Usually priest is a person who helps protect people from the evils and misfortune by praying to the god. Not pandit Chakra Charananda Raj Upidhya, the recent main priest of Changu Narayan Temple. He rather wanted to save god from the erroneous and misdeeds of people.
Media Studies students from KU had been to Changu Narayan Temple for a field visit on april 26th 09’. Pandit Dharananda was himself there to explain and help explore the temple and its mythical and factual history. He started with the explanation of the mystical and factual history of the temple. Then he asked us to search a statue what was printed in the ten Rupee note. Then after we had found it out, he explained us how the statue with so much
of significance was placed out side the temple with out any attention or attempt of preservation.
He explained how the statue had to face all the hares of heat and rain. He then explained how the trend of throwing Tika and all ingredients we use for puja can effect the life span of the statue. Thus, he didn't even hesitate to tell that such improper tradition to pray should be changed and so appealed to youths to be the force of change.
