Happy New Year 1128 To All Nepalese People
Saturday, November 10, 2007
Today is November 10, 2007, the first day after new moon of the Nepali month Kartik, and (this should be the drum rolling moment) Happy New Year 1128!!! I know even most of the Nepalese people might not know about this New Year. There are so many groups of people living in Nepal with different tradition and customs. It is so wonderful to have them all living in the same roof of country sharing their own values and belief. This New Year today is according to the Nepal Sambat which is a lunar calendar. Mostly the Newars of the Kathmandu Valley celebrate it taking part in a big rally throughout the valley whole days. There will be all sorts of programs and concerts, motor cycle rallies, on foot rallies, and lots more happening today. There is a long history behind the Nepal Sambat.
Well I was about to write it but I got all the details found in Wikipedia. So I would like you guys to make an effort and go there and find the true history behind this era. I know for sure you will be proud what Mr. Sankhadhar Sakhwa did for initiating this era. I also heard on the news that Newa Manka Khala (a group of Newars) have been trying to make this era our National Sambat as the Bikram Sambat that we have been following is not of our country.
All the best for the Newa Manka Khala for their effort, and with all of the Nepalese people I also cheer by saying, “Nepal Sambat Rastrya Sambat! Nhu Dhanya Vintuna! Nhu Dhanya Sa Jwona, Jhi Nepali Wei Chwona!” (Happy New Year! With New Year’s Voice, Here We Nepali Come Forward in Newari. Today in all the rallies, people will cheer these words and sing all the way).
