Rishi Panchami being celebrated by worshipping Sapta Rishi

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

According to Hindu culture and traditions, Rishi Panchami, which falls on the day of Bhadra Shukla Panchami, is celebrated by Nepalese women worshipping Sapta Rishi. There is a special crowd of female devotees in the country’s sacred religious places and Risheshwar Temples today. Rishi Panchami is celebrated as a part of Teej and today Teej is considered to be over with the completion of Rishi Panchami rituals.

According to ancient beliefs, Rishi Panchami is celebrated as a day for women (who have started menstruating) to perform puja to make their bodies clean and pure. Since life is not possible without the creator, the women, there is a custom in the scriptures to respect women and compare the days of women’s menstruation according to the four goddesses. Chandalini on the first day of menstruation, Brahmadhatini on the second day, Dhobini on the third day and bath on the fourth day are the customs of purification.

Today, women brush their teeth using upamarga (Dativan) i.e. a plant with special natural herbal properties. After chewing the pieces of 108 sub-routes (Dativan) , women go to a nearby river or pond and bathe using mud. Upamarga in Sanskrit means disease killer. It is believed that it will not cause various types of diseases in the body; even if it is present, it will be cured. In this way, after bathing in the morning and purifying the body and soul, the women worship the seven sages including Kashyapa, Bhargadoj, Vishwamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni and Vashishta by installing Kalash and Ganesha. Finally, after the Brahmin worships according to the custom, the ritual of Rishi Panchami is considered to be complete.

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

Speaking to the parliament on monday, Canadian Prime minister Justin Trudeau has made it clear that Indian government agents are behind the death of a prominent Sikh-Canadian activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Speaking in Parliament on Monday afternoon, Justin Trudeau said he personally conveyed “deep concerns” to his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, at the Group of 20 summit in New Delhi earlier this month.

“Any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty,” he said. Meanwhile,Ottawa expelled an Indian diplomat in an escalating rift over the killing of a Nijjar.

Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed in the compound of the Guru Nanak Sikh temple on 18 June in British Columbia.He was shot dead in his vehicle by two masked gunmen on a mid-June evening in the busy car park of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, a city about 30km east of Vancouver.

45-year-old Mr Nijjar, a prominent Sikh leader in the western-most province of British Columbia publicly campaigned for Khalistan – the creation of an independent Sikh homeland in the Punjab region of India. His supporters have said that he was a target of threats in the past because of his activism.

India has previously described him as a terrorist who led a militant separatist group – accusations his supporters call “unfounded”.

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

he military governments of three African states, which all deposed their Western-backed leaders in recent years, have agreed to assist each other, individually or collectively, in case of any external aggression or internal threat to their sovereignty.

Mali’s interim president, Assimi Goita, said on Saturday night that he signed the so-called Liptako-Gourma Charter with the leaders of Burkina Faso and Niger “with the aim of establishing a collective defense and mutual assistance framework.”

“Any attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of one or more contracted parties will be considered an aggression against the other parties.

he charter establishes an Alliance of Sahel States, which comprises three countries which had previously been members of the Paris-supported G5 Sahel pact with Chad and Mauritania, that has fallen apart following a series of military coups.

The Defence Minister of Mali, Abdoulaye Diop, explained that this new “alliance will be a combination of military and economic efforts between the three countries” with a priority on the fight against terrorism, particularly in the Liptako-Gourma region where the borders of the three neighbours meet.

Mali and Burkina Faso previously stated that any attack on Niger would be a “declaration of war” against them as well, after several of Niger’s neighbors from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) threatened to send troops to restore deposed President Mohamed Bazoum.

Paris was forced to withdraw troops from Mali following tensions with the military government in 2020. Earlier this year, it also pulled out of Burkina Faso after the country’s military rulers ordered them to leave.RT

Ukrainians blame Zelensky for corruption

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

A new study has revealed that the vast majority of Ukrainians believe that President Vladimir Zelensky is at fault for widespread corruption in the country’s government and military,

The poll, released on Monday, found that 78% of Ukrainian adults see Zelensky as “directly responsible” for Kiev’s corruption problem. It was conducted by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Charitable Foundation and the Kiev International Institute of Sociology.

Prior to the launch of Russia’s military offensive in February 2022, Ukraine consistently ranked among the world’s most corrupt nations, but it was touted as a bastion of freedom and democracy as the US and its NATO allies rallied public support for massive aid to Kiev. However, Ukrainian corruption remains a concern and could hinder the country’s bid to join the European Union, an unidentified Western diplomat told Politico on Monday.

Ukraine is a “very corrupt country,” the diplomat said, adding that Zelensky’s plan to use the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to prosecute graft cases could “send the wrong message.” Upon landing in Kiev for a surprise visit on Monday, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock reportedly said Ukraine needed to step up its efforts to fight corruption.

The Ukrainian poll was conducted from July 3 to July 17 in face-to-face interviews with thousands of citizens across the country. There were no major differences in findings based on region or socioeconomic factors. Respondents aged 60 and older took a harsher view, with 81% saying Zelensky was responsible for government corruption. The rate was 70% in the youngest segment, ages 17 to 29. Overall, only 18% of Ukrainian adults disagreed with the statement that Zelensky bears responsibility.

Documents obtained by the International Association of Investigative Journalists in 2021 showed that Zelensky and his business partners set up offshore companies to purchase lavish properties in central London. Zelensky transferred his stake in one of the companies to an aide just before he was elected president in 2019. Supporters of former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko accused Zelensky and his associates of using their offshore accounts to evade taxes.RT
