetans. The basic garment of the Sherpas, the chuba, It is a long warm ankle length robe that is bound around the waist by a sash. Unrolled sleeves extend beyond the finger tips. Under the chuba the men wear a shirt with a stiff high collar (todung). The older type of male head wear, as part of the Sherpa national dress, is going out and the 'Stetson' type hat, preferably white, together with leather boots is taking its place. The ladies on the other hand wear a sleeve/sleeveless chuba called a ungi. Over it they wear striped woollen aprons. The corners of the front multi coloured aprons (mhatil) worn on festival occasions are often decorated with brocade patches. mhatil are only worn by maried womens .. As in western culture ring simbolized the marriage.so as this mhatil is only one thing to be recozined as married in sherpa culture.Over festival cloths, women will wear a long coat (ungi tangtza) with panels of wool and brocade. A newer festivals hat is the tsering kingab, a high crowned brocade hat with four fur-lined flaps that is worn by both men and women. Jewellery - Three main stones used,in sherpa jewellary are coral, turquoise and dzi. Wearing these stones , usually as necklaces, brings good luck and is especially good for one's health. Jewellery unique to the Sherpas are the 'flowers of gold' (sergi mendog), worn over women's ears, and the necklace of gold plates (sergi tiktik). These are worn at festivals and weddings.

His Holiness Karma Kuchen Rinpoche Rigdzin Dupa Tsong Offering: on Sunday,Nov 1,2009 at Queen Palace N Y : Biography of His Holiness Karma Kuchen Rinpoche His Holiness the Fifth Karma Kuchen Rinpoche was recognized by His Holiness Dujom Rinpoche and Penor Rinpoche as the unmistaken incarnation of previous Karma Kuchen Rinpoche, Karma Thegchog Nyingpo. He was invited to Namdroling Monastery where Penor Rinpoche looked after him and provided him with basic religious education. Karma Kuchen Rinpoche excelled in all the monastic training and mastered all the traditional knowledge of The Palyul Lineage. He also received numerous Nyingma Teachings from great masters such as His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Penor Rinpoche. Keeping in view of his wonderful qualities of a master, His Holiness Penor Rinpoche appointed him as the Head of the Palyul Mother Monastery in Tibet in 1994. On 14 August 2000, he was formally enthroned as the lineage holder of the Palyul Tradition and is now the 12th throne holder of The Palyul Lineage. Penor Rinpoche on many occasions appreciated his efforts in holding the pure lineage of Palyul tradition and dissemination of Buddha Dharma in the Land of Snows. The significant achievement of Karma Kuchen Rinpoche since his arrival in Tibet was that he had built many temples, stupas, prayer wheels, images of deities and other objects of veneration and faith. Under the direction of His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, he has built a very grand and magnificent temple within the monastery premises, Of the many remarkable qualities that he possesses, the most striking quality is his strict and pure observance of all the vows of a monk.

NEW YORK NEWA GUTHI CELEBRATED NEW YEAR ON 23TH OCTOBER 09 : HISTORY OF NEWARI PEOPLE The newari are the indigenous people of Nepal's Kathmandu Valley. Newars are a linguistic community with Tibeto-Burman and Indo ethnictiy/race, bound together by a common language. The term Newar applies roughly to the descendants of citizens of Medieval Nepal (consisting of Kathmandu Valley as the capital and the territory ever changing with farthest extent being Gandaki river to west and Koshi river to the east, Tibet to north and Terai in south). Newar in the country are the nation's sixth largest ethnic group. The different divisions of Newars had different historical developments before their arrival in the Kathmandu valley. The common identity of Newar was formed after their arrival to the valley. Until the unification of Nepal, with the possible exception of the Muslims under Gayasuddin who attacked and destroyed many parts of the valley, all people who had inhabited the valley at any point of time were either Newar or were progenitors of Newar. So, the history of Newar correlates to a great magnitude to the history of Kathmandu valley prior to the Unification of Nepal. The earliest known history of Newar and Kathmandu valley were recorded in the form of mythical scriptures. One of such texts which even accounts the creation of the valley is Swayambhu Purana. According to the Swayambhu Purana, the Kathmandu valley was a giant lake called Nāgdaha until the Bodhisattva Manjusri, with the aid of a holy sword called Chandrahrāsa, cut open a part of southern hill of Kachchhapāla and then cut open Gokarnadaha and drained the giant lake, allowing humans to settle the valley land. This apocryphal legend is supported by some geological evidence of an ancient lakebed and it provides an explanation for the high fertility of Kathmandu valley soil. According to the Swayambhu Purana, Manjusri then established a city called Manjupattan now called Manjipā, where he crowned Dharmākara as the king of the land A shrine dedicated to Manjusri is still present in Majipā. No recorded historical document has been found after this era till the advent of Gopal era. A genealogy of emperors is recorded in a book called Gopal Raj Banshawali. According to this manuscript, Gopals were followed by Mahispals, and Kirats before Licchavis entered from south. Some claim Buddha to have visited Nepal during the reign of Kirat emperor Jitedasti. The Licchavi dynasty ruled for at least 600 years, followed by the Malla dynasty in 12th century AD. The Nepal Bhasa script is estimated to be at least 1200 years old. Nepal Bhasa inscriptions in an ancient manuscript, Nidan, from 901 AD and on a stone tablet from 1173 AD in the courtyard of Bajrayogini Temple at Sankhu, attest to the deep roots of Newar culture in the Kathmandu valley. Newar reign over the valley and their sovereignty and influence over neighboring territories ended approximately 250 years ago with the conquest of the Kathmandu valley in 1769 by the Gorkhali Shah dynasty founded by Prithvi Narayan Shah. Newars were engaged in business between Tibet and Moguls in India. So, to affect the Mogul empire's treasury, British East India Company supplied weapons and advice to Prithvi Narayan Shah, who in return would conquer Kathmandu Valley and put an end to the trade between Tibet and Moguls of India. Systematic brutal suppression of the Newar people was pursued for generations during early dynastic rule in order to discourage the Newar people from any political aspiration. The Newar maintain a highly literate culture and their members are prominent in every sphere, from agriculture, business, education and government administration to medicine, law, religion, architecture, fine art, and literature. There is a wide acceptance of the fact that Newar architects may have been responsible for developing Asia's hallmark multi-tiered pagoda architecture. Newar devotional pauba and thangka painting, sculpture and metal craftsmanship are world-renowned for their exquisite beauty. The fine temples and palaces of Kathmandu, Patan (Yala) and Bhaktapur are largely the product of Newar architects, artisans and sculptor Newar practice both Hinduism and Buddhism. 80% of Newars were Hindus and 20% were Buddhists. Out of the three main cities of Kathmandu valley which are historically Newar, Patan is mostly Buddhist containing the four stupas built by Ashoka, Bhaktapur is primarily Hindu whereas Kathmandu is mixed. Generally, both Hindu and Buddhist deities are worshiped and festivals are celebrated. However, for ritual activities, Hindu and Buddhist Newar have their own priest and cultural difference. Janmaadya chariotThe Newar tradition and culture is almost like an ocean. Newar culture is very rich in pageantry and ritual throughout the year. Many festivals are tied to Hindu holidays, Buddha's birth and the harvest cycle. The important Newar festivals are "Mha Puja" , celebrated in the occasion of the New year, during the festival of Tihar as per local calendar (Nepal Sambat), Bisket Jatra celebrated on the first of Baisakh and many more. One of the important festival celebrated by Newar people is Gunhu Punhi. During this nine-day festival, Newar men and women drink a bowl of sprouted mixed cereals and offer food to frogs in the farmers' fields. On the second day, Sā Pāru (Gai Jatra), people who have lost a family member in the past year dress up as cows or anything comical and parade through town, a ritual carried by a king to show his queen that not only his son died but other people die too. The last day of Gunhu Punhi is Krishnastami, birthday of lord Krishna, an incarnation of lord Vishnu. Yanyā Punhi (Indra Jatra) is a holiday related to Hindu god king of heaven, Indra. The festival begins with the carnival-like erection of Yosin, a ceremonial pole, accompanied by the rare display of the deity Aakash Bhairab, represented by a massive mask spouting beer and liquor. Households throughout Kathmandu display images and sculptures of Indra and Bhairab only at this time of year. Finally, the Kumari, or virgin goddess (living goddess), leaves the seclusion of her temple in a palanquin and leads a procession through the streets of Kathmandu to thank Indra the rain god. And there is an occasion in Tihar where people worship themselves know as Mha Puja(self-worship)in which people eat good food and wear good clothes, this day is also the newari new year or Nepal Sambhat in which a rally takes place where people go around town in motorcycles, busses and huge celebration. It is another emerging rituals that even young people take it deep. Many rituals are related to the stages of life stages from birth, first rice-feeding, childhood, puberty, marriage, seniority and death. The complexity and all-encompassing nature of these rituals cannot be exaggerated. For instance, Newar girls undergo a Bahra ceremony when they reach menarche. Because menstruation is considered ritually impure, girls undergo ritual confinement for 12 days. Girls are separated from all males and from sunlight for 12 days while they are doted upon by female relatives. On 12th day the girl must pay homage to the sun. Should a Newar man or women live long enough, there are five rituals, known as "janku,"—which can be confusing, as the first rice feeding ceremony is referred to as "janku" as well—performed between the age of 77 and 106. These at the age 77 years, 7 months, 7 days; 83 years, 4 months, 4 days (after one has seen 1000 full moons in one's life); 88 years, 8 months, 8 days; 99 years, 9 months, 9 days; and, finally, at 105 years, 8 months, 8 days. After these rituals are performed, the person will be regarded as a god. Husband and wife will perform their rituals together, as the events occur for the husband.

LAUNCH OF THE BOOK "UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL CIVIL SERVICE: PERCEPTION AND REALITIES" : BAN KI-MOON Ban Ki-moon of the Republic of Korea, the eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations, brings to his post 37 years of service both in Government and on the global stage. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS At the time of his election as Secretary-General, Mr. Ban was his country's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade. His long tenure with the Ministry included postings in New Delhi, Washington D.C. and Vienna, and responsibility for a variety of portfolios, including Foreign Policy Adviser to the President, Chief National Security Adviser to the President, Deputy Minister for Policy Planning and Director-General of American Affairs. Throughout this service, his guiding vision was that of a peaceful Korean peninsula, playing an expanding role for peace and prosperity in the region and the wider world. Mr. Ban has long-standing ties with the United Nations, dating back to 1975, when he worked for the Foreign Ministry's United Nations Division. That work expanded over the years, with assignments as First Secretary at the Republic of Korea's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York, Director of the United Nations Division at the Ministry's headquarters in Seoul and Ambassador to Vienna, during which time, in 1999, he served as Chairman of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization. In 2001-2002, as Chef de Cabinet during the Republic of Korea's presidency of the General Assembly, he facilitated the prompt adoption of the first resolution of the session, condemning the terrorist attacks of 11 September, and undertook a number of initiatives aimed at strengthening the Assembly's functioning, thereby helping to turn a session that started out in crisis and confusion into one in which a number of important reforms were adopted. Mr. Ban has also been actively involved in issues relating to inter-Korean relations. In 1992, as Special Adviser to the Foreign Minister, he served as Vice-Chair of the South-North Joint Nuclear Control Commission following the adoption of the historic Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. In September 2005, as Foreign Minister, he played a leading role in bringing about another landmark agreement aimed at promoting peace and stability on the Korean peninsula with the adoption at the six-party talks of the Joint Statement on resolving the North Korean nuclear issue. EDUCATION Mr. Ban received a bachelor's degree in international relations from Seoul National University in 1970. In 1985, he earned a master's degree in public administration from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. In July 2008, Mr. Ban received an honorary Doctoral Degree from Seoul National University. PRIZE AND AWARDS Mr. Ban has received numerous national and international prizes, medals and honours. In 1975, 1986 and again in 2006, he was awarded the Republic of Korea's Highest Order of Service Merit for service to his country. In April 2008, he was awarded the dignity of the “Grand-Croix de L'Ordre National” (Grand Cross of the National Order) in Burkina Faso, and in the same month received the “Grand Officier de L'Ordre National” (Grand Officer of the National Order) from the Government of Côte d'Ivoire. PERSONAL Mr. Ban was born on 13 June 1944. He and his wife, Madam Yoo (Ban) Soon-taek, whom he met in high school in 1962, have one son and two daughters. In addition to Korean, Mr. Ban speaks English and French.

THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN : About the Garden The New York Botanical Garden is a museum of plants, an educational institution, and a scientific research organization. Founded in 1891 and now a National Historic Landmark, it is one of the greatest botanical gardens in the world and the largest in any city in the United States, distinguished by the beauty of its diverse landscape and extensive collections and gardens, as well as by the scope and excellence of its programs in horticulture, education, and science. The Botanical Garden’s curated living collections contain more than 1 million plants; its Continuing Education program is the largest and most diverse of any botanical garden in the world; its Children’s Education program has been a pioneer in innovative, informal science discovery facilities and activities; and its scientific research on plants and fungi is unmatched in scope, depth, and authority. The Garden’s resources are as exceptional as its programs. They include the most important botanical and horticultural library in the world and an herbarium that is the fourth largest in the world and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. The greenhouses are the most sophisticated behind-the-scenes facility at any botanical garden in the United States, and the conservatory—a New York City Landmark—is the largest Victorian-era glasshouse in America. The Garden also offers a sweeping 250-acre landscape, 50 curated display gardens, an expansive 50-acre native Forest, and a wealth of programs, exhibitions, and activities for visitors to enjoy. The grounds display masterpieces, some dating to the 1840s, by many of the nation’s most accomplished architects and designers, both past and contemporary. The Botanical Garden’s innovative programs, unparalleled resources, and talented staff are rivaled by few and exceeded by none.

LHAPSO EARTH MOUSE YEAR 2135 IN U S A : Sherpas Festivals –The New Year (Lhosar) is divided into two, Sonam Lhosar and Gyalu Lhosar. Sonam Lhosar is celebrated in the 12th Tibetan month by people who farm. Gyalu Lhosar is observed by religious, business and official people in the first month, usually February. On the 8th day of each month Sherpas commemorate Senge Mella, the Buddha of medicine. On the 10th day is Tse Chu, when Guru Rinpoche returns to earth. The 15th is when Opame, the Buddha of infinite light, visits. The 30th day of each month is Lord Buddha's auspicious day. There are also other special days for the Sherpas eg. Saga Dawa on the 15th day of the fourth month commemorates the Buddha's enlightenment. In each village, pujas are held twice a year in Spring and Autumn. The Dumje festival is celebrated from 7th to the 13th day of the fifth month. The 10th day celebrates the anniversary of Guru Rinpoche's birth on the lotus flower. Lama Sangwa Dorgje first started Dumje in Pangboche about 360 years ago. It serves as a religious and community duty to help bring the villagers together. Each family has its turn to provide the festival for the village. Sherpa dress – Traditional Sherpa clothing is similar to that of Tibetans. The basic garment of the Sherpas, the chuba, It is a long warm ankle length robe that is bound around the waist by a sash. Unrolled sleeves extend beyond the finger tips. Under the chuba the men wear a shirt with a stiff high collar (todung). The older type of male head wear, as part of the Sherpa national dress, is going out and the 'Stetson' type hat, preferably white, together with leather boots is taking its place. The ladies on the other hand wear a sleeve/sleeveless chuba called a ungi. Over it they wear striped woollen aprons. The corners of the front multi coloured aprons (mhatil) worn on festival occasions are often decorated with brocade patches. mhatil are only worn by maried womens .. As in western culture ring simbolized the marriage.so as this mhatil is only one thing to be recozined as married in sherpa culture.Over festival cloths, women will wear a long coat (ungi tangtza) with panels of wool and brocade. A newer festivals hat is the tsering kingab, a high crowned brocade hat with four fur-lined flaps that is worn by both men and women. Jewellery - Three main stones used,in sherpa jewellary are coral, turquoise and dzi. Wearing these stones , usually as necklaces, brings good luck and is especially good for one's health. Jewellery unique to the Sherpas are the 'flowers of gold' (sergi mendog), worn over women's ears, and the necklace of gold plates (sergi tiktik). These are worn at festivals and weddings.

TAMANG SOCIETY OF AMERICA CELEBRATING LHOCHHAR (OX YEAR) 2009 : The Tamang tribe of Nepal was brought to Kathmandu Valley by King Srong-sen Gampo of Tibet in the 7th century AD as a cavalry division. Their own tradition also says that their original habitat was in Southern Tibet in a place called Uichang. Tamang folk tales reveal that during the early days of resettling in the Kathmandu valley, a public sport to prove the physical as well as spiritual might of the Twelve Tamang leaders was held to prove themselves worthy as military officers. Moktan, the chief of them all, took the initiative and brought a heavy iron beam and twisted it. Seeing this, the Bal leader brought a long pole and drove it against a precipice and pierced the innermost part of the precipice with so much force that water oozed out in a current. Bomzan then weaved a golden basket and collected this magical water without allowing even a single drop to leak from the basket. Ghising by the dint of his magic vaporized a lake and transformed it into a massive cloud. Pakhrin then brought a bronze plate and stared at it so hard that the strength of the glare broke the plate into pieces. Yonzon in turn suddenly produced a raging hailstorm while Syangdan created fire and the Thing leader extinguished the fire by pouring rain over it. Not daunted by such magical prowess Goley revealed a skyful of stars in broad daylight and Giaba spread a thick blanket of haze over it. Then Mikchan transformed a stick into a poisonous viper and Bozu made a vulture swallow it. Although, these folk tales now sound highly fictitious, it proved that the twelve vying Tamang leaders were skilled occultists and qualified as worthy Tibetan military officers. Now, the Twelve Tamang officers made Central Nepal their permanent settlement and settled around the Kathmandu valley and renamed villages after their names. Their villages were respectively called Moktan kipat, Bal kipat, Bomzan kipat, Ghising kipat, Pakhrin kipat, Yonzon kipat, Syangdan kipat, Thing kipat, Goley kipat, Giaba kipat, Mikchan kipat and Bozu kipat in the Chatara and Dhading districts. They ruled these villages till the Gurkha invasion in the west. Their kipat lands were annexed to the Gorkha Kingdom during the reign of King Prithvi Narayan Shah in 1768 AD Tamang language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman or Kirat group of the Himalayan region, and has a close affinity with the Gurung or Tamu, Thakali or Tamang and Yolmo or Kagatey Tamang languages. Buddhism is their main religion The Sherpas, the Walungeys and the Shingsabas also belong to the Kirat group.

UNITED KIRAT RAI ORGANIZATION OF AMERCA NEW YORK CHAPTER : History: Kirat dynasty is taken as the longest dynasty in the history of Nepal. Kirat ruled around 1225 years. Before the advent of the Kirats, there were Ahir and Abhir rule in the valley. The last king of Abhir dynasty Bhuban Shima was overthrown by Yalambar, the first Kirat King. Thus after defeating the last ruler of Abhir dynasty, Yalambar laid the foundation of the Kirat dynasty. When Kirats occupied the valley, they made Matatirtha their capital. The Kirat kingdom during the rule of Yalambar had extended to Tista in the East and Trisidi in the West. It is said Yalambar had gone to witness the battle of Mahabharata between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. He was so brave and powerful that Lord Krishna beheaded him prior to the battle suspecting he might fight for the Kauravas.Nepal is a very ancient country, which was ruled by many dynasties in the past. Among them, the Kirat rule is taken as a very significant one, being the longest period that extended from pre-historic to historic period. In ancient Hindu scriptures, Nepal is referred as the "Kirat Desh" or "the Land of Kirats". The Kirat Rai belong to the Kirati group or the Kirat confederation that includes the Rai, Limbu, Yakkha and Sunuwar. Dhimal, Hayu, Koche , Thami, Chepang, and Surel ethnic groups also consider themselves to be of Kirati descent.The traditional homeland of the Rai extends across Dharan Tapalajung the Solukhumbu, the Okhaldhunga , Khotang, Bhojpur and the Udayapur districts in the northeastern hilly/mountainous region of Nepal, west of the Arun River in the Sun Koshi River watershed. Rais are also found in significant numbers in the Indian state of Sikkim and in the northern West Bengal towns of Kalimpong and Darjeeling.

THE 59th NEPALI NATIONAL DEMOCRACY DAY FEB 18 2009 : Today 18th February 2009 59th National Democracy Day was held here in New York organized by Permanent Representative of Nepal to the United Nation Mr Madhu Raman Acharya and Dr Geeta Sharma Acharya. Historical archives present a rather dynamic history of Nepal. After having gone through a number of dynasties like the Kiratis, Lichchavis and the Mallas, the 250 rivaling principalities within Nepal's boundary were united in 1768 A.D. by Prithivi Narayan Shah. The Shah rule continued till 1846 A.D. until it was seized by Jung Bahadur Rana, who became the first Rana prime minister of Nepal. He heralded 104 years of the dictatorial Rana regime. A century of dominance, violation of human rights and uncertainty resulted in a mass revolution for democracy in February 18 1951 . However, this parliamentary government lasted only until 1960. It was then abolished in favour of the Panchayat System by King Mahendra. This system was again replaced by democracy and constitutional monarchy in the 1990 mass revolution.
