The current National Anthem goes:

श्रीमान गम्भीर नेपाली, प्रचण्ड प्रतापी भूपति,
श्री५सरकार महाराजाधिराजको सदा रहोस् उन्नति;
राखून् चिरायु ईशले, प्रजा फैलियोस्
पुकारौं जय प्रेमले, हामी नेपाली साराले।

Dont know if this sort of discussion has been made in sajha, but i wanna start this thread to know what you guys think of this. Do, you believe this is the best choice for our national anthem?
Well, in the present circumstances, we cant expect any change, but i wanna know your opinion.

Is the current national anthem appropriate? If no, which song (or poem,...) do you think best reflects the Nepali spirits?

national anthem????

TimroBa!
You are really hilarious.But you forgot Prachanda's trademark -- the BIG mustache.

:)

Naya Rashtrgaan ramro lagyo. Byakul maaila lai badhai chha. Raja ko stuti bhanda Nepal ko jaya bhannu kati kati ramro. SatyaMohan Joshi Jasta Rastraka Shrasta haruko samuha le rojeko geet hamile khojeko jastai ho, hoina ra?

Like Mr. Rai's peom. Wonder who will be the singers?

GUYS HERE'S THE SONG I COMPOSED FOR NEPAL'S NATIONAL ANTHEM:

PLEASE STAND UP AND SING WITH ME:

love is dhoka
Love is the cause of hatred.
Love is the cause of fooliness.

LOVE is thou nothing but DHOKA

oh yeh sha ri dost ho, mein fesha li ya. pheri khabi shay pyar no gor nuin la.
pheri khabi dil lorkhi kho duila.

DHOKA

JAI NEPAL MATA

The selected national anthem is good. It describes "present" Nepal.

I see a minor shortcoming about the future of Nepal. If we could include two lines that express our future dream of Nepal (we struggle to make brighter Nepal etc. before the last line), it would be more emotional. However, the word "अग्रगामी" gives some indication about the same.

OK

Although nothing is perfect, I find this lyrics near to it.

By the way, are there any music composers in Sajha? If yes, why dont you guys prepare your version of National anthem tune?????

IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, NEPAL ONE DAY WILL BE LIKE USSR. NOT PROGRESSING BUT DEGRADING. WHAT DIFFERENCE IT MAKES CHANGING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM? WHEN FORMER USSR SPLITED OUT, THEY CHANGED EVERYTHING AS IT WAS REQUIRED. I WAS IN NEPAL, AND WAS WATCHING TV. AN OLD LADY CAME OUT AND SAID WHY SHOULD SHE BE MORE CONSERNED ABOUT THE ANTHEM OR THE CHANGE OF CURRENCY PICTURE? SHE WANTS TO SEE THE COUNTRY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT FACE HARD TIME AFTER THE SPLIT. AND THESE PEOPLE WERE JUST FOCUSING THEIR AGENDA INTO THE STUPID THING, WHEN THE COUNTRY WILL EVER SEE ITS PROGRESS?

NEPAL WILL BE MORE LIKE WHAT THAT GRAND LADY SAID. WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND WATCH THE SITUATION AS CHANGING THESE THINGS WILL REALLY BRING BREAD AND BUTTER TO THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED!!!

i like the new anthem. interesting point to be noted is that it is written by and being composed by people form minority which is really good.

राम्रो छ, खासगरी पहिलो हरफ. अनि लेखकको साहित्यिक नामै मजाको रेछ.

अलिकति फिका कहाँनेर लागो भने नि यी "सार्वभौम", "अखण्ड" र "अग्रगामी" जस्ता (राजनैतिक) शब्दहरु जे के तेइ प्रयोग गरेको ठाम के.

पहिलो हरफले घुमाउरो पाराले "एकतामा अनेकता र अनेकतामा एकता" भन्न खोजेको होला.
हो तेस्तो घुमाउरोपन ती माथिका ३ शब्दमा पनि भैदेखो भे झन मजाओ हुन्तो कि भन्छु. तर जे होस् मजाओ छ है.

मेरो २ कौडीको टिप्पणी!

lets wait and see how the song will be decorated by amar gurung's music

लोकगीत बेसमा पो आउँछ कि???? जे होस् कर्णप्रीय धूनमैं आउला। शुरुमा कर्णप्रिय नलागे नि, बिस्तारै बिस्तारै मन परिहाल्छ नि।

अब मेरो आजको प्रोजेक्ट: यो नयाँ राष्ट्रिय गान कण्ठ गर्ने!!
:)

Prachanda's trademark is dead Nepali bodies!!

I could not sing this song as a national Anthem cause i grow up with old song....I think my heart could not accept this....song is good even....could not be my national anthem...may be for my son/daughter....
Rastiya Gan bhandaima Rastiya Gan Hudaina.......jaba samma tyo Gan le Timro Maan /Mutu Chhudaina......

बल्ल बल्ल मन्त्रीमन्डलले पास गरेछ त नि गाँठे!

Cabinet approves Maila's song as national anthem

The government has approved the anthem written by poet Byakul Maila as the new National Anthem of Nepal.

Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, Prithivi Subba Gurung informed that the cabinet selected the same song as the country's new national anthem.

On November 30 last year, the national anthem selection task team had selected the song written by Maila, alias, Pradeep Kumar Rai as the new national anthem. However due to disputes over the background of Maila and some words used in the song, there was no further progress.

The new National Anthem was selected from a total of 1,272 different songs submitted from across the country.

The minister also informed that musicians Ambar Gurung and Nhyu Bajracharya have been given responsibility to compose music for the song.

However, Maila was not formally informed by the government about this till Thursday evening. "I knew it through friends. There has been no formal information about the selection from the ministry," he added.

Poet Maila was born in the Hilepani village of Okhaldhunga district 34 years ago. Maila, who holds a Bachelor's degree in Law and a Master's in Public Administration has been serving the Nepali literature for the last one and a half decades. He has written dozens of songs, poems, haikus and is also the editor of Nepali Geet Sangraha (a collection of Nepali songs) and literary magazines like Barbhanjyang. He had actively participated in the April Movement.

The National Anthem is two stanzas long and each stanza has four lines. There are altogether 47 words in the new National Anthem.

The restored House of Representatives in its May 18 Proclamation declared the existing national anthem null and void and decided to develop a new one. nepalnews.com pb Apr 20 07

is the only national song I know of and no one can change it.

I have an idea that probably is good but I know those HIGH OFFICIALS in NEPAL won't like it. Insted of changing the national anthem, we can just change some words in the andthem and make them work
SHriman gambhir nepali, prachanda pratapi bhupati
Shree Neeeepaaaaaaal sarkarko sada rahos unnati
Rakhun chiraush le, praja phaileos
pukarau jay prema le, hami Nepali saraaaalee.

गाउछ् गीत नेपाली ज्योतिको पंखा उचाली
यो पहिले गाउने गरेको हैन र?

I hate two word in this new national anthem :

GYANBHUMI and SHANTIBHUMI --- are you fu(king serious??? Damnit!!!!!
