By himalayanreview
SINGTAM, AUGUST 10: An awareness program on Dengue for the students' guardians was held today at Chisopani JHS. More than 30 parents were present on the occasion, which was attended by Mahesh Kr. Dahal, the Headmaster of the school, and his staff. The guardians were explained symptoms and preventive measures related to dengue.

In his welcome speech, Mahesh Kr. Dahal, Headmaster of Chisonai JHS, informed the gathered parents of the immediate and essential message-sharing session about the Dengue virus. Dahal went on to say that the Dengue Virus is spreading to our nearby regions, and we need to understand and share the message of getting prevented from this contagious disease.

Shital Pradhan, the primary teacher of the school, was the resource person for the occasion; Pradhan explained that female Aedes aegypti are responsible for the spread of Dengue illness. Pains in muscles and joints, fever, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, rashes on the body, and bleeding from the nose and gums are the symptoms of dengue. He added people can identify this particular mosquito with its black and white stripes on its body. It was further told that mosquitoes bite their victims, preferably at sunrise and sunset. Removal of stagnant water is the best way to prevent this disease.

An interaction session between guardians and school teachers was also held. The guardians appreciated the initiative taken by the school in organizing such a program that would encourage everybody to remain safe from the dengue disease.

This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

Sukunda: Newa`s five elements

By himalayanreview
(Information by Dipak Shrestha) Sukunda is a typical traditional Nepali oil lamp made of brass. The front part of this lamp shows a tiny icon of Ganesha, the god of luck and success. On its front is a small cup fixed in the shape of a Yoni used to put the wick. Fixed on the back of the lamp is a fascinating loop handle designed with a five-headed serpent (sometimes a mythical dragon or makara) raising its head in a very watchful attitude.  A small spoon with a nagakanya on top generally replenishes the reservoir's oil. The artistic work on this unique oil lamp reflects the remote past of a very famous Buddhist legend.  The Legend A long time ago, Kathmandu Valley was a large lake inhabited by nagas(snakes). In the middle of the lake was a beautifully blooming thousand-petalled lotus flame. When Buddhisattwa Mahamanjushree heard about this, he rushed to the valley from China to pay homage to the flame. The entire valley rang up with the thundering strike of his mag...

Early Poets of Sikkim : Subhash Deepak

By himalayanreview
During the early two decades of the twentieth century young boys belonging to rich and aristocratic families including upper caste Brahmins were sent to Darjeeling or Benares for studies.

The influence of great literary personalities like Lekhnath Poudyal (1884-1965), Lakshmi Prasad Devkota (1909-1965) and Balkrishna Sama (1902-1981) is very much evident on the poets associated with Apatan Sahitya Parishad . This was the time when Parasmani Pradhan , Surya Bikram Gewali and their worthy associates had already had their influences on the young poets. ‘The tide of awakening had swept throughout the area like Sikkim , Darjeeling, Benares and Dehradun . During the second and third decade of 20th century Dharanidhar Koirala’s ‘ Naibedya ’ (1920), Mahananda Sapkota’s ‘ Mana Lahari ’ (1920) marked a break with the traditi...
