The Truth About Swasthani Brata. In this insightful podcast episode, Hari Prasad Sodari, a renowned Nepali Religious History author, explains the deep spiritual, cultural, and philosophical meaning of Swasthani Katha and Swasthani Brata. The discussion explores the importance of Swasthani, why Swasthani is celebrated every year, and whether this sacred Hindu tradition is followed only by Nepalis or has broader roots in Hindu mythology.

Send us a textIt's been more than to months since I posted an episode, so I thought it was about time I was in touch. I'm speaking from the top of a hill, catching my breath as I look back at the ocean and a large island beyond the harbour. Continuing my walk I can see snow on the local mountain, so it's quite chilly here, for the west coast of Canada. I've been thinking a lot about the podcast. I do plan to continue it, with a focus both on Nepal and Canada. The government here has been making lots of changes to immigration rules in the past couple of years, and I want to talk to Nepalis about how they've been affected. They could be people already living here, those who planned to come — and have maybe changed their minds — and even those who have to leave now because of a new rule. You can help by putting me in touch with people you know who have stories to tell. If they don't want to be identified, we can arrange that. Text me with their info at the link at the top of the notes above, or email me at nepalnowpod(at)gmail.com. Meanwhile, I will keep talking to people and plan to post the first interview in January 2026. Until then, Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and I'll talk to you next time.Support the showShow your love by sending this episode to someone who you think might be interested or by sharing it on social media:LinkedInInstagram BlueSkyFacebook Music by audionautix.com.

In this episode, we sit with Sahat Kasa, the creator behind the SJK Podcast and one of Nepal's most thoughtful young voices, for a conversation that moves from philosophy to society, from technology to personal growth. We begin by exploring individualism vs society and why Sahat believes this tension shapes how young Nepalis think, act, and make decisions. He reflects on Dr. K's ideology, the idea of not being fully self-sufficient, and how morality becomes blurry in a rapidly changing culture. Sahat also shares why so many Nepalis leave the country not out of passion but due to circumstance, and how communal expectations often outweigh personal freedom. The conversation moves into religious philosophies, whether Nepal should become a freer society, and what Socrates' ancient ideas about voting reveal about modern Nepal. Sahat also breaks down issues in the Nepali education system, touches on Sushant Pradhan's career path, and explains how he personally used AI during his studies. Later, Sahat talks about his content shift, the rise of voting based on popularity, influencers facing legal trouble, and whether Nepal is ready for electronic voting. He speaks openly about opportunities Nepal is losing, what he does beyond podcasting, parental support, lessons learned from hosting long-form conversations, and how online communities—from Reddit to social media—shape the new flow of information. From space, freedom, and culture to public figures like Rishi Dhamala and Rajendra Baniya, this episode captures a wide and honest look at the mindset of today's Nepal.

In this powerful conversation, Dipak Gyawali, John David Seddon, and Jason Baidya explore how today's global crises—from *Gaza and Ukraine to Sudan and Iran—*reflect a deeper collapse of the rules-based world order. John Seddon, author of Nepal in Crisis, shares his global perspective on settler colonialism, the Balfour Declaration, and the failure of ceasefire diplomacy. The trio dives into the UN Security Council veto problem, Western economic decline, and the geopolitical tensions shaping Europe and Asia. Gyawali and Baidya bring the discussion closer to home, analyzing Nepal's economy, leadership, Gen Z activism, and the growing monarchy debate. From the UK's housing and healthcare collapse to Iran's nuclear threat and the immigration crisis, the podcast paints a vivid picture of a world struggling for stability. The conversation ends on a sharp reflection about Nepal's role in a changing global order, urging young Nepalis to rethink leadership, democracy, and national identity.

https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/sources-say-bay-area-house-party [previously in series: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] Something is off about this Bay Area House Party. There are . . . women. “I've never seen a gender balance like this in the Bay Area,” you tell your host Chris. “Is this one of those fabled ratio parties?” “No - have you heard of curtfishing? It's the new male dating trend. You say in your Bumble profile that you're a member of the Dissident Right who often attends parties with Curtis Yarvin. Then female journos ask you out in the hopes that you'll bring them along and they can turn it into an article.” “What happens when they realize Curtis Yarvin isn't at the party?” “Oh, everyone pools their money and hires someone to pretend to be Curtis. You can just do things. Today it's Ramchandra.” You follow his gaze, and there is Ramchandra, hair greased back, wearing a leather jacket, surrounded by a crowd of young women. “When I say I'm against furries,” he's explaining, staccato, at 120 wpm, “I mean the sort of captured furries you get under the post-Warren-G-Harding liberal order, the ones getting the fat checks from the Armenians at Harvard and the Department of Energy. I love real furries, the kind you would have found in 1920s New Mexico eating crocodile steaks with Baron von Ungern-Sternberg! Some of my best friends are furries, as de Broglie-Bohm and my sainted mother used to say! Just watch out for the Kikuyu, that's my advice! Hahahahahaha!” Some of the women are taking notes. “But enough about me. When I was seventeen, I spent seven weeks in Bensonhurst - that's in the Rotten Apple, in case you can't tell your Nepalis from your Neapolitans. A dear uncle of mine, after whom I was named…” “Ramchandra is pretty good,” you admit. “Still, if it were me I would have gone with a white guy.” “It's fine,” says Chris. “Curtis describes himself as a mischling, and none of the journos know what that means.” Ramchandra is still talking. “Of course, strawberries have only been strawberries since after the Kronstadt Rebellion. Before that, strawberries were just pears. You had to get them hand-painted red by Gypsies, if you can believe that. Gypsies! So if you hear someone from west of Pennsylvania Avenue mention ‘strawberries', that's what we in the business call il significanto.” “I admit he has talent,“ you say. “But this curtfishing thing - surely at some point your date realizes that you're not actually a high-status yet problematic bad boy who can further her career just by existing, and then she ghosts you, right?” “That's every date in San Francisco. But when you curtfish, sometimes she comps your meal from her expense account. It's a strict Pareto improvement!” After some thought, you agree this is a great strategy with no downsides, maybe the biggest innovation in dating since the invention of alcohol. Having failed to bring your own journo to the party, you look for one who seems unattached. You catch the eye of a blonde woman who introduces herself as Gabrielle, and you try to give her the least autistic “Hello” of which you are capable.

In early September 2025, Nepal witnessed an extraordinary week of upheaval that many now refer to as the ‘five-day revolution'. Within the span of a single week, youth-led ‘Gen Z' protests spread across Kathmandu and other major cities, the prime minister and his government resigned, the army intervened, parliament was dissolved, and Nepal's new (and first female) interim prime minister was sworn in. The events revealed deep frustrations among young Nepalis with corruption, socioeconomic exclusion, and a lack of political accountability. In this episode of the Nordic Asia Podcast, Dr. Jeevan Baniya joins host Hanna Geschewski to explore the deeper forces behind this moment. They discuss the grievances that brought young Nepalis to the streets, why these long-standing frustrations erupted now, and how the ‘Gen Z' protests should be understood in relation to questions of representation and political change. The conversation also considers the diversity within Nepal's youth movement and the pathways through which young people may shape politics in the aftermath of the uprising. Jeevan Baniya is a political scientist and Deputy Director of the research institute Social Science Baha in Kathmandu, Nepal. Hanna Geschewski is a PhD researcher in Human Geography at the Chr. Michelsen Institute and the University of Bergen in Norway. Her work focuses on migration, displacement and socio-environmental change in the Himalayan region and South Asia.

Send us a textYou might have guessed from the headline for this episode that I am leaving Nepal. It's a family move actually, back to my home country of Canada. Of course I will miss Nepal, where I've now spent 14 years of my life, but I'm confident we'll be back one day. I will also miss doing this: speaking to all of you every couple of weeks about this fascinating place and its people. Thank you for taking the time to listen.I'm not sure what the next episode of Nepal Now will sound like, or when I'll be able to post it, but I can say 100% that there will be another one. So keep checking this feed. While waiting you can explore our back catalogue of more than 100 episodes since 2020, which you can listen to for free. So, Nepal Now… from Canada.

Send us a textThe Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 21 hit Nepali migrant workers hard. Thousands working in India were blocked from crossing the border into Nepal. Others overseas were laid off and confined to living quarters with little or no food, no money, and no tickets home. We recorded this episode in the midst of that dark period. While it describes the terrible conditions and uncertainty affecting migrants, it is at the same time a good primer on some of the core issues around migration and Nepal. With my guests Bijaya Rai Shrestha of the NGO AMKAS and academic Ramesh Sunam we touched on topics including:the ban on women migrating to work in Persian Gulf countriesthe impact of caste on decisions to migratethe ‘invisibility' of Nepalis who migrate to work in India andthe need for stronger policies from Nepal's governments.Unfortunately it seems like some of the optimism you'll hear in this episode was unrealistic —little seems to have improved in the migration file in the past five years.ResourcesAMKASRamesh SunamSupport the showYou can subscribe to Nepal Now for as little as $3 a month.
