Nepal’s ex-King favors revival of Hindu State, hold talks with senior NC leader

TGW

Nepal’s deposed King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah has thrown his entire weight behind re declaration of Nepal as a Hindu State.

Gyanendra Shah who is thought to have been the main man behind the ongoing nine day long Sahasra Rudrachandi Akhanda Maha Yagnya at Pashupati Bankali area landed at the Yagna venue March 8, 2010.

Kali Baba has already threatened that he will self immolate unto death if Nepal is not declared a Hindu state soon.

The Yagna that began March 1, 2010, is being organized by Kali Das Baba with the objective of restoration of Hindu as state religion.

When Gyanendra Shah accompanied by his wife Komal Shah landed at the venue around 11:32 AM, hundreds of his followers carrying national flags and flowers were already seen ready to greet the former royal couple. 

However, the presence of Mr. Khum Bahadur Khadka- a senior Nepali Congress leader at the venue made the environment even more interesting.

Khadka welcoming the royal couple, say eyewitness, offered garlands to the former King and Queen.

Mr. Khadka is the self declared candidate for the election to the post of the Nepali Congress President that is going to take place in the near future.

Whether his fresh linkages with the former king will help him win the NC battle could not yet be predicted. However his hearty welcome to the royal couple is no less intriguing.  

After making a parikrma of Yagna site, King Gyanendra talked to Kali baba for over 15 minutes and reportedly assured the Hindu saint that he was totally in favor of restoration of Hindu as state religion for Nepal.

Later, Khum Babahdur Khadka too joined the discussion between Gyanendra and Kalibaba. What transpired between the three is not known. Keep on guessing!

The royal couple prior to their departure made another parikrama of the sacred site. However before he left, talking briefly to the press men said Gyanendra, “We want peace in the country and I will be very happy if peace prevailed in the countryHindu Rastra Jai Hos.

The ex-King is reported to have donated some one Lakh rupees to the organizers of the sacred Yagna.

Things have begun taking sudden twists.

After all,there is no other alternate to bring Nepal,A most beautiful Himalayan nation,in its back to normalcy other than accomodation of institution of monarchy and Hindu state.Comuntry is going towards distruction,disintegration and full-fledged anrachy,time is running out that's why its the duty of all including so called leaders to implement the policy of late B.P.Koirala to save nation.Broader national unity among all internal political forces including institution of monarchy and greater reconcilitaion,is the only saviour so far been seen to stop nation from vanishing its separate identity.Power to peoples representatives and dignity and honor to monarch is the only fruitful and sustainable policy for democratic and prosperous Nepal.Jay Nepal !

Hindu kingdom is not the solution for disasters in Nepal. The only way out is to work for progress not only talks and produce cheaters in many forms.We need to save poor Hindus from being diverted in political crimes rather than to blame Christian Missionaries

The best way to reconcile the differences and find lasting peace in the country, the nation should reinstate the institution of monarchy, declare Nepal a Hindu nation and a democratic multi party parliamentary system. Those patriots and democrats including BP Koirala's followers should unite and work to re-declare Nepal as a Hindu nation with full freedom and protection to other religions and faiths. Present Nepal is facing a big problem with rampant proselytizing.Hindus- Buddhists are mainly victimized by christian missions.

We are with you Mr. King and always will be.We will always welcome your wise decision that will help our country to turn back into peace zone and could protect our national territory.

We are with you His Majesty. Please also take the Maoists into confidence. Surely some Maoist brains will understand that Hinduism can co-exist with communism. His Majesty save us from capitalism. We all patriotic citizens of Nepal will support you. However, please try to make a peaceful comeback. We have to mobilise door to door campaigns in village as to how secularism has threatened our identity. Alert and educated poor hindus against Christian missionaries. And get the support of all hindus in Nepal to unite for a common cause. We can achieve hindu kigndom easily.
