quote
Don't make Sleshmantak forest a graveyard
KATHMANDU:
Sanatan Dharma Sewa Samiti (SDSS) has expressed its concern over the news reports carried out by some media that "some Christian people have made Sleshamantak forest at Pashupatinath area, which is said to be the center of the devotion of the Hindu people, a graveyard".

Issuing a press statement, the Samiti urged the Christian community not to convert Sleshamantak forest, a holy place listed in the world heritage list that has tourism, religious and cultural importance, into a graveyard. It also urged the government to manage a graveyard for the Christian community.

HAIKU

Haiku poems composed in Sleshmantak ban :

Birds singing
softly in the silence
to evoke my muse.

Yellow leaves falling,
slowly, to give way
to the new ones.

Sleshmantak ban:
a curtain to the eyes
of a stale city!

A mature monkey
jumps down the bush
to shatter the joy.

Haris Adhikari
Kathmandu, February 2012
