Question

What was yogmaya's two pronged agenda?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Yogmaya had a two-pronged agenda, not just one", explained Manamaya. "Her first target was the cultural and religious oppression of the time. Her second object was our ruler, the Prime Minister, who along with his generals allowed corruption and inequality to prevail. Our master, Shakti Yogmaya, showed us how these two evils are intertwined, and she feared neither." Yogmaya launched a brilliant and daring political campaign from her base in the hills of East Nepal. It took place during The 1930s, ended in 1940 with her death, along with sixty-eight of her followers who one by one followed her into the thundering current of the Arun River. After leading a campaign for reform and justice, we will die, "she declared ". Juddha Shamsher responded by sending his army to round up the protesters. The tragedy that resulted remains a stain on the government. The Nepalese authorities covered up the episode and banned all mention of her. Her campaign was thoroughly expunged from the nation's historical record and almost lost to its political consciousness. But the powerful verses composed by Yogmaya, the hazurbani, survived. And there lies the story:

I am the child in your lap.

You are the babe in mine;

There is nothing between us, nothing at all.

Your eyes have tears, just like my own.

On the surface, these lines may appear to be politically innocent, they are not. They embody the very principle of equality. They call for parity and mutual respect. They are tender reminders of the sensitivity of all of our common needs, joys, and sufferings. Eventually, Yogmaya's teachings became a comprehensive utopian ideal, linked with a non-violent political strategy she devised to bring it about. It began four decades before the United Nations had sponsored an international convention on women before the current generation of American feminists was born, and even before Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent "Quit India" movement (a campaign to rid India of British occupation) was underway, but Yogmaya's movement went further because it included a call to end injustice against women and girls.

Answer 2

Yogmaya Neupane (Nepali: योगमाया न्यौपाने) (1867–1941) was a religious leader, women's rights activist and poet based in Bhojpur district of Nepal.[1] Yogmaya is considered to be among the pioneer female poets in Nepal with her only published book of poems, the Sarwartha Yogbani [2](In Nepali: सर्वार्थ योगवाणी) considered to be her most notable contribution.

Yogmaya's poems are set around the time when Nepal was ruled by the Rana regime and when India was ruled under the British raj. Her style, characterized by the cultural and political oppression of the time was distinctly original and courageously outspoken. Despite putting a significant focus on the Hindu religious context as a religious leader, her poems and activism themes heavily revolved on female and minority rights in the region, which appealed to a lot of people around the time. In her later years, her activities were heavily monitored by the government and her works were banned by the authorities under the command of the Rana rulers and despite the persecution of her group, she is notable for opting to remain in Nepal and spending her last days around her birthplace in Eastern Nepal. It is also regarded that Yogmaya founded the first organization of Nepali women, the Nari Samiti for women's rights in 1918, which was considered to be the main lobby behind the abolition of the Sati Pratha in Nepal in 1920.[3]
