Celebration of Mahashivatri


People of Dantak celebrated the mahashivatri  pooja in Dantak mandir near college,kanglung on 27th of February.
Shivatri is celebrated in 11th month of hindu calendar in 14th day. It is one of the most celebrated festivals in hindu. It it usually celebrated at night because shivji has taken humans beings from darkness,he has given light to haman beings. Shivji is also known as Ruthra. It is belived that,after the celebration of mahashivratri,the green grass grows or everything turns into green…means dry season is over when sahivatri is celebrated. “I am really happy and proud to celebrate the maha shivratri,I even stayed fasting for  the whole day” said one of the person in Dantak.

Shivji stays at the top of the mountain (kailash) and at the top of all the gods,this is because he has super natural power and that is why shivji is also known as Mahadev. People basically offer white items because he loves white things. People aslo offer milk because he is made of Jal(water). Shivaji is also known as Bola Baba because he cares and loves others. Shivji is a creator and as well as destroyer that is  why he apply ashes  in his body. He apply ashes in his boby because we all are going to be ash after our death.

 Some of the lhotshampa students from sherubtse took Part in the pooja. Menuka, an environmental science student said, “ as I am really interested in the believes and customes of hindu, I was lucky to be one of the participants on shivaratri”.  “I feel relieved and get inspired by the culture followed by the people of dantak”, said Mr. Mon Bdr. Rai (6th semester).
Trisul in his hand symbolise the destruction of suffering. Ganesh is seen with rat,Parbati with lion,Katikaa with peacock and Shiva himself with ox,this symbolise that Shivaji can make everyone friendlier and,  can turn enemy into friends. He is said to be born from nowhere,he has no parents nor relatives.
Hindus believes that if they worship Shiva and celebrate Shivaratri then they can amend themselves and lead their life comfortably and happiness comes to them.

Students during examinations

I woke up early, freshen, prepared breakfast and left for school as usual. It is summer and quite hot at Paro. Students are having midterm exams. After assembly an exam starts. I went to one of the classrooms where class eleven arts and class twelve commerce students were sitting for an examination. The moment I entered the classroom, students remained silent with their head low. It seems they were recalling what they have memorized and trying to write on the table so that they won’t forget later. After five minutes, I distributed the question papers followed by answer sheets. I announced them that first fifteen minutes is to be spending for reading the question papers. Exactly at 9:00AM, writing exams start. Some students were still reading an essay while others started writing. Everyone seems excited as if they knew everything or else the questions contain whatever they have read. After an hour, some students asked for additional answer sheets whereas some students were los...

Stories from small kids

We were sitting down for the studies. I was by the door side, asking little ones to study. Tenzin, a class two student raised her hand wanting to share her story with us. I asked, ‘Tenzin, what happened?'. She stood up and said, ‘madam, can I share my story with you all’. We all gave her the permission to share her stories that has stored for almost 10 months. I could sense the happiness in her smile. She was too young to fall in love. She started sharing her love story. She said that he was from the same class and smart in study as well. ‘Madam, I liked and love him so much. He is our class captain. He is smart and intelligent. Sometimes, he asks me money and pencil. I don’t like when he talks with other girls but I love fighting with him because I could spend some time with him’. We listened to her story. I was totally confused. I didn’t k know what to say at this time. I could see her clenched fist.  Other students started laughing adding some points to Tenzin’s story....
