Namaskara!
Respected Guru,
Honorable Assembly Hall
In various platforms of the world
I presented my topics
but from this platform
I do not have capacity to present
Because,
In front of me is
my Guru who guided me,
Vidyanath Upadhaya,
who told me to go to study Tantra
and I went to Varanasi.
In this platform
respected brother Jagman is present
who told me not to cut my tuft
I have not cut my tuft ...
There are people. who brought me up,
since my childhood.
It would be like teaching my teacher
I won't present any new findings here.
Because I returned this home, after 25 years
If you go to your, parents house after 25 years
you will see that, oh this Dhupi tree has become so tall.
I had only planted this Rudraksha, It has become so big.
This room is just as it is, Oh Shiva, this has not been painted also.
These things are coming in my mind
By coming in this platform, I'm just getting gifts provided by Gurus.
During my first meeting, in this hall
Bernard Colver from Germany, had come and presented here
Guru Vidyanath Ji had organized it
At that time, University was only hypothesized
Guru Vidyanath hasn't become, Richter yet.
I went to my Guru's house.
And, Guru told, we are making it a University
You should study with full focus,
We were reading with our focus, and became more clever.
Guru called Bernard Colver, for the lunch
He called me also, and after it he told me
Maybe I should go for Germany, for Masters and Research
I told my Guru, "Please send me Varanasi"
I will come after, studying Tantra Vidya.
And, after I came, several things happened
We suffered several difficulties, to start this department also
This is not the place, to talk about those bitter things.
But I have spoken many times, In this platform as a teacher
I have taught in this same classroom, Before leaving this country.
And number of students, kept on decreasing.
Maybe I wasn't an efficient teacher
I don't want to blame students.
One time, one year became such
Student number became Zero
No new students were admitted.
President of Students union, was my nephew
"Oh Nephew, you are also President,
Please encourage some students, to study this Tantra subject"
I told him by going in the student union room itself.
He told me, 'Uncle, what to do by studying your Tantra Vidya
There is no "Future" '
He didn't say "No Bhavishya (future)"
Therefore I remembered it as, 'No "Future" '
After it I did not want to go home
I used to stay at Sitapaila, I walked this side
I went to Guhyashwari Peetha
And I told "Why you put me in this Vidya with no future
I stayed to teach students" Some inspiration came to me
What was this "Future"? "Future" was job
"Future" was foreign country. I felt too much pain.
When I realized its meaning I realized it meditating in the Peeth.
Now days for me to stay in this country, has come over, I realized this.
My Guru had sprinkled water from this Peeth and had told
"You became Purnabhishikta". Sitting in the same place I had to decide
I will go foreign land now. Please give me leave.
After 1 month of it, I left this country.
And today, we in America, In the American Academy of Religion
In the 2nd year of my going,
we told we should have conference regarding "Tantra Vidya", and started it
Now we have at least 50 professors, Various research on "Tantra Vidya"
they are doing. Organizing each years conference
First 6 years I represented it, becoming President
After it, my friends and my students are representing it.
We just, before I came here
We published "Oxford handbook of Tantrik Studies"
More than 50 foreign scholars, wrote it
and those books we will integrate, in all college curriculum also.
Whatever we could do by staying here,
one tenth of that we have done, by remaining in any corner of world.
And this inspiration of Gurus, We haven't wasted it.
Four years back I had one inspiration. I had come to Nepal.
Some recognized people I met.
They told me, "Now you only teach in America, who will teach us?"
I went and immediately, established an online curriculum
opened "Vimarsha Foundation"
after it, like the American semester courses
I started free education through Vimarsha Foundation,
which can be accessed from any part of the world.
In average 1000-1500 students join there in every classes.
Till now I have taught around 15000 students about this Vidya
and the way my students have helped me to organize this
it is all the blessings of the Guru, that I have concluded.
My Guru, Prem Chetan Vidya Bhusan Ji, he used to tell me while talking about job
"You will go to America become a professor and work there". I laughed hysterically
I didn't believe in that Vak Siddhi there, because I hadn't studied English at all.
I who hadn't studied any English, how will I be professor in America?
But it was word of the "Guru" that had to be fulfilled.
It became fulfilled anyhow.
And today coming here, I felt happy seeing one thing
My students, Madhav Lamichhane, and his friends, and Tantra charcha family
These all, brought so much awareness regarding Tantra in common people
These so many people are present here, They are present to hear this subject.
I'm feeling very proud seeing this.
Now I felt we don't have shortage of people to learn and protect Tantra
I'm grateful for that
I don't want to enter much in the subject matter.
There is already book, you can read it also.
But I have to speak few words anyway.
In that, "In context of Nepal" is added in subject topic.
In between "doglars group" and "Sanderson" these foreign scholars findings come
They established such things, In Tantra Vidya, Sri Vidya parampara
Is related to south, It came from Tamilnadu.
They concluded such in western world.
If we investigate Tantra Parampara here,
Here are many Tantra expert, Culture expert. If you go and ask them you will know
where there is Rajarajeshwari in Pashupati or Tripura Sundari in Bhaktapur
You go in villages, My brother "Ram Hari Timalsina"
He is writing a book on "Tripurasundari Parampara of Nepal"
In the Dhading district itself, there are 2 Tripura Sundari temples.
Similarly if you go in Salyan district, in the various regions of Far western
there are temples of Tripura sundari
And, speaking about cultural importance of Tripura Sundari, we find many in Nepal
Regarding Sadhakas of Nepal, Dhana Shamsher Jung Bahadur Rana
was an expert Tantrik of Nepal.
