Since morning, my mind was excited that after working hard for so many years, I was going to get the reward from this journey, at the same time I was also feeling uneasy. I had made preparations to go on such a long journey away from my parents for the first time, but my mind was entangled in thoughts about how the journey would be, what problems there might be, etc. But father explained that preparation and reaching the destination are achieved only by those who have courage. The mind was diving into the world of dreams (the habit of humming while working in which a person gets lost in some other world). Shivam Sir had already completed all the preparations. Everyone walked towards the station, after waiting for 20 minutes the train came and everyone boarded the train. Sir said, take out your sheet and everyone should sleep at their place. I will let you know when I have to get down. Everyone became silent and started making them feel like sleeping under the covers of sheets and pillows.
We had reached Prayagraj, Prayagnagar is also called Sangam. Sir came down saying something. Sir (Karate Master Trainer) and children from different places from every region of India had also come. Sir told that all the teams have arrived. Now we had set foot on the land of Banaras. As soon as the name of Banaras comes, the imagination of Baba Vishwanath, Ganga Ghat and temple makes the mind filled with devotion. In my mind, I bowed at the holy feet of Mother Ganga, the holy land of Banaras. Arjun Singhale (Nepal), Hemant Srivastava (Jhansi), Narendra Upadhyay (Deoria), Govind Pandey (Banaras), Manish Srivastava (Jhansi), Hiralal Pannalal (Jhansi), Sanjay Mangare (Mumbai) etc. sir had arrived. It was great to meet our team of master trainers and testers. We also greeted everyone in the language of Karate. Now let us listen further
to go to the border. The bus was from here. Sir pointed towards a medical store so that whoever is vomiting should take the medicine. Everyone took the medicine as per their requirement. Seeing the banner of the camp, everyone jumped with joy. After reaching some distance, the Army Border Force had boarded the bus and started taking everyone down. Sark indicated that this was part of the checking. Everyone got down. Everyone’s luggage was no longer a secret from everyone’s eyes because this was the first time I had seen this kind of checking. The luggage was being checked very minutely. After checking for more than half an hour, we reached the border again. Everyone changed the money as per their need and then crossed the Nepal border. Nepal: 81.3 percent of the people of Nepal, a very beautiful South Asian nation, are followers of Hindu religion. Nepal is the largest nation among Hindus in the world in terms of percentage. The official language here is Nepali. The influence of Indian, Tibetan and Mongolian cultures can also be seen in Nepal. The culture of Nepal is one of the richest cultures in the world. Daura Shuruwal, also commonly known as Labada Shuruwal, in Nepali attire. The main food here is rice. Pokhara, the most beautiful place in Nepal, is famous for its natural beauty and being the gateway to the Annapurna region. It is also home to many different beautiful lakes. Pokhara is famous for its adventure activities like sailing, trekking, rafting, canoeing and bungee jumping. Our camp is about 100 meters away. Sir said that we have to reach the camp from here. We grabbed our stuff and walked to the camp. The greenery in front was as if nature had covered us with a blanket of beauty to welcome us. As soon as we reached inside the camp, we were given only 15 minutes time. After freshening up, the alarm had already gone off within 1 minute, where some guidelines were to be given. What will happen, how will it happen etc.
They were asked to gather again after 1 hour. The alarm (whistle) had rung for lunch. We were ready for lunch, because the journey was long and beautiful, but we were very tired. Everyone wanted to sleep quickly. The food consisted of rice, vegetables and pulses and roti was available only for name sake because the flour had come from India only. No Everyone made their beds and went to sleep. The arrangement was very good. Separate halls/rooms were provided for boys and girls. There were two small blue belt children nearby, they were not sleeping. While talking to him, I didn’t realize that it was morning. The morning will be so beautiful that it can only be called unimaginably beautiful. Raj was woken up at 2 am. You are being invited to the campground. The vehicle appeared as per instructions with the sound of whistle. Made to stand in line for the exam, exam in sleep. As soon as I remembered the number, it seemed as if sleep had gone away. Some children who were small were not even able to stand properly but Sir’s loud voice alerted everyone.
You can’t even imagine how it would feel to take an exam in your sleep. The test lasted so long that the dawn covered the pale moonlight with new golden rays touching it. The morning water is so cold that you can make kulfi. The cook said that even tap pipes often burst. There is no time for electricity to come and go. After some time everyone was on the field. After some instructions everyone went to their respective rooms. The highest peak of the Himalayas, whose height is approximately 8848 meters i.e. 29029 feet, is completely covered with snow. You are sitting adorned like a bride, covered with the shining Kanak rays of the sun. After having breakfast everyone was in the field.
The examination had started. Our master trainer asked us a barrage of questions without missing or out. This exam is about physical, mental and technical development which teaches you to fight and self-defense in every difficulty.
Firstly, Vindhyavasini temple built on a very high hill was at the gate of Mother Divine Shakti. The amazing temple of Maa gives a feeling of grandeur decorated with huge wooden panels. It is said that King Siddha Narayan Shah of Nepal brought this goddess from Mirzapur to Nepal. Which was established by building a temple in Pokhara. The glory is limitless which communicates a power. The view of Pokhara from here is also a delight.
The medicinal plants in the Botanical Garden and the beautiful beauty of the garden are such that each plant is divine. It was established on October 28, 1962 (Karthik It was done by Raja Mahendra Singh on Dwadashi Samvat 2019. Designed by British architects, it is spread over an area of approximately 82 hectares. Seeing its beauty, the love for nature was growing.Rain said let’s go.
Went towards Pashupatinath temple. Pashupatinath Temple is a wonderful view of pure Nepali art. Four-faced Shiva sits, behind which is the Bagmati river, seeing which it feels as if you have a spiritual rites like the city of Kashi Vishwanath.
This market is full of puja material Rudraksha, Sphatik, Shaligram. Some bought Shaligram, some crystal garlands and some bought the material they needed. The shopkeeper told that there is a gold god inside it. Some were trying to give authenticity by showing the broken Shaligram again and again. Yes, this is the market Babu. Everything is sold here and a laugh broke out.
Both Boudhanath and Swayambhunath stupas, incorporating the Buddhist culture, are the biggest centers of followers of Buddhism. Boudhanath Stupa, built east of Kathmandu, is one of the largest stupas in the world. This is also called the city of Buddha.
Center of Tikri Culture of Museum Heritage. After seeing the Buddhist Stupa, we headed towards Phewa Lake. Everyone was very keen to take a boat trip, but the boatman refused. , spoke ! Ketabo? (Where are you from) India. The wind was very strong and eager to take away everything. can not go. The natural beauty of the lake can be experienced only by sitting in a boat on the shore. It is the largest fresh water lake which a huge crowd comes to see in the evening. The beautiful women were looking very beautiful in Nepali attire. Men's attire is simple.
Barahi temple is situated on an island of this lake. The reflection of the mountain ranges of Mother Annapurna and Dhaulagiri is clearly visible in its transparent waters. I felt like staying for now but due to the strong wind we moved towards the camp.
It was night already. The exam will not be held today but tomorrow, the little children jumped up after hearing the news. The paper was going to start shortly the next day. Actually, this martial art is very old.
It means the art of war. It originated in Kerala during the 3rd century BCE to 2nd century BCE. It is said that its history is about 3000 years old. It is still prevalent in Kerala and parts of Tamil Nadu. Kalari is the place where martial arts and kungfu are taught. Sage Agastya is considered its patron and founder. Some people believe that the Buddhist saint Kalari Master Bodhidharman gave birth to China. China considers the Chinese Wang Zhengzhi as the father of martial arts. He believes that he was the first person who developed this art. It is also said that the Indian Buddhist saint Kalari Master Bodhidharman went to China and gave birth to Kung Fu. There are different types of martial arts such as Kungfu, Karate, Judo, Taekwondo etc. On the basis of technology, it can be learned in two ways: armed and unarmed. Among sports, wrestling, Mushti Yudh, Varma Kalai, Niyudh, Malla Yudh, Kudu Varasai, Lathi, Mallakhambh etc. are also popular names. Nowadays martial arts is also popular in films.
Its learning can be started from the age of 5 to 7 years. It is very important to have physical flexibility to learn this. As soon as the examination was over, Shivam Sir informed that everyone would go to Kathmandu by air travel. After some time the news came that due to heavy snowfall the road was closed and we could not go there. It was decided that the final exam would be held today. If there is time tomorrow, it will be changed, otherwise the certificate/batch/belt distribution work will continue tomorrow. Everyone gathered in the big hall of the camp and was playing their respective difficult innings. Everything, whether victory or defeat, was to be decided today.
Mangala brought the information that the results were to be distributed tomorrow. The purpose with which we had come on the journey, the results were going to be given to about 50 candidates of the camp.
Result is going to be declared in the morning, we have to gather in the hall at 8.30. Who is going to get which belt title? The mind is struggling with this curiosity and the uneasiness increases as soon as the names are taken one by one, lined up one by one. wearing the belt perhaps you can't even imagine what this achievement means. After 5 to 10 years of hard penance, hard work, patience and morale, the photo was being captured in the camera while gaining expertise in the hands. Those moments can also be called unforgettable. A group photo was taken with everyone in their uniforms along with their black belt degree certificates along with the belts provided. With a pleasant feeling, everyone sat in the bus with the heavy rain taking the journey towards India. In the dark of night, just passing through the valleys, clouds, winding, narrow and dangerous roads trailed by the flickering light of fireflies makes us shudder.
After the money exchange at the Indian border, people continued their shopping at the border and changed their Indian currency notes and proceeded towards the destination via Banaras, Prayagraj along with the train journey.
