WEBVTT

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Namaskara!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Respected Guru,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Honorable Assembly Hall

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In various platforms of the world

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I presented my topics

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but from this platform

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I do not have capacity to present

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In front of me is

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
my Guru who guided me,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Vidyanath Upadhaya,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who told me to go to study Tantra

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I went to Varanasi.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In this platform

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
respected brother Jagman is present

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who told me 
not to cut my tuft

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have not cut my
tuft ...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are people.
who brought me up,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
since my childhood.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It would be like
teaching my teacher

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I won't present any
new findings here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because I returned this home,
after 25 years

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you go to your,
parents house after 25 years

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you will see that,
oh this Dhupi tree has become so tall.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I had only planted this Rudraksha,
It has become so big.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This room is just as it is,
Oh Shiva, this has not been painted also.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These things are coming
in my mind

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
By coming in this platform,
I'm just getting gifts provided by Gurus.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
During my first meeting,
in this hall

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Bernard Colver from Germany,
had come and presented here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Guru Vidyanath Ji had
organized it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
At that time,
University was only hypothesized

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Guru Vidyanath hasn't become,
Richter yet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I went to my Guru's house.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And, Guru told,
we are making it a University

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You should study with full
focus,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We were reading with our focus,
and became more clever.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Guru called Bernard Colver,
for the lunch

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He called me also,
and after it he told me

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe I should go for Germany,
for Masters and Research

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I told my Guru,
"Please send me Varanasi"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I will come after,
studying Tantra Vidya.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And, after I came,
several things happened

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We suffered several difficulties,
to start this department also

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is not the place,
to talk about those bitter things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I have spoken many times,
In this platform as a teacher

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have taught in this same classroom,
Before leaving this country.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And number of students,
kept on decreasing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe I wasn't an
efficient teacher

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't want to 
blame students.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One time,
one year became such


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Student number became Zero

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No new students
were admitted.


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
President of Students union,
was my nephew

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Oh Nephew, you are also President,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Please encourage some students,
to study this Tantra subject"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I told him by going in
the student union room itself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He told me, 'Uncle, what to do 
by studying your Tantra Vidya

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There is no "Future" '

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He didn't say "No Bhavishya (future)"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Therefore I remembered it as,
'No "Future" '

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After it I did not want 
to go home

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I used to stay at Sitapaila,
I walked this side

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I went to Guhyashwari Peetha

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I told "Why you put me
in this Vidya with no future

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I stayed to teach students"
Some inspiration came to me

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What was this "Future"?
"Future" was job

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Future" was foreign country.
I felt too much pain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I realized its meaning
I realized it meditating in the Peeth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now days for me to stay in this country,
has come over, I realized this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My Guru had sprinkled water
from this Peeth and had told

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"You became Purnabhishikta".
Sitting in the same place I had to decide

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I will go foreign land now.
Please give me leave.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After 1 month of it,
I left this country.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And today, we in America,
In the American Academy of Religion

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the 2nd year of my going,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we told we should have conference
regarding "Tantra Vidya", and started it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now we have at least 50 professors,
Various research on "Tantra Vidya"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they are doing. Organizing
each years conference

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
First 6 years I represented it,
becoming President

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After it, my friends
and my students are representing it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We just,
before I came here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We published
"Oxford handbook of Tantrik Studies"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
More than 50 foreign scholars,
wrote it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and those books we will integrate,
in all college curriculum also.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Whatever we could do by staying here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one tenth of that we have done,
by remaining in any corner of world.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this inspiration of Gurus,
We haven't wasted it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Four years back I had one inspiration.
I had come to Nepal.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Some recognized people I met.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They told me, "Now you only teach
in America, who will teach us?"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I went and immediately,
established an online curriculum

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
opened "Vimarsha Foundation"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
after it, like the American semester
courses

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I started free education
through Vimarsha Foundation,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which can be accessed from
any part of the world.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In average 1000-1500 students
join there in every classes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Till now I have taught around 15000 
students about this Vidya

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the way my students have helped
me to organize this

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it is all the blessings of the Guru,
that I have concluded.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My Guru, Prem Chetan Vidya Bhusan Ji,
he used to tell me while talking about job

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"You will go to America become a professor
and work there". I laughed hysterically

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I didn't believe in that Vak Siddhi there,
because I hadn't studied English at all.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I who hadn't studied any English,
how will I be professor in America?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But it was word of the "Guru"
that had to be fulfilled.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It became fulfilled anyhow.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And today coming here,
I felt happy seeing one thing

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My students, Madhav Lamichhane,
and his friends, and Tantra charcha family

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These all, brought so much awareness
regarding Tantra in common people

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These so many people are present here,
They are present to hear this subject.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm feeling very proud seeing this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now I felt we don't have shortage 
of people to learn and protect Tantra

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm grateful for that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't want to enter much
in the subject matter.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There is already book,
you can read it also.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I have to speak
few words anyway.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In that, "In context of Nepal"
is added in subject topic.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In between "doglars group" and "Sanderson"
these foreign scholars findings come

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They established such things,
In Tantra Vidya, Sri Vidya parampara

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Is related to south, It came from
Tamilnadu.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They concluded such in western world.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If we investigate Tantra Parampara here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here are many Tantra expert, Culture expert.
If you go and ask them you will know

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where there is Rajarajeshwari in Pashupati
or Tripura Sundari in Bhaktapur

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You go in villages,
My brother "Ram Hari Timalsina"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He is writing a book on
"Tripurasundari Parampara of Nepal"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the Dhading district itself,
there are 2 Tripura Sundari temples.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Similarly if you go in Salyan district,
in the various regions of Far western

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there are temples of Tripura sundari

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And, speaking about cultural importance of
Tripura Sundari, we find many in Nepal

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Regarding Sadhakas of Nepal,
Dhana Shamsher Jung Bahadur Rana

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was an expert Tantrik of Nepal.
