The Justice of Karma and the Beauty of Patience

“I have no desire to take revenge on anyone, because bad fruit falls from the tree on its own—there is no need to shake it down.”

— Mohan Rajtharu Dhimal

In human life, we often face injustice, insult, or pain. In such moments, the feeling of revenge may naturally arise in many hearts. However, true maturity is shown when a person remains calm and trusts in time and the justice of one’s actions.

If we observe nature, any fruit on a tree falls on its own when it ripens. There is no need to force it down. In the same way, the results of good or bad deeds eventually reveal themselves. This reflects the law of karma, which teaches that everyone experiences the consequences of their own actions.

Revenge offers only temporary satisfaction, but it also brings negativity and unrest into the mind. On the other hand, patience, forgiveness, and positive thinking provide inner peace. When we focus not on revenge but on self-improvement, growth, and doing good, we become truly strong and wise.

This statement teaches us that injustice should not be answered with more injustice, but with tolerance and faith. Time is the greatest judge, and it never allows wrongdoing to prevail forever.

Ultimately, true victory in life lies not in taking revenge, but in rising above it. So let the bad fruit fall on its own—while we strive to remain like a tree that is always green and fruitful.

जातिरी & सिरिजात : आस्था, परम्परा र प्रकृतिसँगको सम्बन्ध
लेखक – मोहन राजथारू धिमाल
मिति – २०८३ साल बैशाख २ गते, बुधवार

धिमाल जातिको मौलिक तथा ऐतिहासिक पर्व “जातिरी & सिरिजात” हरेक वर्ष नयाँ वर्षसँगै सुरु भई विशेष उत्साहका साथ मनाइन्छ। २०८३ साल बैशाख २ गते राजारानी, लेटाङ–१ (मोरङ) स्थित धिमाल जातिको उद्गम स्थलबाट यस पर्वको शुभारम्भ हुँदैछ। यो पर्व केवल धार्मिक अनुष्ठान मात्र नभई प्रकृतिसँगको सम्बन्ध, सामाजिक एकता र सांस्कृतिक निरन्तरताको जीवन्त प्रतीक हो।

यस पर्वमा राज धामी, हनुवा, माझिबाराङ लगायतका पुजारीहरूको विशेष भूमिका रहन्छ भने स्थानीय गाउँघरका सदस्यहरूको सक्रिय सहभागिता रहन्छ। पूजा तथा प्रार्थना तीन दिनसम्म निरन्तर गरिन्छ। पहिलो दिन सामूहिक रूपमा “जिउरी मुठि” संकलन गरिन्छ। ढोल बजाउँदै घरदैलो गरिने यस प्रक्रियामा प्रत्येक घरबाट चामल, चिउरा, भुजा, रक्सी तथा नगद संकलन गरिन्छ। यसले समुदायमा सहयोग, सद्भाव र एकताको भावना झल्काउँछ। सोही दिन “नारिया” र “ओह्या” सृरजाईका कार्यहरू पनि सम्पन्न गरिन्छन्।

दोस्रो दिन मुख्य पूजा गरिन्छ। ग्राम थानमा धिमाल जातिले सत्ययुगदेखि मान्दै आएका इष्टदेवताहरूलाई विशेष स्थानमा राखी पूजा–अर्चना गरिन्छ। धिमाली मुन्धुमि भाषामा देव-देवताका नाम उच्चारण गर्दै पुजाअाजा (दियो) बालिन्छ र फलफूल, केला, अक्षेता तथा प्रसाद अर्पण गरिन्छ। साथै, परम्पराअनुसार सुगुर, बोका, भाले, हाँस, परेवा आदि बली दिइन्छ। यो दिन श्रद्धा, भक्ति र सांस्कृतिक गरिमाले भरिएको हुन्छ।

तेस्रो दिन प्रसाद ग्रहण, सामूहिक खानपिन, सरसफाइ तथा बिदाइ कार्यक्रम गरिन्छ। मुख्य पुजारीहरू—राजधामी, हनुवा र माझिबाराङलाई सम्मानपूर्वक सलामी चढाई विदा गरिन्छ। यससँगै पर्वको औपचारिक समापन हुन्छ र सहभागीहरू आफ्ना घर फर्किन्छन्।

यस पर्वको मूल उद्देश्य केवल पूजा मात्र नभई समग्र मानव जीवन र प्रकृतिको कल्याणको कामना गर्नु पनि हो। धिमाल जातिका परिवारहरूका साथै सम्पूर्ण नेपालीजनमा रोगव्याधि नलागोस्, बाली बिरुवा लगाउने समयमा पर्याप्त वर्षात होस्, जंगली जनावरबाट दुःख नपरोस्, र कुनै पनि प्रकारका प्राकृतिक विपत्तिका घटनाहरू नहुन् भन्ने हार्दिक कामना गरिन्छ। यसले प्रकृतिप्रतिको सम्मान र सहअस्तित्वको सन्देश दिन्छ।

अन्त्यमा, धिमाल जातिको उद्गम स्थल लेटाङ–१, राजारानी (मोरङ) मा हुने “जातिरी” पूजामा सम्पूर्ण धर्मावलम्बी तथा श्रद्धालु महानुभावहरूलाई हार्दिक स्वागत तथा निमन्त्रणा व्यक्त गर्दछु। यो पर्वले हामी सबैलाई एकताबद्ध बनाउँदै हाम्रो मौलिक पहिचानलाई अझ सुदृढ बनाओस् भन्ने अपेक्षा राखिएको छ। 🙏

सुनखरी फुल र धिमाल समुदायको “जातिरी & सिरिजात” पर्व

लेखक – मोहन राजथारू धिमाल

प्रकृतिको सुन्दर उपहारमध्ये एक हो—सुनखरी फूल। वनजंगलको रुखका हाँगामा टाँसिएर झुन्डिएका गुलाबी–सेता फुलका गुच्छाहरूले वातावरणलाई अनुपम सौन्दर्यले भरिदिन्छन्। विशेषगरी चैत्र महिनाको अन्तिम हप्तादेखि बैशाख महिनासम्म मात्र फुल्ने यो सुनखरी फूल केवल प्राकृतिक आकर्षण मात्र नभई सांस्कृतिक संकेत पनि हो। यसको फुल्ने समयसँगै धिमाल समुदायमा “जातिरी & सिरिजात” जस्तो महान राष्ट्रिय पर्वको आगमनको सूचना मिल्छ।

धिमाल समुदाय प्रकृतिसँग नजिक रहेर जीवनयापन गर्ने आदिवासी समुदाय हो। यहाँका परम्परा, संस्कार र चाडपर्वहरू सधैं ऋतु परिवर्तन र प्राकृतिक संकेतसँग जोडिएका छन्। सुनखरी फूल फुल्नु पनि त्यस्तै एउटा संकेत हो, जसले नयाँ वर्षको आगमन र सामूहिक उत्सवको समय आएको जनाउँछ। जब जंगलभरि सुनखरी फुल्न थाल्छ, तब गाउँघरमा उत्साह, उमंग र धार्मिक आस्थाको वातावरण फैलिन्छ।

“जातिरी & सिरिजात” पर्व धिमाल समुदायको मौलिक पहिचान बोकेको महत्वपूर्ण चाड हो। यस अवसरमा समुदायका मानिसहरू आफ्नो परम्परागत वेशभूषामा सजिएर ग्राम थानमा भेला हुन्छन्। पूजापाठ, नाचगान, सामूहिक भोजन र आपसी सद्भाव आदान–प्रदान यस पर्वका प्रमुख विशेषता हुन्। विशेषगरी माझी बाराङ, राजधामी, हनुवाहरू तथा स्थानिय धिमाल समुदायका अगुवाहरूको नेतृत्वमा विधिपूर्वक पूजा सम्पन्न गरिन्छ, जसले समुदायको एकता र सांस्कृतिक निरन्तरतालाई बलियो बनाउँछ।

सुनखरी फूल यहाँ केवल फूल मात्र होइन, यो शुभ संकेतको प्रतीक हो। यसले नयाँ सुरुवात, समृद्धि र प्राकृतिक सन्तुलनको सन्देश दिन्छ। पुराना पुस्ताहरूले सुनखरी फुल्ने समयलाई हेरेर नै पर्वको तयारी सुरु गर्ने चलन अझै जीवित छ। यसले देखाउँछ कि आधुनिकताको प्रभावका बीच पनि धिमाल समुदायले आफ्नो मौलिक परम्परा र प्रकृतिप्रतिको सम्बन्धलाई जोगाइरहेको छ।

आजको समयमा वन विनाश, जलवायु परिवर्तनजस्ता चुनौतीहरूका कारण सुनखरी जस्ता बहुमूल्य वनस्पतिहरू जोखिममा पर्न थालेका छन्। त्यसैले, यस फूलको संरक्षण गर्नु केवल जैविक विविधताको लागि मात्र होइन, सांस्कृतिक अस्तित्वको लागि पनि आवश्यक छ। यदि सुनखरी हरायो भने, यससँग जोडिएको सांस्कृतिक चेतना र पर्वको मौलिकता पनि कमजोर हुन सक्छ।

अतः सुनखरी फूल र “जातिरी & सिरिजात” पर्वबीचको सम्बन्ध धिमाल समुदायको प्रकृति र संस्कृतिको गहिरो समन्वयको उत्कृष्ट उदाहरण हो। यसले हामीलाई हाम्रो पहिचान, परम्परा र प्रकृतिको सम्मान गर्न प्रेरित गर्दछ।

" Poem "
Author – Mohan Rajtharu Dhimal

Title – The Year 2082

This year—
a strange, wondrous year,
pasted upon the pages of time
with countless questions—
“Who knows what? Who knows why?”
The heart kept asking itself,
while answers drifted like clouds.
Standing at the edge of history,

I looked into my own life—
those days scorched by the sun,
those nights soaked in rain,
letters of struggle
stirring deep within my eyes.
In the heart of the village,
a dream began to beat—
the “One Brick Campaign.”
It was not just construction,
but a foundation of trust,
a touch of togetherness,
a light of collective spirit.

That building,
woven with the breath of the elderly—
became our love, our duty,
a reflection of our identity.
With a year’s worth of sweat,
we reached eighty percent height,
yet the dream still hangs in the sky.

Then came the storm of time—
Bhadra 23 and 24,
the waves of the Gen Z movement
slightly bent our path,
our slowed for a while,
but our faith never trembled.

And Falgun brought another tale—
the loud colors of elections,
people lost in the crowds,
the atmosphere shifting its rhythm,
the voice of our campaign
fading for a moment.

Yet—
we did not tire,
we did not stop.
Carrying both joy and pain,
gathering dust from every doorstep,
leaving aside personal desires,
we chose to struggle with time.

The vow to complete it within a year—
still remains unfinished,
yet even in incompleteness,
the flame of hope has not gone out.
Holding the hands of our dear ones,
we continue telling the story—
of unity,
of cooperation,
of building a brighter tomorrow.

This year—
a truly strange year,
a school of struggle,
a test of faith.
And in the end—
it has taught us this:
no matter how harsh time becomes,
if the heart stays strong,
even unfinished dreams
will one day become a complete song.

My Life Journey Shaped by Struggle, Discipline, and Dedication

I was born in a small village called Sano Arnakhadi, located in the former Mechi Zone of Jhapa district, under Damak Municipality Ward No. 15 (currently Ward No. 9). Our village, with only about 65–70 households, was simple, peaceful, and deeply rooted in a hardworking lifestyle. I began my educational journey at the age of five by enrolling in Grade 1 at Shree Panini Lower Secondary School. My respected teacher, Chhatra Bhakta Hada, played a vital role in building the foundation of my education. With dedication and perseverance, I successfully passed the SLC examination in 2054 B.S.

My childhood was filled with discipline and hard work. Early in the morning, I used to take our 15–20 goats to graze for 2–3 hours at Dakini Jhora. From around 4/5 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., we worked in the fields ploughing and farming. After bathing and eating, I went to school at 9:30 a.m. Upon returning at 4 p.m., I had to collect grass and firewood. After my elder sisters got married in 2047 B.S., I also had to take responsibility for cooking at home. My father never allowed us to sit idle. Since I had very little time to study during the day, I used to wake up at 2:30 a.m. to study, despite being tired from daily labor. My father, being a hardworking farmer, raised cattle, pigs, goats, and poultry, and his dedication inspired me deeply.

We are five brothers and three sisters, and I am the middle son. Despite limited resources, only my younger sister and I were able to complete a Master’s degree, which remains a rare achievement in our village even up to 2082 B.S. Academically, I passed my I.A. in 2056/57 B.S., completed my Bachelor’s degree in 2062/63 B.S., and finally earned my Master’s degree in 2014/15 A.D.

I entered the teaching profession in 2057 B.S. and continued teaching until 2078 B.S. During this period, I taught various subjects including Social Studies, Science, Computer, Mathematics, and English. I always handed over my salary to my mother, who managed the household expenses wisely.

In 2056/57 B.S., after meeting Ram Prasad Dhimal from Madhumalla, I was inspired to engage in social work. From 2057 B.S. Poush 8, I formally began my journey as a social activist through the Dhimal Students Forum, where I served as the founding secretary.

I also contributed to the publication of the “Soloi” magazine and collaborated with several individuals to uplift and connect the Dhimal community. Up to 2082 B.S., I have remained actively involved in the Dhimal National Development Center at the central level. Recently, I have also contributed to the “One Brick Campaign” for the construction of a Senior Citizens’ Building at the Dhimal project site in Urlabari, Morang.

In my personal life, I got married to Pavimaya on Magh 24, 2066 B.S. We are blessed with two daughters: Varosha Dhimal, born on Mangsir 2, 2069 B.S., and Zonzota Dhimal, born on Jestha 27, 2072 B.S.

Thus, my life journey continues to move forward, shaped by struggle, discipline, and a deep commitment to society.

सेउपाखा & दाेमचाखा,
२०८२/१२/२३
“सबै फूलहरू आफ्नै समयमा फुल्ने गर्दछन् । अरू फुलेको देखेर डाह नगर ।” भन्ने भनाइले जीवनको गहिरो सत्यलाई सरल रूपमा प्रस्तुत गरेको छ। प्रकृतिमा कुनै पनि फूल एकै समयमा फुल्दैनन्। कसैले चाँडो फुल्छ, कसैले ढिलो। तर सबै फूलको आफ्नै सुन्दरता र महत्त्व हुन्छ। यही कुरा मानिसको जीवनमा पनि लागू हुन्छ।

मानिसहरू प्रायः अरूसँग आफ्नाे तुलना गर्ने गर्छन्। कोही साथी छिट्टै सफल भयो, राम्रो जागिर पायो, धन कमायो वा नाम कमायो भने हामीलाई पनि त्यस्तै हुनुपर्ने जस्तो लाग्छ। त्यहीँबाट डाह, असन्तुष्टि र निराशा जन्मिन्छ। तर हामीले बुझ्नुपर्ने कुरा के हो भने प्रत्येक व्यक्तिको जीवनयात्रा फरक हुन्छ। हरेक मानिससँग आफ्नै क्षमता, परिस्थिति र समय हुन्छ।

कसैको सफलता छिटो आउँछ भने कसैको ढिलो, तर ढिलो आएको सफलता पनि उतिकै मूल्यवान हुन्छ। फूलहरू जस्तै, मानिसहरू पनि आफ्नो समय आएपछि मात्र पूर्ण रूपमा फुल्न सक्छन्। यदि हामीले अरूको सफलता देखेर डाह गर्यौं भने, हाम्रो ध्यान आफ्नै प्रगति भन्दा हटेर नकारात्मक सोचतिर जान्छ। यसले हाम्रो विकासलाई झन् ढिला बनाउँछ।

त्यसैले, अरूसँग तुलना नगरी आफ्नै बाटोमा अगाडि बढ्नु आवश्यक छ। धैर्य, मेहनत र सकारात्मक सोचले एक दिन अवश्य राम्रो परिणाम दिन्छ। जीवनमा सबैभन्दा महत्वपूर्ण कुरा आफ्नै गति र आफ्नो लक्ष्यप्रति विश्वास राख्नु हो।
अन्ततः, यो भनाइले हामीलाई सिकाउँछ कि प्रत्येक व्यक्तिको समय फरक हुन्छ। अरू फुलेको देखेर डाह गर्नुको सट्टा, आफूलाई सुधार्दै आफ्नै समयको प्रतीक्षा गर्नु नै बुद्धिमानी हो।
