19th August 2016
It was one of the country's popular holidays to celebrate Gai Jatra. Looking at the cheerful faces of assemblies everywhere , one could not but admire that the indomitable spirit of Nepalese has not been broken by the devastating quakes last year . It was heartening to interact with several youth at the satsang in the Capital drawn to spiritual path. A talented young artist in the assembly sprang a surprise with a scroll of his on- the- spot sketch. The event also gave us an opportunity to honour some of the pillars of the Foundation.
Celebrations bring people together and uplift the societal consciousness. Though the origin of Gai Jatra is medieval, yet it brings families especially those grief stricken together to participate in assemblies where jokes, satire, mockery and lampoon flow aplenty to help de-stress!
