Literary writings for the public or self-praise?
A flood of literary publications is there in the market. It has been felt that there has been a flood of writing and publishing literature, autobiography, poetry, stories, travelogue, etc. in the country. It is not an exaggeration to say that even the latest technology has a substantial contribution.
The works of senior citizens should come to the market rather than young writers.
Specifically, creative writing is called literature. Literary creation uses social, reality, imagination and self-imagination. Poetry, story, novel, drama and essay are the creative distinctions of literature, while literature is creation.
At a cursory glance, Nepali literature has also created various genres of literature. When studying the development of Nepali literature, is divided into primary, secondary and modern periods. Along with the chronological division of literary creation, diversity can also be found in the themes of the works at that time. There is always a general belief that there should be some purpose behind the writing and that the reader should get something special out of it.
Most of the writers are also expressing some opinion about the purpose of their writing. It is said that the writer is nothing in himself, life, nature, society and time are expressed through the writer.
The writer does not know in what form the element that wants to be expressed is trying to come. He keeps writing, the characters keep talking and gossiping. In many places, the author himself is surprised by the characters' dialogues and strange events.
Literature is a mirror of social history. It can be said that it is a bridge connecting the past and future. In a literary composition, the creator or author selects the subject matter. Those topics can be religious, social, political, and economic. In the creation of literature, the creator uses originality or originality, artistic language, human emotion, feeling, interaction, and experience along with his style of craft. The themes used in literature can be social, economic, political, religious and historical. The purpose of creating literature can be any of the following: religion, meaning, work and salvation. Through literature, the writer or author portrays society. It shows what needs to be improved. In this way, it gives a positive message of good character, ideals and ethics. It seems that there is a direct influence of religion and culture in Nepali literature.
There is a lot of literature based on religious traditions for an idealistic society. In the primary period of Nepali literature, it is found to be influenced by the influence of the Sanskrit language, the practice of Gurukul education, religious beliefs and ancient traditions. Collectively, the literature created by the direct influence of Vedic religion and culture in society and social behavior seems to have ethical, moral and religious themes.
To be more clear, it seems that it started with the direct influence of ageing in Nepali literature. There is a tradition of selecting goddesses and gods as ideal characters, and their character, behavior and life history as the subject matter of literature.
Books such as Ramayana, Mahabharata, Krishna Charitra, Swasthani, Hitopadesha, Panchatantra, Bible in English have been translated into the Sanskrit language. It is known that old age is the basis of the content in the literature composed after the translation. In the narrative and nonnarrative works composed in Nepali literature, the sense of old age or creation occupies an important and more place.
It seems that most of the literary originals and translated works that have the theme of religious stories such as Katha, Gopika Stuti - different periods of time use the story material of long or short old age.
Also, taking the character of manyajan goddesses and deities as a base, their stories or behavior have been recorded in literature. Since the tendency to consider characters, narratives and sermons based on Hindu scriptures as the basic basis was seen in the primary period, it seems that most of the primary works of Nepali literature used more aspects of old age.
Old age literature is not only stories and sorrows of old people, it is also a bridge connecting the past with the future. Literature represents old age and its effects, experiences, and feelings. Therefore, literature created based on old age is old age literature. In general, the literature that is written in different genres of literature about senior citizens or old age and its effects, experiences and feelings is the literature of old age. In general, human creation, its dynamics, birth, death, rebirth, naturalness, divine power, miracles, faith, belief, and perception are found. Ageing is a sovereign reality. It is the overall aspect of the collective experiences of primitive civilizations, which include human and natural phenomena. Literature and Religion Faith and devotion to religion are found in all scriptures of the world.
Every religion has described its own story about the creation, origin and development of the world. When studying the world's ageing literary tradition, ageing and religion come together.
Old age has been mixed with religious sentiments since ancient times. Old age literature can be considered as primitive science, primitive thought and religion. Hinduism cannot be separated from the Vedas, legends and Puranas, all of which include stories of old age. Buddhism has advanced the tradition of ageing literature through Jataka stories. Similar stories in Christianity and Judaism have discussed the experiences and supernatural powers of God and the elderly.
The relationship between senior citizens or old age and literature are related topics. Old age and its experience are expressed in literature. The ageing experience can be presented in the literature. The creation of old age is considered synonymous with memoir literature. Vedic literature is a vivid example of this. In Western literature, Milton, Rowley, Keats, Eliot and in Nepali literature, the stories of ageing literature and ancient personalities are found in the works of Somnath Sigdyal, Lakshmi Prasad Devkota, Siddhicharan Shrestha, Vishweshwara Prasad Koirala, Kamalmani Dixit, Balakrishna Sam, Bhavani Bhikkhu, Dhruvachandra Gautam, Narayan Dhakal etc. In the compositions of the early Veeradhara, there are discussions about the surroundings of some old age and the pilgrimage or Dham to reach the final state. Old age environment, Kashi, Varanasi, Ganga, and hell are discussed, while in the discussion of the comparison of the characters with Shukracharya, Brihaspati, Brahma, Indra, ageing environment, events and characters such as praise of Krishna are seen in the eulogy, while in the works of Bhakti Dhara, Ugrasena, Devaki, Vasudeva, Akrura, Yudhishthira, Old characters like Bashishtha, Dasharatha, Kaushalya, Janaka are used and discussed. Ramayana, Mahabharata, Srimad Bhagavata, Krishna Charitra, etc. have been used in literature based on the old age condition and environment. In early Nepali literature, it seems that stories, events, characters and environments of old age are used. The use of senior citizen or ageing literature has come to be associated with the creation of humans and nature. When looking at human life and the world, it generally includes human creation, its dynamics, birth, death, rebirth, naturalness, divine power, miracles, belief, faith, and perception. Ageing literature is also this sovereign reality. It is the overall aspect of the collective consciousness of primitive civilizations, which includes human and natural phenomena. He presented the idea that ageing literature was born from facts. Senior citizen or old age literature has moved forward by carrying the ideological beliefs, thoughts and beliefs of the human community. In the topics covered in the literature on ageing, there are extended forms of human consciousness and experience, following which the development of human civilization has reached its present state. Philosophy and ancient stories that can affect all human consciousness are connected. Through the symbols, images and metaphors used in philosophy, truth, experience and belief are brought to the world. Almost all writers in Nepali literary circles consider themselves to be anarchists. The main reason for this is that except for a few who write for their own "self-pleasure", most of the conscious writers get into writing because of some disagreement with the authority and system. Write for your own pleasure. If the book is published but the readership gradually decreases, then digitizing the works and creations so that even the young generation can use them, and if modern artificial intelligence etc. are created in a positive and slogan way, it will be more fruitful, informative and timely otherwise. Who can say that writing is bad even for personal pleasure? It is said that Goswami Tulsidas published the Ramayana in his own style, and then people started giving him advice and suggestions, if you had presented this, otherwise, the result would have been more beautiful, such incidents seem incomplete. After listening to everyone, Goswamiji says – I did not compose Ramcharitra Manash for your constant comments, whatever you like about it, that is all your business. Tulsida says Swanta Sukhay Tulsi Raghunath Gatha. Swanta Sukhay is a very high-level word, but this group of words does not care whether our work is recognized by others or not "Swant Sukhay, who is a responsible worker and who gets public recognition whether his work is criticized or praised Tulsidasji is in the first stage (Ramachatitman's Balkanda) in the seventh verse of the seven verses written by me in Sanskrit: Nanapuranigam sammat yad Nanapuranigamgam svant: sukhay svant: sukhay means for one's own happiness, self-pleasure, self-enjoyment. Whatever man does in this world, the goal of all is self-pleasure. Gaining knowledge, marriage, children, chanting, austerities, worship, fasting and all rituals hide the sense of self-satisfaction. Even in selfishness, charity, meditation and worship, the feeling of human happiness is hidden. If you think about it, people eat, drink, sleep, laugh, cry and sing for their own happiness. When Tulsidas composed Ramcharit Manas, he was worshipped and praised by all. But at the very beginning of Manas it was made clear that the purpose of creation is self-gratification. In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Maharishi Yajnavalkya, while imparting knowledge to his wife Maitreyi, said, O Maitreyi! The wife is not dear to the husband, but the husband is dear to the soul. Sons may not be dear to the father but are dear to the soul. A father may not be dear to his son, but he is dear to the soul.
