Gydee ka baje and my Kushma journey and Dhakani,rice pudding

Story of Kushma in Google and wikipedia is the main interesting theme of my netserfing ,when a farmer like me  grows up in Panchamul areas ,I must visit Trisahid Ma Vi with my di and Kusma and Gyadee baje story are the interesting parts ,you just love areas because you need friends and relatives in life and local level farming is the main aspect of my life.Our ancestors have been living here and gyadee baje has been my favorite,he was very dark in skin and with short tempered and the smoky habit made me sick everyday.I was a fool who loved to listen him,he was deaf and used to make short sample of local mud house as leisure activity and I kept on listening his bakwas everyday.The old lady had been providing us milk to have and we were told to prepared Dhakani there in short time,she was in hurry so her busy schedule compelled me to note down the ingredients of Dhakani ,I started to take a note as mentioned by him.
Dhakani is a sweet snack made from rice. One of the traditional snacks made in Nepal, it is popular for its taste, health benefits and for gratifying hunger. Dhakani is popular all over Nepal, and although maybe known by different names at different places, the taste of it is more or less similar. Dhakani is usually made with Basmati rice, Chandanchur or other types of rice known as masino chamal is Nepal which also helps in enhancing its taste and giving pleasant smell. Making this cuisine is easy and although it takes slightly longer time, the result is worth the effort. But even though it is sweet, it cannot be served as a dessert as it is comparatively heavier due to the presence of rice. 
Anyway she prepared the meal I had there and a boy started describing facts about the bridge there, the huge Kushma-Gyadi catenary suspension footbridge is one of the world’s highest of its type. Crossing 384 feet (117 mtrs) above the Madi River, the trail bridge is also one of Nepal’s longest with a span of 1,128 feet (344 mtrs). I felt he could help to me to reach there and I started following him.The moment I reached  there Gyadee  ka baje gave me  a call to have snapshots there and I tried to search a camera for me.We took some pictures there and returned to home to have light snacks , makai and mohi there and started watching television news about Kushma market .

Chhote Chote Gaiya Chhote Chhote gwal chhoto chhha maro madan gopal

Chhhoto chhoto gaiya 
chhoto chhoto gwal 
chhoto chhha maro madan gopal,
hari chhoto chha maro madan Gopal

The song played in music track reminds me many things.Krishna ,Madan Gopal  is the realisation of a human being. As a naughty child (maakhan chor), mischevious teenager (raas-lilas), passionate lover (gopis), valiant warrior (killed many rakshasas other than Kansa), powerful saviour (Goverdhan Lila), shrewd statesman (established Dwarka), dear friend (Sudama), wise guide (Arjuna), virtous teacher (Geeta saar) and an extremely manipulating strategist (Mahabharata), he has shown a whole spectrum of qualities a man must possess in order to become a legend that is chanted through the ages.

He was not perfect, not even close as far as I'm concerned, but he did justify the quote- 'Ends justify the means". The bottomline being, if in order to fulfill your Dharma, if you have to twist a few fingers than so be it. That is the reality of the world as we know it even today 4500 years after he existed.


Krishna deals with realities of the universe, battles between worlds, and stakes that are way higher .  Krishna has no problems holding centre stage.  The sheer weight of the Bhagawad Gita should remove all doubts as to who is the more heroic of the two.

As for the means Krishna used, I have no problems, for, as in the Gita, through Arjuna, when he said, "I'm the beginning, and the end, and all that lies in between", cleared up Arjuna's karma yoga so he became the full realization of his potential as a warrior.

Lotus curry recipe and the facts

To make the lotus root curry, wash the lotus root and cut into small pieces. Place it in a pan and add the fenugreek, salt, turmeric, chilli powder, fresh chilli, tomato and coconut milk, and cook for about 10 minutes or until the lotus root is cooked. Add the lotus fruit seeds to thicken the curry.Mom was shouting a lot ,I just ran around Durga Temple near Amarpokharee,the school located nearby the temple was the first choice of destination.But the friends circle always  felt happy to collect lotus in Amarpokharee,one need to just find out the root of lotus.

Then collect in bucket and take to home for daily meals.Obviously the flavor varies according to recipe and my momma has never left any chances to learn the recipe from book at home,I just love the taste of lotus as yummy cuisine. I started reading the information about the recipe and tried to explore the ideas about lotus.Lotus root is the long, tubular rhizome (or stem) of the plant known for its pale pink, white or yellow blooms. 

The rhizome has an ‘eye’ at one end, from which small roots extend into the ground and an internode at the other, from which numerous tubers can extend. Growing in strands, like links of sausages growing up from the mud, the stem can grow up to four feet in length. Young Lotus root can have a light purple or white skin; when mature, Lotus root has a brown-beige skin and its size can vary from short and squat to longer and narrow. 

Under the thin-skin, etched into the creamy white flesh of the Lotus root is a series of air pockets patterned in a pin-wheel shape that appear as if they once held seeds. These seed-shaped pockets allow for the foliage to rest buoyantly in water while the plant is alive. The root has a dense, crunchy and starchy texture with a faintly nutty and sweet flavor, similar to that of a water chestnut or taro root. The younger roots are more tender and used for fresh culinary purposes whereas mature roots are preferred in dried form. Lotus root can be found peeled and packed in a brine, frozen or dried. 


Lotus root is high in dietary fiber and is considered a good food source for energy, as it is high in carbohydrates and low in fat and protein. Cooked Lotus root can strengthen the spleen, promote functional activity of the stomach and promote tissue regeneration. The Lotus flower is considered sacred and revered by the Hindus and Buddhists as a symbol of purity, perfection and beauty. The Chinese consider Lotus root to have a “cooling effect” on the blood, and is used in ancient medicine for stimulating the appetite. 


Lotus has an archaeological history in China that dates back 7,000 years, and is where the plant is believed to have originated. The use of the root as food stretches back to nearly five thousand years ago. Lotus is grown primarily in China, Japan, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines, though it has a wide distribution around the world. Today, only two varieties of Lotus root exist; white or pink flowered Lotus, which is the Chinese variety and the yellow flowered Lotus, which is found in the Americas.

Khasta actually means "flaky" and this flaky kachori is filled with a delectable moong dal mixture and deep fried. Remember to fry the kachori on a very slow flame so that the crust is crisp and gets cooked on the inside. A perfect kachori is one that is puffed up and flaky outside but hollow inside. Top them with curds and chutneys to make an irresistible chaat. Also these kachoris can be stored in air-tight containers for upto a week.Who can resist the temptation of fresh, deep-fried jalebis garnished with aromatic saffron strands?

Devibhagawat in Baba Bard Goriya Temple

The question is very simple in presentation but meaning is deep or underlying sometimes I wonder people ask question which has very simple meaning in it and the public gathering and detailed analysis of field or spot with the mass observation to deal with local language ,cuisine,oneness and the communication with colors and flavors with earthly ornaments named herbs and shurbs and beautiful presentation is interesting matter.I saw a beautiful girl working with children in need as a girl I felt surprised ,I did not know how to act only my eyes analyzed and my fingers pressed the buttons of laptop.

Devibhagawat has been the most interesting event for my mom,she wanted to do a puja in a temple she loved and Baba Bard Goriya Temple has been her first choice,the mango tress there and statues where I always tried to touch to realize Lord Shiva in my self.I do not know the exact idea of being good human being in presentable manner but I know I have the sense to be good and feel good although I am found being fragile in many matters and my self realization of being good comes with the smell of agarbattee ,made of local herbs and prasad using local ghee and other products.I just remember how we ran around the mango tress and searched each ripe mango during summer with friends and my friends circle were very curious about the clean water of Bhumahi River where we spent our whole days with friends .

If you are a member of  the village where green forest welcome you everyday ,you just love jamun there,and if there is Puja in the temple you just love to be a devotee with ringbell of temple and Baba Bard Goriya Temple has been a heart for us ,we gathered there and chitchat all the thing there,our local handmade gundro was the best mat for us and the decoration with wild shurbs was the best part of our days and listened the priests preaching the texts of Puran related to Devi Mata.

According to Devi Bhagawat Purana, Adi Para Shakti, the Goddess or Devi, is the Supreme Being who is recognised as Para Brahman. Devi Bhagawat MahaPurana suggests that Adi Parashakti is the original creator, observer and destroyer of the whole universe. In short, she is Adi Shakti. It says that Lord Shiva worshiped and meditated on Adishakti for thousands of years, using the beej mantra "Kleem". She then incarnated in front of him in the form of Sidhidaatri as such she appeared from the left half of Lord Shiva. The same purana mentions Parvati, the goddess of power and beauty, is considered her Sagun Swaroop (manifested form). Adi Shakti, the primordial power behind the universe, takes birth as Parvati. Recognising this connection, Parvati is known as Adi Shakti.
The Goddess Adi Para shakti is also considered to be the truly supreme spirit without form (Param Atman). She is the Great Goddess, and all other goddesses and even all the gods are her various forms, says the Devi Gita from Shakti Mahabhagawat Purana. This Purana mentions that Parvati is the "saguna swaroop" or manifested form. According to the Devi Bhagwata Purana, Parvati is the lineal progenitor of all other goddesses (who are essentially her various forms and names). It is believed that Adi Shakti divided herself into the material Shakti (as Durga or Parvati), Vidya Shakti (as Kali), and Maya Shakti (as Yog Maya). So, it means that all the goddesses are essentially incarnations of the same principle Mother form.
Maa Saraswati is the first incarnation of Goddess Adi Para Shakti. She represents the Sattva Guna and is the "shakti" (consort) of Lord Brahma. She is the goddess of wisdom, creation and learning. She is the source of all the arts. She was created from the body of Mother Parvati and is the embodiment of her hard work, spirituality and devotion. She is also known as Ambika Devi as per the Durga Saptashati.
In Devi Mahatmyam, Trimurti and demigods praise Adi shakti ~ We bow to the first female (Narayani), The eternal energy who creates, sustains and destroys all the elements i.e. tatva and the one who is truly supreme spirit (Nirgun) at the time who encapsulate all the attributes for Generation, Observation and destruction.
 
Such mass celebration of such purans help me a lot to understand everything around me,the books from Banaras  ,visual images and other presentation of statues with prasad helped me a lot to realize the word trust in self.I Know Baba Bard Goriya temple is the temple of Lord Shiva and Devi is her part and my mind always asks the questions about Gayatree mantra used there what is the reason we just feel you when you come to our mind as spell and as love when we are alone thinking of you.
 
I just tried to make a sketch of my friends ,watched televisions shows ,used some gadgets but I never understand the value of bhandara in such Bhagawat,why they make us so dynosiac even if we try to be part of Lord Shiva,a story from Sunwal to Amar Pokharee,Kul Mandir all stand as a visual image to my eyes and I just keep on dreaming them all the time and feel meditation as remedy when I take part in such Bhagawat held in Baba Bard Goriya temple by the committee members there.
