Since ancient times, Nepal has been considered the sadhana land of sages. It is also known as a place of pilgrimage like Muktinath, Pashupatinath, the birthplace of Asia's Jyoti Gautama Buddha, the birthplace of Saint King Janak and his daughter Janaki. Temples of famous goddesses and religious sacred places such as Shaktipeeth, sacred rivers and sacred places scattered from east to west are always providing spiritual energy to Nepal.
Vedic sages as well as many advanced seekers and ascetics such as Patanjali have a history of doing penance, meditation and sadhana in the beautiful and charming Himalayan region of Nepal. Such world-famous religious and spiritual places have made Nepal known to the world as an important catalyst for meditation, penance and spiritual progress even in the present time.
A holy land like Nepal has always been the center of knowledge and practice of Sanatan Dharma. We also need to protect the heritage here and live according to its meaning. According to this spirit and spirit, the spiritual seekers of Nepal and the world have been doing spiritual satsang, knowledge, meditation and yoga from time to time in Nepal, the hotbed of knowledge and sadhana. Recently, Swami Chidanand Giri, President of Yogada Satsang Society of India and Self Realization Fellowship (YSS/SRF USA) and spiritual seeker visited Nepal and highlighted the importance of meditation and kriyayoga on the spiritual side of human life.
Yogada Satsang Society of India, founded by spiritual guru Paramahansa Yogananda in 1917 in Ranchi, Jharkhand, India, and Self-Realization Fellowship, founded in 1920 in Los Angeles, California, USA, have been giving practical education about knowledge, meditation and kriya yoga to spiritual seekers around the world.
Imbibing the teachings of harmony, coordination and unity among all religions while imparting the knowledge of ancient kriyayoga science is also a need today. Paramahansa Yogananda's famous book Autobiography of a Yogi (Autobiography of a Yogi) has inspired millions of people around the world to meditation and spiritual path. The book is considered one of the 100 best-selling books of the 20th century.
Sanatan Dharma and Eastern philosophy consider spiritual awakening, self-realization and salvation as the ultimate goal of life. Western society, which often prefers materialism, individual freedom and scientific thinking, is also today attracted to Eastern thought. In Eastern Sadhana, the Swami tradition provides spiritual guidance, imparting the pure knowledge of the guru-disciple relationship. Even though the master-disciple relationship is libertarian in Western thought, they too are realizing the value of the mentor's guidance. Western society wants to be free from stress, unrest and materialism, which is why they are drawn to yoga and meditation.
During his visit to Nepal, Swami Chidananda Giri expressed his respect for the spirituality, culture and nature here and described Nepal as a role of pure devotion and sadhana. He also said that Nepal is the center of spiritual energy. Swami Chidananda's visit not only brought awakening to the spiritual seekers of Nepal, but also made them realize that spiritual study and Sadhana should advance soul realization together.
Such opportunities and visits can also help Nepal become a center for meditation tourism, yoga training and peace studies. A land like Nepal, full of natural scenic views and filled with spiritual consciousness, can show the world the path of peace, meditation, yoga, spiritual energy and salvation.
Now the importance of Eastern philosophy in bringing about spiritual awakening is increasing. If Nepal is to strengthen its identity as a land of knowledge, a land of yoga, and a land of peace, it is necessary to develop places like Pashupatinath and Lumbini as centers of world peace and meditation. If this is done, seekers from all over the world will be attracted to Nepal. This will also help Nepal's religious tourism.
