In essence they serve as modern totems that bear a special relationship to the nations they represent, distinguishing them from one another and reaffirming their identity boundaries. National anthems transfer a message that is purposively meticulously constructed. In this paper the content and the “hidden” meanings of old national anthem of the kingdom of Nepal and new national anthem of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal are analyzed. The literary, political, social and contextual analysis of the two national anthems has been made in focus in this present article.

The reflections of every individual who lives in a different cultural country, is similar to the case of Prema and other characters of Seasons of Flight. The characters are the metaphors to represent all the migrants living in around the world either to earn money or to earn a further degree. This article examines the sensitive experiences of Manjushri Thapa herself living in America.

The textual evidences available and the Chakrasambhara rituals practiced uninterruptedly in the monastery are the living examples of the long tradition of a Buddhist monastery. Similarly, the people of Tibet, Mustang (both upper and lower), Dolpo, Nar, Nyisang, Manang and adjacent regions irrespective of caste and creed come to this monastery with their cultural belief of making vows; and the act of taking abhisinchana and drinking holy water bathed to Ngari Jobo (Chenrezig)-the major idol of this monastery, with a faith that erases the sins and the negative energies. The monastery was the shrine of regional and divinely lord among three others founded by the central Yarlung Dynasty of Lhasa, where the protector idols of Arya Avalokiteshvara known as Chenrezig and Padmasambhava known as Sangye Nipa or Guru Rinpoche were installed. These incidents of eleventh century were related to the history of Ngari (western Tibet). Thus all these three except the central shrine established in Lhasa were the protector deities of the remote regions captured by the Yarlung dynasty in seventh century. Its connection with the other very important and aged-old Buddhist spiritual pilgrimage center, Guru Sang-Phug is the other solid proof of the Buddhist tradition of the monastery.
