            Preface   KIRAT AND MUNDUM  "I'll be immortal, won't l?" These are the words expressed by the shaman, Shiva Raj Rai many times during the period of collection and publication of the mundum . In fact, the extinct of the mundum , which contains the experiences, philosophy and knowledge and wisdom of the kirat community and which has been being transmitted traditional from one generation to another from the preshistoric time through shamans does not mean the demise of Shiva Raj Rai alone, but the loss of the entire kirati knowledge and heritage.  Conversely, preservation of the mundum will only not make Shiva  Raj Rai immortal bit it will save the kirati knowledge and heritage. This can only be done by collection and publication of the mundum . This is our campaign and we believe that this campaign will be broader and more extensive in the days to come. This volume " Mundum : The myth of origin" is the first step in the journ...

 History of Soisoila'  How did the origin of 'Soisoila', a song sung by the Kirantis when they dance Sakela, i.e. the song of Sakela song? Even though a lot of recordings or videos of Sakela songs have been produced, only a few people have tried to find a concrete and authentic answer to this question. It is imperative that the young generation pay attention to the historical search and research of these seemingly small, but seriously related topics with the entire Kirati civilization.   According to Mundum researcher Bhogiraj Chamling, it is important to explain 'Soisoila' in connection with history.  The story of 'Soisoila' is popular in the geography from Sunuwar to Bantwa Rais. According to the Sunuwars, a Kiranti king named Budahopo used to rule in Banepa region. He was an expert in Mundum. When he was king, his dynasty had a golden bird called 'Homa Chiri'. However, when the share was distributed, there was a quarrel between the king and his br...

 Torempa is an ancient Kirati man.He prefers much liquor(wasim/ummak). According to a myth, Torempa is hosted by his relatives angpa-angma(samdhi-samdhini) with liquor. But he does not seem to be content with the liquor. Torempa put his head in the pot of liquor when angpa-angma were out of their house. He could not take out his head from the lid of the pot which made him died there itself. So there is a belief in the kirati community where the spirit of Torempa hunts the people in the form of dizziness and stomach paining. Indeed, there is a ritual practice in the kirat community where the guests must drink their liguor immediately after they are served, otherwise Torempa might suffer spiritually.
