Gunla festival: Open sky and clear clouds.
Welcome to the Gunla Parwa of Gunla Month in Nepal Sambat
During this Gunla month, the Gunla festival is celebrated exclusively in the Newa community and in some places where the Newa community is predominant, including the Kathmandu Valley.
Background of Gunla Parwa
The celebration of this festival is found to be more spiritual and contemplative in the Buddhist families of the community. Since Lord Buddha and his followers lived in the same place without traveling during the rainy season, this festival is also considered as a confluence of rain and knowledge. Especially in the Gunla festival celebrated by the Newar community, there is a tradition of going to see Lord Swayambhu in the morning. Today, special music can be heard at the crossroads of the Kathmandu Valley, while the number of devotees visiting various monasteries, temples, and spiritual places is high.
Bahidya Swavanegu Newa: is a unique part of the culture where there are instruments and music first and then devotees march. Such Jhankis can be seen in abundance in the Kathmandu Valley. Dya: Thayegu is one of the special activities of today. Today, it is customary to make small stupas using raw black clay. In Kathmandu and Lalitpur, it is customary to carry a statue of Panjara, i.e. Buddha, and other saints, and khat (Chariot) representing God in the city, and to collect items such as rice, lentils from the community.
The Buddhist way is a philosophy advocating balance where spirituality, including charity and peace, is highly valued. The statues of Dipankar Buddha and Pauva are special on this day, although Gunla is not just a one-day festival. This festival is celebrated in different ways on different dates of the lunar tithis.
Let's draw the outlines of our daily routine in the open sky and clear clouds that come with the end of the rainy season. Good luck to all.

Background:
World First Aid Day is a global annual event observed annually on the Second Saturday of every September with the intention to promote awareness about the role of first aid in saving lives.
This day has been celebrated since 2000 at the initiative of IFRC. Nepal is a beautiful country, but the fact that there has not been much improvement in public health issues for centuries and this fact opposes the natural beauty and geographical diversity. Theoretically, there shall be a health post in every village but we have seen the ugly face and limitations of the implementation side. Nepali villages are still not in the mainstream of health care due to the lack of steps of trained public health workers and conscious public health administrators and many other structural problems. Easy training and provision of primary health care would not have cost the precious life in Nepali villages for simple health and hygiene reasons.
आज कामको गति आफ्नै हातमा रहनेछ। आम्दानीसँग जोडिएको एउटा राम्रो सम्भावना देखिन्छ। नयाँ जिम्मेवारी आए पनि सम्हाल्न सकिनेछ। मनलाई अनावश्यक दबाब नदिनुहोस्। आजको शुभ रंग सिन्दुरी हो भने शुभ अंक ७ रहेको छ।
