Nepali tradition and history will somehow be preserved by this podcast. Really appreciate the careful selection of guests in the podcast. 🙏
She is very well spoken and confident when she is talking about things. I also like how she is upfront and honest about things she doesn’t know. She just admits that she doesn’t know or she is unsure when asked about certain things. She doesn’t try to pretend that because she was once a Goddess she knows everything or doesn’t even care what people might think if she says she doesn’t know having been a Kumari once. Such a positive soul!! 💓 We need more honest people like these today.. 😊
I got goosebumps when she explained about royal massacre

She is so clam and pure I feel peace just by hearing her👏👏👏
got goosebumps when she woke up from bed and said mero rune duty sakkyo. 40:43
She is so well educated. Loved listening to her.
Our Goddess, Our Kumari, Our Dakini, educated by Padmasambhava.
Love and Respect to you.
"Mero chhai rune duty sakyo"
That literally gave me goosebumps.
Not comparing with other podcast but sushant dai got such a calm and positive vibe 🙂 such a good listener dai. Keep it up ❤️
Comment check gardai herne bani le tapailai vetye ta😂🙏
@@themahendralimbu9569 hahaha lol 😂
Best video
I follow and listen to all Nepali podcast as it helps me to get closer with my country. Your podcast is helping me to know Nepal's history, geography and overall Nepal better. Keep on bringing such personality, last episode was one of a kind 👍 loved this episode equally.
9:10 As the story goes The King (Jayprakash Malla) used to play Tripasa with Goddess Taleju in secret. One day while playing, he had sensual desires towards her after which she disappeared never to be seen in her true form again. His only penance would be to build a temple in her name where she would reside as a virgin girl until she comes of age.
Yes exactly 👍
I am a student studying in banglore i am able to connect deeply what's going on the country I hope one day i will serve my nation for good cause.. I love your podcast I wish your podcasts reach to every single person in the country so they understand what steps to be taken for our nation to grow and we can preserve our culture ..
Aja maile first time show herey .. hamro culture bare ajha deyrai bujne mauka paye. Thank you Sushant n team. Kumaridhyo yata kotikoti pranam 🙏🙏🙏 proud to be Nepali..
wow she answered so good while talking about child rightsss
really you have an another level of calmness and inteliigencee
I believe the tradition of Kumari is a teaching to society to respect Girls and Women. And tantra is truly remarkable something world need to learn from Newah people something not to be lost during to so called new European education system invading the peoples minds world wide .
@gauRAWv wdym Newari it’s every nepalis tradition it’s like saying that only white peoples are able to rule lmao grow up kid there is no such thing as newari chettri and stuff nowadays
Loved the guest...so interesting today's podcast...thank you Sushant ji for bringing her.
Sushant dai has done great job!!
Atti knowledgable podcast💖⚘
Just found out about this episode & this is such an enlightening conversation.
My afterthoughts:
It was enlightening because I was listening to a real goddess speaking. Proud of our culture, tradition & history. Utmost respect to all the kumaris
This is the best one episode ever for me that I listened without skipping👍
Shusant Pradan Podcast >>>>> Paradym Podcast
This podcast is so Amazing 🔥🔥🔥
I got so fascinated about kumari listening to this. I hope i can go see kumari someday ❤️
One of the most beautiful episodes
This podcast needs English subtitles. TOO much misinformation about this tradition is spread by foreign media.
Dai respect for the choices of the guests 🙏
She is very well spoken....thank you for sharing the unknown history of Kumari pratha...
This video was very informative. I got to so much about the culture and rituals through. Thank you Sushant for bringing in diverse speakers.
It was very informative as i always wanted to know about this ..Keep up good work &Best of luck for upcoming podcast…
Very informative video. Learnt a lot abt whole process. Please make more podcast like this
You are doing good job inviting people like Anil Chitrakar,Ex Kumari & many others. Looking forward to see Yadab Lal Kayastha in your Podcast soon
She’s our smartest Kumari of Nepal. 🇳🇵
Beautiful presentation. Thank you. Both side.
Her English is far impeccable :)
Very informative being a newari🙏
Thank you for this🙏🙏🙏
such an informative podcast. I hope this puts positive light on those people banging in the name of child rights, spreading bad messages against Kumari tradition. Infact the experience is something a Kumari girl adorns her whole life. Its such an honour to be Kumari!!! Thank you Sushant pradhan and Chanira Bajracharya. this was so insightful!!!
Aweome podcast again, great content
Hi Sushant, what an awesome job you are doing. Love listening and viewing to your podcasts. Possible to get them with subtitles so that we can share with wider audience ? Just a humble suggestion.
The way she spoke just wow,
Very interesting podcast just loved it🙏🙏
Amazing episode ❤️
This is actually the best podcast that you have made ❤
Such an interesting podcast I’ve ever gone through ❤️
Thank you so much brother. It was so good .
I’ve met her during her reign. She is such a sweet girl then and now💕
Such a well spoken lady
Ek dum nai informative 💕💕💕💕

Thank you and goddess.
Today i get a chance to learn about our kumari culture and its facts.
Once again thank you sushant pradhan brother.
Keep rocking and wondering us with such kinds of unknown personalities.
अहिले सम्मकै बेस्ट prodcast लाग्यो.....
Loved dis episode 💓
Very knowledgeable content..
As a guy from terai, This session was very informative. Such diverse community we have! Thanks for sharing.
The way she explained I find it very clam and informative.. this episode of podcasts is really interesting..
Best podcast 👌👌👌❤️❤️
Very nice interview. Her mother Mrs. Champa knows, shares lots of amazing, interesting incidents about her during kumari.
Sushant Pradhan you are doing great job buddy
यो सँम्वाद राम्रो लाग्यो खुसी लाग्यो तर कुमारी को बारेमा सुन्न पाउदा तर यस्तो प्राचिन पर्वहरूको तथा धार्मिक कुराहरू गर्दा नेपाली बाट भए कति खुसी लाग्थयो सबैले अङ्गेजी बुज्दैन यसरी सँम्वाद गर्दा नेपालीमा सुन्न पाए यो बारे सबैले बुझ्न सहज हुने थियो ,मैले मेरो मनमा लागेको कुरा राखेको मात्रै धन्यवाद
Hamro kurmari maa haru newari ma kura garnu hunxa whole time uha haru nepali bolnu hudaina jhan paila ta completely newari aba aaile aayara k ho tha xina natra ta newari nai ho kumari ghar ma bolnay sab lay .. its a pleasure to hear our former kumari to speak not just newari and nepali but also international language too 🤗
Wow what an interview 👏, thank u both n I learned a lot about Kumari. She sounds very intelligent and intellectual.
देशको इतिहाँस, कला, संस्कृति, सभ्यताको बारेमा हरेक Podcast so interesting & enjoyable !
So insightful and interesting. Thank you for this episode!
I got goosebumps 😮😬
I really feel blessed to hear about Kumari goddess.
But also I would love to hear about parents voice their side of things how they Handel ? how’s there journey etc .
Thank you 😊
I think the whole experience of her being ex goddess and how she got adapted to this modern environment and the way she express that is amazingly beautiful.
We can't even adapt when the season is changing and she has to get adapted to a whole new life. It's overwhelming and she explained that experience so beautifully..
And the way of showing our culture in this podcast is like preserving our culture. So many people don't knw about kumari. I think this video may help to give knowledge to them who are unknown.
And one day I would like to visit kumari and worship her.
Bro please Preeti shakya lae pane bolaunu na show ma she's also a former Kumari from Kathmandu. I think her story might be more interesting nd different than patan ko Kumari.... anyway great podcast show ❤️
Thank you for the video God bless your podcast 🇳🇵🇳🇵🙏
awesome content
Thanks for the podcast. It was amazing to listen to living goddess. The only thing missing was the financial side. Pay, perks and donations etc. At one point she mentioned pension once retired. I know finance is a delicate matter. But thoroughly enjoyed. Lots of info.
Love this one!!! One of the best one out there. But I think the questions were a little too repetitive. Otherwise, unique and enjoyable.
thankyou for this
My question is why didnt they stop the chariot immediately when Kumari predicted something bad and why didn’t they took extra precautions about the king's family when the Kumari started crying continuously?? It was such a great episode, so good to know all about The Kumari Goddesse! Jay Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵
Who would know if Royal family would die that night just cause she cried? Anything could have happened. But yeah about Chariot they could’ve stopped or could have though about it.
There is a common perception that the role of being a Kumari deprives young girls of their rights as children. However, what people fail to consider is the fact that the entire country, government, and even the girl's own parents worship her as a divine figure. While in the past, there were certain aspects like education and socialization that were lacking, these have improved significantly over time. From my perspective, I believe that being a Kumari is a privilege for girls, as they are treated with reverence and regarded as living goddesses, unlike an ordinary girl.
Such a pure soul.. Good luck for your future..
I remember living in gabahal when i was kid so I remember her , she use to live just across a street . As Kids I and my friend use to play around we saw her sitting at window sometimes but we never talk or became friends just a smile thats all she is beautiful and was so cute whn she ws kid
I think the podcast was really short … Could have asked more questions also , about her aunt who was former kumari as well and who has been living as kumari till today …
Kumari Royo vane kehi naramro hunx re suneko thiy ho rahex 😢❤
You look so calm 🙂 like a goddess 🌹
Overacting padcast hernu bhanda hamro sushant dai ko Podcast herna maja aucha long way to go dai love love ❤️❤️
She is so defensive toward Kumari tradition and says it should be preserved. But had it been preserved the way it was 50 years ago, she would not have been speaking like the way she is now. She is where she is and how she is because of the voices that asked for the changes.
I am not sure how many of you guys know that there is one more Kumari in Lalitpur, Bungamati. Bungamati is also a home of Red Machendranath ( Ratho Machendranath ). There was a big Ratho Machendranath Temple which was destroyed by earthquake and still could not able to build it.
If i need new learn more about Nepal always search the Sushant Pradhan podcast !❤❤

royal family owla part cried such big think
🙏
This podcast is so amazing. Please make it with English subbed or dubbed version or in other major language. 🙏🙏
Why dubbed version?
@@mrjokerxrijan4179 Although the subbed version is acceptable, the dubbed version will reach a larger audience because not everyone prefers the subbed version.
Yes please!
Yt sub caption on gara
Kyaa daami explain garyaa yr..so so so nice 😊
Sushant bhai, is very nice and wonderful and it is very surprising the fluency in Nepali of former goddess kumari. Please come with young and different subjects.
47:30 that movie is Gajalu
Former Kumari and Living Goddess Ms. Chanira Bajracharya from Patan, Nepal, busted several myths. She clears all myths related to the Kumari tradition with such maturity and explains why this culture is deeply important to Nepal. I hope you all enjoy this podcast.

Wow Superhit No.1 Podcast Sushant Podcast creating history day by day....Another Great Episode❤️....म पनि रसिलो अनि हसिलो भिडियो बनाउछु, यतातिर नि माया देखाइदिम ल ❤️
call her mommy as well. story haru ajai sunnu man lagyo.
❤
❤❤
I think there will be someday when a woman with a scar will also be selected for kumari. But there is definitely a magical phenomena about it. I believe in spirits and magic.
❤❤❤❤
We need English subtitles too please🙏🙏🙏
I want to share this with my. Some foreigner friends... Please please
Bruh you got to do some frigging research, you can't just grill the participant. Just not fair. You need to throw some of your research then along with the research try to connect with her knowledge. I understand people will hate me for this comment. But I am just not feeling cool about your strategy to produce a podcast. #rant
On the other side, yes it's a massive knowledge shared. #optimism
I felt the same too. This podcast is undoubtedly a gem but Sushant could have done more research and asked variety of questions rather than asking her about the 'challenges of being kumari' multiple times throughout the podcast.
Anyways, it was great to hear something that isn't found easily in mainstream media.
Sahi ho
