Remarks: There are many misconceptions regarding yoga- meditation, spiritual sites and spirituality. It is mainly because Indian Hindus have made replica temples in India and advertised nicely. Therefore, People do not know such mysterious places as Google – Wiki has not kept information. For example, Kedarnath is in Jumla and Somnath is in Jomsom but the Indian government has advertised so nicely for their replica temples. Holy River Ganga originates from ‘Gangapurna Himal’ – the crystal clear HE water (male water) and flows through India. May you explore and feel the difference! Just understand, Nepal is the land of Devas, Vedas and Rishimunis. It is the pious land where from VEDIC SANATAN DHARMA (the universal laws) started. Religious sects viz. Hindu, Buddhist, Islam, Jews, Christians etc are mere the branches of Vedic Sanatan Dharma. //
