Svosthana Reading Starts Off In Nepal Today
By KTM Metro Reporter
January 26, 2013: today Nepalis have started off a month-long Svosthana story-telling period. Goddess Svosthana is the Hindu trinity: Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshower.
In Sakhu: about 25 Km northeast of Kathmandu, thousands of devotees took a holy dip in the waters of the Salinadhi River. More than one hundred people took a special dip in the holy water of the Salinadhi River for a month-long one-meal a day religious activities. Wearing saffron dress, they sit together and live together and eat together for a month revering the Madhav Narayan.
Starting today, most of the Nepalese households tell the story of Svosthana for a month. Every evening, one of the household members tells the portion of the Svosthana story until the next full month day.
The Svosthana is the story about the formation of earth, then the creation of lives including the human lives on earth, then about Lord Shiva and his family life. Nepalis tell the Svosthana story every year in this month.
