Industrialist Maharjan passes away

Apr. 17, 2009

Karma he jivan khah- Work is life” was his motto, Karma Lal Maharjan a well known industrialist of Kathmandu passed away on Friday, the Nepal Samvat 1129 Chaula Ga (10th April) in Kathmandu. He was 73, when he left his wife, three sons and their spouses, four daughters and their spouses, 12 grand children, two brothers, three sisters, many more nephews, nieces and grand children. His son Dr. Keshav Lal Maharjan, a professor at Hiroshima University tells us that “there are 108 of us, the siblings of his parents, still living as an extended family.” His last rites were performed by Vajrayana Buddhist Gurujus with the funeral procession led by Newah ritual musical instrumental band and joined by his relatives, guthiyars, friends and community people followed by his family members, was more than one kilometer long.

Shahu Karma Lal

Late Karma shahu was the founder of several business and industrial entities and has provided jobs to thousands in his life time. He was a very hardworking, pious and loving man, full of compassion and truthfulness. Anyone, who comes in contact with him, would be influenced by his admirable nature. He is known to have worked harder from his childhood from farming to business and industries. In the later part of his life, he had spent days in social services and works of religious merits and contributed in what ever way he could for the cause of society and the people around him. In his honour, Theravada Bhikkhus, Vajrayana gurujus, and Lama priests offered prayers and perform traditional rituals to wish him a suffering less supreme Nirvana or to attain to Shukhavati Bhuvana while many including Namasangiti, Gyanamala Bhajan Khalah volunteered to read hymns and prayers offering condolences for the past seven days.

The Newah extends our deepest condolences to bereaved family of Karma Lal Maharjan including his son Professor Keshav Maharjan, a good friend of Newah community in Japan and advisor to Nepal Federation of Indigenous Community Japan.

New Year’s greetings – time to choose correct New Year

Apr. 13, 2009

Tomorrow is the 1st day of Vaisakh of the Vikram Era year 2066. It is indeed a happy New Year day for those who celebrate it in India and Nepal and elsewhere. We Nepalese have been celebrating it as our New Year day since long. But it is no more a secret that we Nepalese have our own Nepal Era while Indian Bikram Era was tactfully introduced by Rana regime at the expense of Nepal Era and Nepal Era has already been reinstated as Nepal’s National calendar since 1stday of Kachhala month of Nepal Era 1129 (29 October 2008). The Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” himself declared the Government’s decision publicly on the very first day of the Nepal Era New year’s day. There are and will be opponents to this decision as there are always opponents for worthy decisions in our pathetic native land Nepal, when intruders have bigger hands on it. It is time for the Informed Nepalese to choose the correct New Year to celebrate and send out greetings!

Time to choose our New Year!
