About : 

• Tiger is the magnificent species of the largest of all the Asian big cats. Being at the top of the food chain, tiger is an indicator species of the healthy ecosystem in which they live and on which people depend. This charismatic species is getting closer to extinction. Since 1998, tigers have lost 40 percent of their habitat and today occupy only seven percent of the historic range. In just one century, the estimated tiger population in the wild has declined from 100,000 to as few as 3200 globally. There are only a little more than 155 wild adult tigers in Nepal. Poaching and illegal trade of their body parts are the largest immediate threats along with habitat loss.

Name : Jayanthan Nambudiripad

Born on Sep 27, 1826 at Kerala, India

Died on Jan 28, 1963 at Dhrubsthali, Kathmandu, Nepal

About : 

• Born in Kerala state of India in 1862 A.D., Shivapuri Baba achieved Divinity. After visiting the entire world two times, Baba came to reside at Pashupat Region of Nepal and guided his followers at Shivapuri hills and Sleshmantak Forest (Dhruvasthali) until his death in 1963 A.D. Due to his invaluable teachings, which he preached from the Shivapuri hills, he was popularly known as Shivapuri Baba instead of his real name Shree Govindananda Bharati.
• The chief contribution of Shivapuri Baba to the mankind is his principles of righteous life. According to him, man suffers from three miseries on earth. His principles of righteous life explain three disciplines, for freeing human beings from the aforesaid miseries.
• Physical-intellectual discipline, the first one which has the virtues to purify health and knowledge, gives dexterity in actions to make life successful. Pleasures from them end along death. Mental-moral discipline (the second one) frees man from envy and rage; strengthens commanding and controlling powers. It removes worries and derives contentment, but this too ends along death. Similarly, Spiritual Discipline, the third and the last one, frees man from Desire and enlightens the individual. It comes through meditation and makes one Omniscient – Omnipotent – Omnipresent – ever blissful and immortal, with the grace of God.
• Thus, the righteous life is the grand panacea to all human miseries, which ultimately leads all towards the Divine land of no return.
• The teachings of Shivapuri Baba on righteous life are simple, easy, and desirable to all people, community, religion, and situation.
