Buddhism in Nepal

Buddhism is another main religion in Nepal. The founder of Buddism religion Siddhartha Gautam Buddha was born in Nepal at kapilvastu district around 500 B.C. He was born as a prince and was raise with a luxuries life. It was predicted that he would one day leave all the luxury and leave his family and would go in search of peace and knowledge in the world. So he was kept away from all the misery of the world from his childhood. But one day he came into contact with all the misery of people in his state so he went for the meaning of suffering and ways to eliminate them.

After a long meditation and studying he finally got the answer of his questions.

Hindu God and Goddess

I am a person from a typical Hindu family and I perform most of the rituals and religious activities according to my religion. People think Hiduism is one of the most complicated religion but I think it's just different from other religion. There are many ritauls and religious activities that a Hindu must follow in his life. We have rituals need to perform from someone's birth to someone's death and yes; lots of other rituals through the whole lifetime. Temple is our religious place where we worshipp our god and goddess.

There are more than 33 billion god and goddess according to the Hindusiam. Our god and goddess are very different and may be strange to most of the people. Mostly,our god and goddess have multi hands and heads. The god and goddess having multi hands represent their power and having multi heads represent their wisdom. Every god has its own importance and each religion is significant. However, the main theme of every religion is same;peace brotherhood and humanity.

The festival of light

Deepawali is my second graetest festival celebrated by almost all of the Hindus in the world. It is also called "Tihar" in my home country. Generally, it last for 5 days. We worshipp crow,dog,cow,ox and our brothers and sisters in each of the days. Goddess Laxmi, The goddess of wealth is maily worshipped and various rituals are performed. We light our house with candles, electric blubs and with the diyos( small candles made out of clay).
People buy new jweleries, furnitures,silver and gold believing that this will bring then good luck in this occasion. We even make a special kind of bread and sweets for this occasion. Mostly children play "deusi and bhailo" (they sing songs about the festivals and they would get money,bread and sweets).

We even light fire and crackes by our own self at each of the homes. People clean each and every corner of their home and decorated with special kind of marigold flowers.At the last day of this festival, we worshipp our brothers and pray for their long and healthy life. This helps to make their relationship even more stronger.

My National Flag

Have you ever seen a triangular flag which is actually a national flag of a country?

Well, My home country has a triangular falg as a national flag. People think its strange and funny but i think its extra ordinary and looks cool. There are mainly 3 colors used in the flag which hold their own significant symbolic meanings. The border of the flag is dark blue which describes the behaviour of Nepalese as a peace loving people and their feeling of brotherhood towards others. It also says resembles the blue sky and the ocean which is comparable to our big hearts and feeling for others.

The background is red which symbolizes the blood and which depict the history of our great warrirors and the brave Gurkhas. It also says that" we do not let anyone be alive if they try to harm our motherland but we can even scarify ourselves for our friends and well wishers."

Finally ,the white half moon and the sun represents the purity. It also says "As long as there are sun and moon in the universe, no one could harm the independent existence of Nepal".
