नेपालको सुदूरपूर्वी जिल्ला इलामको नामसालिङ्ग निवासी पं.श्री मुक्तिनाथ र यशोदा रिमालको पुत्ररत्न श्रीयोगिराज स्वामीजी वि. सं १९२५ भाद्र कृष्ण दशमी तिथि आर्द्रा नक्षत्र आइतबारका दिन अवतरित हुनु भएको थियो। वाल्यकालमा श्रीस्वामीजी काशिनाथ नामले परिचित सुशील एवं सर्वलक्षण सम्पन्न हुनुहुन्थ्यो। आठ वर्षको उमेरमा व्रतबन्ध (उपनयन संस्कार) सम्पन्न गरी पिताजी स्वयंले वेद अध्यापन गराउनु भयो। केही बर्षसम्म घरमै शुक्लयजुर्वेदको गहन अध्ययन गरी संस्कृत व्याकरण आदि विशेष ग्रन्थको अध्ययनार्थ भोजपुर दिङ्लामा बालागुरु षडानन्दज्यूद्वारा स्थापित संस्कृत पाठशालामा अध्ययन प्रारम्भ गर्नु भयो। आबालब्रह्मचारी षडानन्द गुरुज्यूबाट संस्कृत व्याकरण, तर्कशास्त्र, नीतिशास्त्र, प्रारम्भिक योग, धर्मशास्त्र, एवं तपस्या साधना आदि विभिन्न विषयमा अभिरुचिपूर्वक अध्ययन गर्नु भयो। बालागुरुज्यूबाट नै संपूर्ण कर्मकाण्ड र उच्चशिक्षाको आधारस्तम्भ समेत पुरा गरेर उत्तर भारतको अयोध्यामा वेदान्त दर्शनको अध्ययनमा दत्तचित्त हुनुभयो। त्यसपछि श्रीमद्भागवत महापुराण पौराणिक सद्ग्रन्थहरूको अध्ययन गर्न वृन्दावनतर्फ सवारी हुनुभयो। वृन्दावनमा केही बर्षको अध्ययन पछि समय-समयमा गृहग्राम नामसालिङ आएर कर्म, ज्ञान, भक्ति, वैराग्य एवं आत्मा र परमात्माका विषयमा प्रवचन गरेर आफन्त र छिमेकी सबैको हृदयमा आध्यात्मिक ज्ञानको उज्यालो छर्नुभयो । त्यसपछि अध्ययन, तीर्थाटन र योगसाधनालाई पनि साथसाथै अभ्यास गर्दै श्रीस्वामीजी एक योगनिष्ठ महात्माको रूपमा सुपरिचित हुनुभयो। श्रीस्वामीजी आकर्षक सुन्दर श्रीविग्रह र तेजिलो मुखाकृति एवं स्फटिक धौतवस्त्रादिले सुशोभित हुनुहुन्थ्यो। नियमित योगाभ्यास गर्नुहुने श्रीस्वामीजीको श्रीविग्रह जीवन भरी नै प्रायः एकैनासको एवं ब्रह्मतेजले परिपूर्ण कान्तियुक्त थियो। श्रीस्वामीजी सुशील, मिलनसार,सहयोगी, सामाजिक एवं गहनतम आध्यात्मिक भावनाले परिपूर्ण हुनुहुन्थ्यो। अतिविशिष्ट आध्यात्मिक जीवन चरित्रका धनी श्रीस्वामीजी सांसारिक मोहबन्धन र माया-ममताबाट विरक्त हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।

SHREE MATEY RAMANUJAYE NAMAH
My name is Gopi Dhital.I was born in 1978 in the Dagana District of southern Bhutan. I grew up there until 15 years old and left the country because of political instabilities and racial discrimination specially to southern Bhutanese by the government of Bhutan. Upon arrival in Nepal in mid 1993 experienced life’s most hardship and bitterness. The unbelievable but bitter truth is that I started my first schooling in Grade 3 learning the lowercase alphabet. After a year, moved to Beldangi II where life was a bit better in comparison. With hard and continued struggle in my studies, I was able to get through Grade 8 at Pancha Oti English School (PES) through the Bhutanese Refugee Education Programme conducted by CARITAS Nepal with UNHCR Funding. Surprisingly I was able to get through my School Leaving Certificate Exam(SLC) from Tri-Ranta Secondary School In 2000. Immediately after that, I started my intermediate +2 level studies in the faculty of commerce at Global Educational Academy Damak affiliated with the Higher Secondary Education Board in 2002.
On 2nd August 2002, I was appointed as a Teacher in Pancha Oti English School where I rendered service a kind of volunteer service as there was an initial incentive of Rs.934 per month. While teaching in PES, I joined my BBS(Bachelor of Business Studies) from Mahendra Morang Campus Biratnager affiliated with Tribhuvan University as a distance education. Meanwhile, I tied the wedding knot with Hari Maya Ghimire in 2004 and had a baby son Balan in 2006. I left PES in 2008 and started teaching at Red Rose Academy in Maidhar for four years. I along with my family left Beldangi for resettlement on 6th July 2012 and landed in
Columbus Ohio USA on 12th July 2012. Soon after arrival, a baby daughter Bala was born in 2013. Unfortunately, I couldn’t continue my studies here in the USA but luckily I was able to buy a house in 2015 and acquired citizenship of the United States of America in 2018. In 2018 itself when Shree Vaishnav Parishad America bought a property in Reynoldsburg to establish Laxmi Narayan Mandir I got an opportunity to do volunteer service as a coordinator of a Volunteer Service Group (Mandir Manchalan Samiti) In early 2020 Shree Vaishnav Parishad America board upgraded me as an Asst. Treasurer of the Board and I have been rendering volunteer service since then. Rendering volunteering services, especially in the religion and spiritual field, Spending time with Vaishnav circles, Chanting Holy books and pilgrimage, and so on are the things I would like to do this time.
Finally, I am thankful to my Acharya whom I received Shree Vaishnav Dikchhya, and all Vaishnav circles compatible with whom I could able to change myself to a little bit spiritual. Also, I never stay idle unless I bow down to Aaradhya Dev Shree Laxminarayan Bhagawan for His grace and goodness toward me.
