सतोपंथ :: तिग अनंतिम यात्रा

Rongpa community is much older than twelve decades. Mean while the Rongpa community has almost lost its existence. The ancient evidences has shown Rongpa communities own history. While describing the world "Rongpa" or Rang-pa. RANGPA= rang+pa, the word rang exist as rigid valley and Pa the commuters. In past many people described rongpa community is an part of Tibetan. But the truth lies in its own significant history, tradition and customs. According to Late sh. Hayat Singh Pal who shared his life experience with us, "The peoples of this valleys are Suryavansi, Chandravansi, Rajputs and Thakurs as described thosands of times in ancient margins. [Rongpa sanskriti apane aap main ekdam alag hai, Iska kisi aur sanskriti ke saath tukmilan karna galat hoga kyonki, chahe aap iski veshbhusa, khan-pan, ya phir rahan sahen ho dekhein].Several writers, philosophers and history writers interconnected this culture in a same category. But apart from this Tibetans are known as chaungpa, and the word bhot  is also connected with Tibetan culture, which exists as people who are living in high altitude, or border areas. Rahul Shankratayan describes in the story of the gathering of Pandavas in these valleys which led them to heaven "Satopanth Yatra".All these peoples, were united by real bonds and concerned in interests common to all.This community may be summed up in the terms Hindus, who have succeeded by means of peaceful penetration.The great Lords Vishnu and Shiva are recognized and worshipped more or less in all the parts of these valleys. Niti and Mana are smack in the border  of the Himalayas, with Tibet in the North; the plains of Western Uttarakhand in the South and Kumaon in the East. Historically, it has been described in the ancient text of Kedarkhand to extend from Gangadwar (modern day Haridwar)  in the South to the high mountains in the North, and from the Tamsa (Tons) river in the in the West to Buddhachal (probably the Nanda Devi group of peaks between Garhwal and Kumaon) in the East. The history of Rongpaz is older  than that of the Ramayan /and Mahabharata. It is a land of popular  myths, like that of  Lord Shiva appearing as Kirat, of Urvashi, Shakuntala and the Kauravas and Pandavas. Worship of Lord Shiva is pre-dominant in this region. In earliest times, Mana was known as Manibhadrapram, since it was surrounded on all sides by mountains. King Kanakpal came to Garhwal from Rajasthan (Gujardesh) of the region Bagarh and the business with Tibet brought their  language, therefore rongpaz, Garhwali and Bagerhi language, written and spoken, are very similar to each other. After 1962 there was changed in the scenario, the Tibet business was stopped. The Rongpa community is accumulated under Schedule Tribe in Indian Constitution.
