(Continued From Previou� Issue)· J,ccording to tho v�mshavalis, Ratna Malla inw1ded Nuwakot and defeated its Thakuri King. He brought thP. fruits grown in Nuwakot and offered th,:i · same· to th"' temple of P�s_hupotinath. Ratna Malla had invaded Nuwakot afti�r c�tablishing his supremacy ·in Kathmandu. According to the Vamshavalis, fu1tnc1 Malla had built the huge temple of' Tul�ja in Kathmandu in 621 Nepal er3 (1501 A .D. }. Goddoss. Tulaja and a knowledge of her esoteric rites "r.::i regr-,rded as symbols of State. power. in Nepal. The Vmnshavalis toll us ttiA't ;2,vcry King pas.:;cd on tha·se rites of Godciess to his eldest son, thcit is, his heir, befoI"o breathing his last. Ratna Malla is said to have been instructed in theso rites by Yaksha Malla at the time of the latter's death. The priests and courtiers are said to have played a deceitful role in this r�gard. Thd Vamshavali� state that Ratna Malla carried the , sHord and shield of Goddess. Tulaj a to Patan after the death ot his fE!th•.:r. This explains why Hatnc1 Malla constructed the templ0 of TulajA in Kathn1nndu in 1501 A.D. This also [.)roves that he ruid becone the independent King of' Kathmandu by that time. Hnving s�abilizod his rule in Kathmandu, Ratnii Malla brought into circulation coppur ccins b-::aring the effigy of a lion. 'lliese coins circu­ letl.:d 311 over Nepal. Th2ro wr:s no shortage cf copper needed f0r minting cc,ins, becauso copper deposits were located in Chi tlang neart>y. The. embh:m of lion chosen by Ratnn Malla ap9ears to be. the traditional one adopted by Nepal. Reference has alrear:!y been made to thP, fact that. Shivadeva or p S.1dashiw1dev.<.1, who rulAd N':! al 300 years b<::fore Ratna· Malla· , had minte(l Suki bearing the effiey of a lion. • X . ..

  • Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
    Om Sri Sai Ram BHAGAVAT GITA VAHINI By Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Greetings Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the Sanathana Sarathi, the timeless charioteer, who communicated the Geetha Sastra to Adithya and helped Manu and king Ikshwaku to know it; He was the charioteer of Arjuna during the great battle between good and evil fought out at Kurukshetra. When the rider, Arjuna, was overcome with grief at the prospect of the fight, Krishna instructed him in the science of recognising one's oneness with all, and removed the grief and the fear. He is the charioteer even now, for every one of us; let me greet you as a fellow-sufferer and a fellow-disciple. We have but to recognise Him and accept Him in that role, holding the reins of discrimination and flourishing the whip of detachment, to direct the horses of the senses along the path of Sathya, asphalted by Dharma and illumined by Prema towards the goal of Shanthi. Arjuna accepted Him in that role; let us do likewise. When worldly attachment hinders the path of duty, when ambition blinds the eyes of sympathy, when hate shuts out the call of love, let us listen to the Geetha. He teaches us from the chariot whereon He is installed. Then He showers His grace, His vision and His power, and we are made heroes fit to fight and win. This precious book is not a commentary or summary of the Geetha that was taught on the field of Kurukshetra. We need not learn any new language or read any old text to imbibe the lesson that the Lord is eager to teach us now, for victory in the battle we are now waging.

    BBarbaraarbara Gmińska-NowakGmińska-Nowak Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń Polish Institute of World Art Studies NEWAR ARCHITECTURE The typology of the Malla period monuments of the Kathmandu Valley INTRODUCTION: NEPAL AND THE KATHMANDU VALLEY epal is a country with an old culture steeped in deeply ingrained tradi- tion. Political, trade and dynastic relations with both neighbours – NIndia and Tibet, have been intense for hundreds of years. The most important of the smaller states existing in the current territorial borders of Nepal is that of the Kathmandu Valley. This valley has been one of the most important points on the main trade route between India and Tibet. Until the late 18t century, the wealth of the Kathmandu Valley reflected in the golden roofs of numerous temples and the monastic structures adorned by artistic bronze and stone sculptures, woodcarving and paintings was mainly gained from commerce. Being the point of intersection of significant trans-Himalaya trade routes, the Kathmandu Valley was a centre for cultural exchange and a place often frequented by Hindu and Buddhist teachers, scientists, poets, architects and sculptors.1) The Kathmandu Valley with its main cities of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhak- tapur is situated in the northeast of Nepal at an average height of 1350 metres above sea level. Today it is still the administrative, cultural and historical centre of Nepal. South of the valley lies a mountain range of moderate height whereas the lofty peaks of the Himalayas are visible in the North. 1) Dębicki (1981: 11 – 14). 10 Barbara Gmińska-Nowak The main group of inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley are the Newars, an ancient and high organised ethnic group very conscious of its identity.

  • The Collection of Nepal Coins and Medals Property Of
    THE COLLECTION OF NEPAL COINS AND MEDALS PROPERTY OF THE LATE NICHOLAS RHODES THE COLLECTION OF NEPALI COINS AND MEDALS PROPERTY OF THE LATE NICHOLAS RHODES THE COLLECTION OF NEPALI COINS AND MEDALS PROPERTY OF THE LATE NICHOLAS RHODES Nicholas Rhodes (1946-2011) has been described as a “numismatic giant … a scholar and collector of immense importance” (JONS No.208). His specialist numismatic interests embraced the currency of the whole Himalayan region - from Kashmir and Ladakh in the west, through Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, to Assam and the Hindu states of north-east India. He was elected Honorary Fellow of the Royal Numismatic Society in 2002 and served as Secretary General of the Oriental Numismatic Society from 1997. Having started collecting coins from an early age, his lifelong passion for oriental coins started in 1962 with the coins of Nepal, which at the time presented the opportunity to build a meaningful collection and provided a fertile field for original research. ‘The Coinage of Nepal’, written in collaboration with close friends Carlo Valdettaro and Dr. Karl Gabrisch and published by the Royal Numismatic Society in 1989 (henceforth referred to in this brochure as ‘RGV’), is the standard reference work for this eye-catching series and “may be considered as Nicholas Rhodes’ magnum opus” (JONS No.208). The Nicholas Rhodes collection is considered to be the finest collection of Nepal coins currently in existence. Totalling approximately 3500 pieces, the collection is well documented and comprehensive; indeed, Nicholas was renowned for his painstaking ability to track down every known variety of a series. On the one hand it includes some magnificent highlights of the greatest rarity.
