KIRAT AND MUNDUM

            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...

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.
