Namaste and welcome back to Upaaya Lab. I am your host, Kamal Dhakal. We often hear that exercise is good for the body, but what if I told you there is one specific activity that can reduce the risk of dementia by a staggering 76 percent? It’s not running, it’s not weightlifting, and it’s not even a crossword puzzle. It is the art of Dance.Today, we dive deep into the neuroscience of rhythm. We’ll look at a landmark 21-year study from the New England Journal of Medicine to understand how dancing literally rewires our hippocampus. Then, we bridge this modern science with the ancient wisdom of the Shiva Tandava, exploring why the 'Cosmic Dance' is the ultimate technology for a sharp mind and a blissful soul. Let’s simplify the complex and find the 'Upaaya'—the solution—for a healthier brain."हामीले सधैं सुन्दै आएका छौं कि व्यायाम शरीरको लागि राम्रो हुन्छ, तर के तपाईंलाई थाहा छ एउटा यस्तो क्रियाकलाप छ जसले बिर्सने रोग अर्थात् 'डिमेन्सिया' को जोखिमलाई ७६ प्रतिशत सम्म कम गर्न सक्छ? यो दौडनु वा जिम जानु मात्र होइन, यो हो 'नृत्य' अर्थात् नाच।आजको अंकमा हामी लय (Rhythm) को स्नायुविज्ञान अर्थात् Neuroscience को बारेमा गहिरो छलफल गर्नेछौं। हामी न्यु इङ्गल्याण्ड जर्नल अफ मेडिसिनको २१ वर्ष लामो अनुसन्धानलाई केलाउनेछौं र बुझ्नेछौं कि नाचले कसरी हाम्रो मस्तिष्कको 'हिप्पोक्याम्पस' लाई पुनर्जीवित गर्छ। साथै, यो आधुनिक विज्ञानलाई हामी 'शिव ताण्डव' को प्राचीन दर्शनसँग जोड्नेछौं। आउनुहोस्, जटिल सिद्धान्तहरूलाई सरल भाषामा बुझौं र स्वस्थ मस्तिष्कका लागि सही 'उपाय' खोजौं।"Disclaimer: views and material presented in this channel are mine, not of my employer

अंग्रेजी नयाबर्ष २०२६ को सबै लाइ शुभकामान। आउनुहोस यो बर्ष हरेक दिन कम्तिमा २० मिनेट ध्यान गर्ने प्रतिज्ञा गरौ। नयाबर्ष मा हामीले धेरै प्रतिज्ञा गार्छौ तर ति कमै मात्र पुरा हुन्छन। अहिले संसार भरि अशान्ति, युद्द, अनिश्चितता मौलाउदै गएको र परस्पर प्रेम र सद्भाव, दयामाया करुणा भने ओईलाउदै गएको छ। ध्यान गर्ने बानि को विकास गर्ने हो भने हामी भित्र को करुणाको जागरण हुन्छ र करुणा भरिएको मनिष हिंसा र युद्द चाहदैन। आजको यो उपाय ल्याब पोडकास्ट मा यहि कुरा लाइजोड दिदै जापानमा विकास भएको बुद्ध दर्शनको महायान भित्र को एक ध्यान पद्धति जाजेंन को चर्चा गरेको छु समय मिल्द सुन्नु होला है

Welcome to the Upaaya Lab Podcast ! In this episode we will discuss Nepal’s history carries the legacy of women who rose above obstacles to lead with courage.In this episode, we explore two remarkable leaders:Queen Rajendra Laxmi (18th Century) — navigating palace conspiracies, facing power struggles with Bahadur Shah, ordering the execution of Bhairav Singh, and using cultural and religious rituals to secure legitimacy.Sushila Karki (21st Century) — Nepal’s first female Chief Justice and, in 2025, the country’s first female Prime Minister. Known for fearless judgments against corruption, resisting impeachment attempts, and leading the nation in the aftermath of the Gen Z movement.Despite being separated by more than two centuries, both women demonstrate one timeless truth:Leadership is not just about power, but about courage, integrity, and cultural grounding.How China’s Confucius Institutes use language and culture as soft power, even in top U.S. universities.How the Middle East uses religion, media, and tradition to build political influence.Why Nepal’s current politics struggles when it loses touch with cultural values.🎙️ This is the story of Two Women, Two Centuries, One Courage.Queen Rajendra Laxmi laid the path in the 18th century, and today Sushila Karki carries that legacy into the 21st.पालको इतिहासमा महिलाले देखाएको नेतृत्व साहसिक र प्रेरणादायी छ।यस एपिसोडमा हामी दुई असाधारण नारी नेतृहरूलाई सम्झन्छौं:रानी राजेन्द्र लक्ष्मी (१८औँ शताब्दी) — दरबारभित्रको षड्यन्त्र, भाइ बहादुर शाहसँगको सत्ता संघर्ष, भैरवसिंह थापाको मृत्युदण्ड जस्ता कठोर निर्णय, र धार्मिक संस्कारमार्फत वैधता खोज्ने शैली।सुशिला कार्की (२१औँ शताब्दी) — पहिलो महिला प्रधानन्यायाधीश र हाल नेपालकी पहिलो महिला प्रधानमन्त्री। भ्रष्टाचारविरुद्ध निडर निर्णय, इम्पिचमेन्टको सामना, र Gen Z आन्दोलनपछि देशको नेतृत्व।यी दुई कथाले एउटै सन्देश दिन्छन् — नेतृत्व केवल पद होइन, साहस, इमानदारी र संस्कृतिप्रति निष्ठा हो।__________________________________________________________________________साथै हामीले छलफल गर्छौं:संस्कृति र राजनीति बीचको गहिरो सम्बन्ध।चीनका Confucius Institutes — कसरी भाषा र संस्कृतिलाई soft power बनाएर अमेरिका लगायत विश्वका विश्वविद्यालयमा प्रभाव जमाइयो।मध्यपूर्व — सउदी अरेबिया, इरान, कतार, दुबईले धर्म, मिडिया र परम्परालाई राजनीतिक शक्ति बनाए।नेपाल — किन आजको राजनीति संस्कृतिसँग मेल खान नसक्दा असफल देखिन्छ।Disclaimer : Views are mine not of my employer

Apple Podcast :UpaayaLab Have you ever asked what the world is made of?This video explains the evolution of the atomic model. We begin with the first atomic ideas and move through the work of J.J. Thomson, Niels Bohr, and Maria Goeppert.You will see how our view of matter changed over time. People once believed matter had only electrons and protons. Karl Marx used that view to frame his idea of two opposing classes. But the discovery of the neutron changed the picture. Matter is not a fight between two forces. It is a structure of three particles — electron, proton, and neutron — living in balance.The story shows how science, philosophy, and spirituality meet. It suggests that the truth of the universe may not be struggle but harmony.#AtomicModel #RishiKanad #ScienceAndSpirituality #NepaliScience #AtomsAndRealityतपाईंले कहिल्यै सोध्नुभएको छ, यो संसार केबाट बनेको हो?यस भिडियोमा हामी परमाणु मोडेलको विकासको कथा बुझ्छौं। सुरुका विचारदेखि लिएर जे.जे. थमसन, नील्स बोर, र मारिया गोएपर्टका योगदानसम्म पुग्छौं।कुनै समय पदार्थ केवल इलेक्ट्रोन र प्रोटोनबाट बनेको मानिन्थ्यो। त्यसै आधारमा कार्ल मार्क्सले दुई वर्गको संघर्षको विचार पनि राखे। तर न्यूट्रोनको खोज पछि दृष्टिकोण बदलियो। पदार्थ दुई शक्तिको संघर्ष होइन। यो त इलेक्ट्रोन, प्रोटोन, न्यूट्रोन तीनै मिलेर बनेको सन्तुलन हो।

In this Episode, you hear my spiritual journey. I talk about my time with different spiritual organizations in Nepal and the United States. You see what I learned, what challenged me, and how these experiences shaped my path.I explain Swami Rama’s research in Topeka, Kansas, the Dalai Lama’s conferences with neuroscientists, and Matthieu Ricard’s MRI brain studies on meditation and compassion.You discover how ancient wisdom and modern science connect. You see how both guide you toward peace, clarity, and a deeper understanding of your own mind. This video gives you ideas to reflect on your practice and your journey.

You Tube : / @upaayalab One sloka in Sanskrit Says -वादे वादे जयते तत्त्वबोधः (Vade vade jayate tattvabodh) which means "Enlightenment is achieved through Debate".The reason behind Evolution of Modern Science and Philosophy is scientists and philosopher indulge in meaningful dialogues and discussion to acquired knowledge by sharing information. The deep and meaningful discussion is lost in this digital world. Conversation leads to ideas , ideas make our mind beautiful, beautiful mind makes to beautiful life and society. This is my attempt to spark mine as well as listeners minds. Always remember the saying -"Great minds discuss ideas,

Mediocre minds discuss events,

Small minds discuss people."
