Diss. On June 22, 1998, Arun became a witness to an astonishing sight in Asar's Vaka in Mirmire. Probably a settlement was abandoned. A lashkar that sprung forth spontaneously found its final destination in Arun, and Arun absorbed 68 people in his vast bosom so that no one could find him.

This incident was suppressed and hidden. It was not even allowed to be discussed in the political and social circles of that time. The secretive and feudal thinking of the Rana ruler was the main reason behind hiding this incident.

Born in 1924 in a staunch Brahmin family of Bhojpur Majhuwabensi, Yogmaya's conscious efforts and efforts are rarely discussed. During the absolutist era of Rana rule, in which debating the rights and responsibilities of citizens and the state's obligations to citizens was tantamount to giving up the charm of life, the courage shown by Yogamaya is commendable.

Yogamaya, who raised her voice for good governance, co-existence, equality, class and exploitation-free society against corruption, gender inequality, class discrimination, untouchability, oppression, exploitation and oppression and advised the ruler to rule justly according to the will of the citizens, was not a figure that would fit within the scope of the female character envisioned and defined by the society at that time. 

With the bitter experience of child marriage and a husband who could not bear the body and mind, she left the country and went to Assam, India, after being rejected and neglected by both her birth and workplace. There she remarried. After a few years, she left the household life and returned to Maiti village with her daughter, but this time her return was not to return again.

She returned with the courage, patience and intelligence to withstand possible scorn and scorn. She stood like a seven-year-old. Yogamaya's struggle was not only for one caste. It was for all mankind. His struggle was for every person who was sidelined from the mainstream of society, oppressed, discriminated and unjust. Whether they are women or men or belong to any caste or religion. Yogamaya followed only one religion - human religion. 

Yogamaya was an indomitable person who put principles into practice in a hypocritical society. Yogamaya was a leading woman social reformer who logically attacked the social status quo against the simple and sattvic life but the rebellious consciousness of social and political revolution, patriarchal thinking rooted in the society, religious, social, cultural conservatism, exploitation and oppression.

Advising the then rulers to rule with equality, justice and public spirit, Yogamaya emphasized that social oppression, anomalies and distortions should be ended legally and the rule of law should be against arbitrary and tyrannical rule. She brought her demands to the ruler many times. 

Yogamaya's demands were timeless. If you look at it carefully, Yogamaya Vs. The relevance of the 26-point demand submitted to the then Prime Minister in 1993 is still the same. For example, even though the law does not consider it a crime for a widow to marry of her own free will, the society has not stopped seeing it as a stigma.

Our social psychology has not left its old nature despite establishing the right against untouchability and discrimination as a fundamental right. Similarly, the rate of child marriage is also unbelievably high. It seems that the rights that are not included in our constitution and laws are not included in the society. 

Human nature is natural - to collect. That is, accumulating material wealth and running after comforts. But not only Yogamaya's life, even death was devoted to the desire of charity. Acquainted with the transience of material existence, yet undisturbed, Yogamaya willingly faced even the difficult truth of life.

Unceasingly devoted to social welfare, his struggle was modern, civilized and with a scientific approach. In which thousands supported him, hundreds were ready to sacrifice their lives. He and his followers, along with 68 people, taking a water burial was not a cowardly act, nor was it a cowardly act. That was, only unrest, inconsistency against tyranny, desperate desire for change and strong disagreement with the then regime. 

For some time now, stories of Yogamaya have started to be heard in soft tones. Books based on Yogamaya's life have been published. It seems as if the state also tried to appreciate Yogamaya's contribution with the establishment of Yogamaya Himalayan Ayurveda University and the postage stamp with Yogmaya's photo. But these efforts are not enough. It is important to talk about Yogamaya's contribution in every household. The ideals of Yogamaya need to be adopted and proud by individuals, society and the state.
