Dhawalgaon

 

There was a small village in the eastern hilly region of Nepal, known to everyone as "Dhawalgaon". The village was nestled in the lap of hills, where there was a tradition of cultivating grain, rearing animals and sharing happiness in small fairs. A girl named Bindu used to live in the village. She was bright, brave and extremely curious.\n\nOne day, Bindu came across an old book in the village's old library. In that text it was written that there is a mysterious cave at the top of the mountain, in which a miraculous lamp called the "Lamp of Life" is burning. It is said that whoever meets that lamp, there will never be darkness in his life. However, to reach the cave, various tests have to be done. \n\nBindu found this story very interesting. She decided to go find that lamp. She asked permission from her parents, and took some water, food and a lamp with her and started the journey. His first challenge was to cross the mountain pass. To cross the gorge one had to use the old bridge there, which was weak and cracked. Bindu overcame her fear, used her strength and patience and crossed the bridge.\n\nIn the next step, she had to go through a dense forest. In that forest, the trees covered the sky, and the path was very dark. Suddenly, he felt as if a tiger had stopped him. But, that tiger was not real. It was a cheating test. Bindu gathers her courage and goes ahead and overcomes the challenge.\n\nOn her journey beyond the forest, she meets a saint, who tells her, "Whoever wants to meet the lamp of life, must give up all his greed, fear, and anger." Bindu meditated for some time and calmed herself down. She realized that there was a depth of courage and patience within her.\n\nFinally she reached the mouth of the cave. As she entered the cave, she saw a small, but very bright lamp burning. The light of the lamp was not just an external light, it was a symbol of spiritual knowledge. As she approached Deep, she realized that the real miracle was uncovering the courage, patience, and faith within her.\n\nFrom that day on, Bindu became an inspirational character in the village. She gave a message to everyone that the biggest lamp of life is burning inside our heart. To understand it and spread its light, we have to embark on a journey of self-enlightenment. The people of Dhawalgaon started practicing love and peace in their lives after hearing Bindu's story. Bindu's adventurous journey has been an inspiration for generations.
