Peace & Love

We were not put on this earth to suffer and flounder in confusion but rather to live in happiness, love, peace and understanding. Remember that the present is a gift, the past is history and the future is not yet reality. Often being kind is more important than proving you are right.

When we finally learn to see our difficulties as part of our life experience then we have the opportunity to learn from them and possibly attain enlightenment. A wise person creates a harmony between the head, the heart, and the body. When a person labors not for a livelihood but for wealth, that person is a slave. In this harmony comes the revelation of the source of one's life, the very center, the soul. There are many ways to promote peace in the world but perhaps the best way is to promote it within ourselves. We believe that every person ought to have the opportunity to find peace. The advent of the world wide web may just provide the boost in knowledge, wisdom & peace humankind has been waiting for.

Hunger & Hope

Malnutrition is a general term that indicates a lack of some or all nutritional elements necessary for human health. Poverty is the main cause of hunger. Children are the most visible victims of under nutrition.  Countries struggling with extreme poverty do not have the resources to adequately finance their own development.

Working with and through governments, while often more time-consuming and difficult to coordinate, is more effective in building needed capacity and ensuring that the results are greater than the sum of individual efforts. Essentially control over resources and income is based on military, political and economic power that typically ends up in the hands of a minority, who live well, while those at the bottom barely survive, if they do. By causing poor health, low levels of energy, and even mental impairment, hunger can lead to even greater poverty by reducing people's ability to work and learn, thus leading to even greater hunger.

The Budhanilkantha

Budhanilkantha literally means old blue-throat. Budhanilkantha Temple is located at the base of Shivapuri Hill within the Kathmandu valley on the northern side. The sculpture from the 5th century represents Vishnu's sleeping in the cosmic ocean while resting on Ananta Sesa the thousand headed snake. 

 In the small village Budhanilkantha close to the entrance of National Park Shivapuri, where you can make a pleasant forest walk and visit the spring of the holy Baghmati river. Hindus can walk down the steps and touch His feet, but foreigners cannot. The huge statue of sleeping Vishnu is carved from the single block of black stone of a type not found in the valley. The deity of Budhanilkantha was lost for a while and was later rediscovered by a farmer. It is believed that the farmers struck the buried deity with his plough and that blood came out from the ground. His four hands hold the four symbols of Vishnu: the chakra (disc), club, and conch-shell and lotus flower.

High altitude at everest

High altitude-we all enjoy that tremendous view from a high summit, but there are risks in going to high altitude, and it's important to understand these risks. As you go up a mountain, the air becomes less compressed and is therefore thinner. Continuing to higher altitudes without proper acclimatization can lead to potentially serious, even life-threatening illnesses.

 Although the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere is the same, the thinner air means there is less oxygen to breathe. The body makes a wide range of changes in order to cope better with the lack of oxygen at high altitude. This process is called acclimatization. If you haven't been to high altitude before, it's important to be cautious. The major cause of altitude illnesses is going too high too fast. A number of changes take place in the body to allow it to operate with decreased oxygen. Keep in mind that different people will acclimatize at different rates. Make sure all of your party is properly acclimatized before going higher.

The Small Arm

Small but dangerous

The fact that small arms are reported to be increasingly in circulation is worrying. Small arms are found in plenty across the border. This is how criminal groups are able to purchase them. Although their immediate targets had been political persons and government officials, in recent days, they’ve shifted their attention to small businessmen and common citizens.

Party leaders generally try to suppress reports or investigations into crimes committed by their affiliates, hampering resolution. Weak implementation of law and political protection have resulted in the breeding of criminal activities in the country. People think these will come handy in protecting themselves. But there’s always the risk of them being used carelessly during quarrels. The easy availability of small arms have also led to reports of these coming into the possession of members of the general public, under the pretext of self-defense. It’s only if NGOs, INGOs, political parties, local leaders and other community elements all work together in creating awareness about the risks of using small arms, that a climate to resolve the predicament can be created.
