The Gunlā Dharma ( गुँला धर्म ), celebrate by worshipping at the Swayambhu Māhā Chaitya and other chaityas, monasteries, and courtyards, is a festival of great importance to Buddhists in Nepal. It is also observed by other communities. During this time, devotees circumambulate Swayambhu while reciting songs from traditional Dafa music, specifically dedicated to Lord Buddha, known as "Bhagwān Gwārā." These sacred songs and melodies, sung with reverence, create a religious and peaceful atmosphere by praising Lord Buddha.
Bhagwān Gwārā played using traditional Newāh instruments like Dhā, Khīn, Dhime, flute, and Muhali etc which deepen the spiritual experience of Gunlā Dharma. In this video, you will discover how the "Bhagwān Gwārā" songs and melodies, played to Lord Gautam Buddha, captivate the attention, devotion, and unity of the community.
Gunlā Dharma and "Bhagwān Gwārā" music preserve the cultural heritage of Newah Buddhists, helping to keep our traditions alive. Be sure to watch this video to immerse yourself in the sanctity of Swayambhu and closely experience this invaluable tradition.
