Discussion with Gaky's Light student on Dashai

Gaky’s Light is a program of Alternatives funded by Eva Nepal, which provides scholarship to the students seeking for higher education. Along with scholarship, the program will provide guidance, counseling, vocational training, journalism and research, Career Development program, Mentorship program, technology and computer and entrepreneurship development. The main goal of the program is to empower youth and to develop professionalism in them.

Every Saturday we have meeting with students who are benefited from scholarship. They are trained about entrepreneurship development, mentor ship, journalism, career development, technology/computer and language development.

Today date 2011/10/15 we have discussion program on dashai. Every body enjoy that last dashai. They have putted tika on their forehead, they enjoyed with their family members, they played swing, wore new cloths, shopping, playing cards etc.

Durga one of the student told that she didn't put tika because somebody in her family has delivered. Some of them did't get to play swing.

They all add that Dashai is the festival of Nepal not of Hindu. If it is of Hindu why Indian people didn't celebrate it? So every culture, caste, religions, ethnic groups, etc celebrate it as a national festival of Nepal.

They also add that why we celebrate Dashai? In this point, the view is that family member gone to different part of country and outside country for employment. They have faced many problem and adapted bad culture there. In this festival everybody got back to their home so the elder give bless to their children for every good work. This festival will create the positive vibration in people to do best work.

In conclusion dashai is the national festival. It is the festival to get blessing from elder to younger for the betterment and positive vibrations.
