नेपालको विशिष्ट मौलिक इतिहासको जगमा उभिएको नेपाल सम्बतलाइ राष्ट्रीय सम्बतको मान्यता दिनु पर्ने आव्हान गर्दै अभियान सञ्चालन गरेको पुग नपुग २७ बर्ष भए छ । शुरुवातमा नेपाल सम्बतको नाउँ लिने बित्तिकै सार्वजनिक अपराध गरेको आरोपमा जेलमा पुग्ने स्थिति पनि बन्यो । बदख्वाइँ गर्न चाहने जत्थाले नेपाल सम्बतलाइ साम्प्रदायिक सम्बत, कुनै एक जातिको मात्र सम्बत, किंवदन्तिमा आधारीत सम्बत जस्ता अनेक फत्तुर आरोप लगाए । तर त्यसता छुद्र आरोपहरुले नेपालसम्बतको गरीमा घटेन र यो अभियान पनि सेलाएन । समयक्रममा नेपाल सम्बतका प्रणेता शंखधर साख्वा:लाइ राष्ट्रीय विभुतिको मान्यता दिएर सरकारले नेपालसम्बत प्रति सम्मान जनायो । हालै  मन्त्रिपरिषदको बैठकबाट नेपाल सरकारले नेपाल सम्वतलाई राष्ट्रिय सम्वतको मान्यता दिएको छ। यसलाइ ब्यबहारमा लागू गर्न एउटा उच्चस्तरीय कार्यदल पनि गठन गरेको छ । यो निर्णय संभवत माओबादी नेतृत्त्वमा गठीत संयुक्त सरकारको अत्यन्त सकारात्मक र जनभावना मुखरीत गर्ने निर्णय हो । बिगत लामो समय देखि नेपाल सम्बतको पक्षमा आफुलाइ उभ्याउँदै आएको हुँदा म यो निर्णयको स्वागत गर्छु ।

 

नेपाल सम्बत हाइ हाइ ..........

 

र, नेपाल सम्बतको पक्षमा आफुलाइ उभ्याउने तथा यो अभियानमा साथ दिने सबैलाइ बधाइ तथा शुभकामना पनि दिन चाहन्छु ।

Anyway, this is really imformative discussion here. Keep it up guys.....

नेपालमा बिक्रम सम्बतलाइ लंगडो बनाउने निर्णय सरकारले गरेको छ रे भनेर एकथरी मानिसहरु बिक्रम सम्बतलाइ ११ महिनाको साल बनाउदै चैत महिना खर्लप्पै गायब गर्ने निर्णयको बिरोध गर्दैछन । अर्काथरी मानिसहरु बिक्रमसम्बतलाइ त्यसो गर्न जरूरी भैसकेको बताउदै छन । आफु नि  चैतमा जन्मेको हुनाले आफ्नो जन्मदिन नै गायब बनाउने यो निर्णय बारे के कसो होला खुलदुलि पारेर बस्या छु । चैतलाइ नि किन गायब गर्ने ? बैशाख देखि फागुन सम्मको जुनसुकै आर्को महिना गायब बनाए भै हाल्थो नि जस्तो नि लाउँछ । चैत महिनासित जोडिएको यो भावना मेरो निजी स्वार्थसित गाँस्सिया भावना जस्तो हो भन्नै पर्ला । तर यो कुरा बाहिर आएपछि बिक्रम सम्बतको वकालत गरेर नेपालको आफ्नै श्रृजना र गौरव नेपाल सम्बतलाई विनाकारण छि: छि: दुर दुर गर्ने जमातको ओँठतालु चै सुकेको मानेको छु है मैले ।

Dear All:

Namaste.

I think we are putting together many unrelated issues.

Nepal Sambat is Lunar calendar designed for cultural/Dharmic events like Dasain, Tihar, Buddha Jayanti etc.

Bikram Sambat is Solar calendar designed for seasonal events like planting, travel etc.

They are not competing and we need both. We all Nepalese should be proud of both Sambats and use them. Worst thing we can do it make it a communal issue. Also let us also note that Bikram Sambat is more antique than Grgorian calendar gloifying our past. It will be really funny if we criticise Bikram Sambat as foreign (across the border) and adopt Gregorian calendar. On the other hand the Nepal Sambat initiated by Shakhwal of Kathmandu is not about some great King but about an ordinary Nepali making a huge contribution to the nation. Even though the myth may be only half truth, yet let us recognize the power of its symbolism.

However, the new adopted Gregorian calendar is Solar and competes with Bikram Sambat. Thus we need to conserve Bikram Sambat along with the use of Gregorian to come in par with International system.

The Solar calendar needs adjusting time to time. For example, Gregorian caledar uses leap year etc. to do that. Bikram Sambat also uses such corrections but is not well done. Therefore the issue of dropping one whole month to make a proper adjustment has been raised. However, it can be done better. First, there must be a good home work for such adjustment. Second, it need to be advertised at least one year before applying. Third, it is not necessary to drop a whole month. It can be done by merely lessening the days in each of the 12 months. For example, if each of the 12 months have only 28 days then we will loose almost one month, without dropping Chaita month and going berserk.

Thanks.

Fu#k the Nepal Sambat and Bikram Sambat, let’s start Isawi Sambaat 2009 AD. At least we don’t have to convert the date.

I Don’t know what’s wrong with you guys, a country where there is no water to drink, no electricity, no proper health care, no roads, no hygienic food, no…………… I can go on. Why do u fu@ers bring this stupid issues?????

All over the word, rulers come with their own lunatic ideas, for those lunatic ideas we have the most wonderful things. That was a mistake?? Or an Excessive use of power? Both.

That happened to Nepal too and implemented B.S. calendar. Power is exercised; it became part of our life after a long use. I agree on some commentator that if Nepal sambat is scientifically better than B.S. we must undo it; otherwise we need to move on. As most of us have a question is this the major issue for Nepal at this moment in the "to do list”, then we must solve it? Or just to distract Nepali from major issues?????  Or just to divide and RULE theory of Maoist.

As the unification ended the ruler wanted a language to be communicated and chose the one the ruler spoke and named it Nepali. I think it has similar issue as introducing myself as Hindu, there was no Hindu religion.  So what should I say in my religious belief????
