What you should know

The advice has been scattered all over the place. Consultants say - 30 seconds ticktock or 1 minute reel, that's it! No one watches more than that. At the same time, one remembers the mustard seeds that were planted by the hooves of Tiktok. Will the ticket come first or the farmer? After how much time passes in one field, it becomes Pahelpur Toribari? Can the barren be broken in thirty seconds?

 

Mustard is sown in a minute ? After Godmel and care, sunshine watch and frost irrigation, how many hours invested by the farmer and nature, the mustard garden hums ? 

In the age when black stone laughs in Machhapuchhre mountain and mosquitoes go on Kailash journey, it is completely natural for the earth to wither and the reel to wave. This is a country where the history of the farmer's harvest was made by leaning on the farmer's shoulder. Even in such an adverse flow of history, the 'National Agricultural Census 2078' has extracted the data that 62 percent of the country's families are farmers. It should be considered a pleasant surprise that the population of agricultural families is one crore 94 lakh 47 thousand 955 (it may have increased by now) even after decades of the undeclared 'National Agricultural Eradication Program' behind the declared slogan of an agricultural country. This fact proves that the roots of Raithane knowledge, philosophy of life and agriculture have not been eradicated.

Ek Tyandro Paral

Leaving between teaching and poetry fair, one day the poet Madhav Dhungel came to the farm stage . At that time, the news was accepted as an accident by relatives and friends. This accident of perception is caused by thought . The idea of ​​modernity was established by considering agriculture as a symptom of a backward and underdeveloped society. Therefore, it became a common understanding that the first condition for moving towards modernity is to escape from agriculture. After graduating from university and years of knowledge-Singauri, you have escaped from the family agricultural tradition, now you will go back and dig the soil? It is a shame to call children 'farmer' in school.

If there is any power to awaken the seed mantra in the society, it is in those hard-working farmers, who are constantly singing the song of the fields while fighting the historical erosion. Kavi Dhungel sweated through this stage. "How much poetry do you write today?" he answered without falling to the ground, "Poetry in fruits, poetry in flowers". Poem in the mouth, poetry in the waves . Nature keeps writing poems, I keep taking notes.' He is a rebel who is on the tune of creating a revolution from a straw. Even in the university of Matmancha, there is an abundance of knowledge, because the agriculture of the future is not only agriculture, but also a struggle of ideas . In order to establish the power and dignity of agriculture, it is necessary to come up with truth on the front of ideas. Therefore, whether it is the natural farming system theorized by Japanese farmer and philosopher Masanobu Fukuoka's book 'The One Straw Revolution' or the 'Jadam Farming System' developed by South Korea's Yongsang Cho, one revolutionary agricultural idea has emerged on the stage in every corner of the world to compete with the ruling knowledge of the so-called modern farming system containing chemicals and pesticides.

 

 

There is life in the soil and there is life in the straw. It is in nature that people return to seek treatment when they are sick while enjoying photographs. The thread of human life is connected with nature and the main stream of that thread is agriculture. The same agriculture is under crisis in Nepal. This is not because young people are migrating abroad in large numbers. Not only because there is a middleman in the market management of agricultural produce . Or not because the alleged modernization of agriculture has not been done. This is just a propaganda idea created by all the so-called modern contractors to bury the hook of profit on agriculture .

The hidden thing is that the very idea of ​​the state is to eradicate agriculture . There is a foggy thought called development, which has reduced politics to a manager who runs the games of foreign lenders and contractors. Therefore, the government of any party does not understand the importance of agriculture in which 62 percent of families are still involved. But despite the widespread debate that it is unnecessary, he goes to join hands with foreigners to build the so-called international airports (Pokhara/Bhairawa) by taking foreign loans. However, he does not feel insulted and dreams of another big Nijgadh airport again. The power of the people is not measured in the power of knowledge and production, but in the number of votes. Kashi walking politics, Kuti walking people .

A tree within a seed

Some of us people went to the last general election to try to shift politics towards people-oriented ideas. One of us was - 'Farming for Food' campaigner and agriculturist Krishna Prasad Paudel . Paudel's attempt to make it a political issue was because the task of extensive changes in the agricultural system cannot be completed only through social campaigns. The agriculture destroyed by the state cannot be made greener without the power of the state. The ideological power of the state lies in politics, so the intervention should come from politics.

Narayan Wagh, who has made a name for himself in journalism and literature, also returned to Tanahun to cultivate the same barren ancestral farm. Farming was not just farming for him, it became an ideological political fair. Just as Fukuoka remained active throughout his life as a philosopher and agricultural activist, and Yongsang Cho is still active. The role of agricultural activists becomes important when the common farmer is inspired by the idea that if he can escape from farming, he will escape from farming if he can't. Therefore, Wagley can be said to be an activist of the biodynamic agriculture campaign advocated by the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner .

For a few years, Jodaha political economist Hari Roka is also trying to bring back the charm of farming in the ancestral land of Khotang. Famous characters from politics and many other fields have entered into farming to find a living . Whether it is Meena Gurung of Kaski, Hemja or Rashmi Pandit active in Chitwan's Madi, Sudarshan Chaudhary of Saptari or Rajkumar Shrestha active in Dolakha, those who ignite the movement through agricultural ideas are active all over the country . At a time when modernization and industrialization have established corporate monopoly and control not only over water, land, forests and crops, but also over seed and crop patents, the life of agriculture has been undermined. Such a terrible challenge cannot be met by the unrelenting efforts of agricultural activists . Therefore, how to take the nature-based philosophy and practices of agriculture to 62 percent of the country's farming families, the next agricultural movement should decide that strategy.

means the seeds of the movement to upgrade and promote agriculture have been prepared. It is said that a huge tree is hidden in a small seed. The next activism should be focused on making nature-friendly and life-giving agriculture a vibrant agenda of politics. Raithane and budding agricultural philosophies can also provide a new foundation to advance the thoughtless politics by shining the lightning of ideas.

Bijamantra

Agriculture is not just a linear story of simple farming . Branches and branches of agriculture, its fruits and flowers, herbs that grow from head to foot! And there is a larger life cycle of many enterprises that flourish around it . Not only that, along with the ecological cycle of agriculture, Raithane's philosophy of life, songs, identity and symbiosis are also envisioned. There the eternal law of change is felt daily. Therefore, politics emerging from the umbilical cord of agriculture has the power to continuously change and awaken the natural activism of society.

Renowned Indian philosopher, agricultural activist and para-feminist thinker Vandana Shiva has much to learn from Raithane's uncompromising struggle for agriculture, biodiversity and farmers' rights in India and around the world. How did the spark of ideas that he got from his mother's cowshed in Dehradun develop the ability to take on the American corporate power ? What is the source of that power? That is the source of power – farmers of Dehradun and India. As long as nature fills the veins of man, not AI, till then the power of the farmer remains unlimited . The question is that in the present context, what can be the seed mantra to awaken the identity of farmers and agricultural land? What can be the way to awaken such seed?

If one-third of the fertile agricultural land has been left barren, it should be understood that one-third of the land has been destroyed in the democracy and one-third of the national independence has been destroyed. In the words of Vandana Shiva, currency in nature's economy is not money, but life. Life is there, where there is the seed that gives birth and grows. The seed mantra to make politics full of ideas and culture life-friendly, to make the society democratic and the state people-oriented is also somewhere there . If there is any power to awaken the seed mantra in the society, it is in those hardworking farmers, who are constantly singing the song of the fields while fighting against historical erosion.

Finally,

in the classical sense is a special sound instrument with spiritual power. The Bijamantra referred to in this article is the essence of thought, which has the ability to invoke the sublime . Suffering from an ideological crisis, suffering from an environmental crisis, the global economy is in disarray, and the world's powerful are in a frenzy to curb people's rights. Our own society is falling apart. The graph of violent crime is rising . The average family is suffocating from within in the economic downturn . Our politics and state seem to be ignorant and careless about all the crises.

A crisis happens every day, some historical . Will any donor rescue our state and society, which is mired in daily problems? Those who are poor in the donor are themselves surrounded by crisis at home, so they continue to occupy the great resources of the world, but they are in the process of keeping the face of the donor . In reality, the knowledge and ability to face the historical crisis is not dry without developing itself . The first condition for that is to assess the crisis and engage in objective discussion on it. Only by this method can the Bijamantra of the solution be rendered .

Why is the issue of agricultural thought decisive here, if the majority of the people of Nepal are still rooted in agriculture. Secondly, most of the organic businesses here are derived from agriculture. Thirdly, the escalating environmental crisis is sure to drive the global economy back to its roots of nature . Fourthly, healthy food and natural living are going to be ambitions in the near future . Fifthly, any country that cannot be self-sufficient in natural food production will fall into an all-round crisis (primarily health and food crisis) and lose its independence. Therefore, the seed mantra to protect the future of Nepal is inherent within the agriculture which has been taught to be found by the knowledge of modernity.

Any political movement, be it a campaign to enrich democracy or fight against inequality/disparity/injustice, must ultimately be linked to agricultural ideas . The state and politics have been transformed into a sukulgundo while doing this fashion-show of development, looking at the road, looking at the facilities of luxury cars, the airport looking at the billions of loans, and the tower looking at the state-of-the-art technology or the face of business. This crisis can be bridged only with the power of the people in the call of the seed mantra to co-awaken the agricultural life.
