Sagarmatha Zone
Sagarmāthā () was one of the fourteen zones of Nepal until the restructuring of zones into provinces. "Sagarmāthā" is a Nepali word derived from सगर् (sagar) meaning "sky" and माथा (māthā) meaning "head".
Bhagavad Gita
Years later he would explain that another verse had also entered his head at that time:
Ralph Waldo Emerson, remarked the following after his first study of the "Gita", and thereafter frequently quoted the text in his journals and letters, particularly the "work with inner renunciation" idea in his writings on man's quest for spiritual energy:
The "Gita" presents its teaching in the context of a war where the warrior Arjuna is in inner crisis about whether he should renounce and abandon the battlefield, or fight and kill. He is advised by Krishna to do his "sva-dharma", a term that has been variously interpreted. According to the Indologist Paul Hacker, the contextual meaning in the "Gita" is the "dharma of a particular varna". Neo-Hindus such as Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, states Hacker, have preferred to not translate it in those terms, or "dharma" as religion, but leave "Gita's" message as "everyone must follow his "sva-dharma"". According to Chatterjee, the Hindus already understand the meaning of that term. To render it in English for non-Hindus for its better understanding, one must ask "what is the sva-dharma for the non-Hindus"? The Lord, states Chatterjee, created millions and millions of people, and he did not ordain "dharma" only for Indians [Hindus] and "make all the others dharma-less", for "are not the non-Hindus also his children"? According to Chatterjee, the Krishna's religion of "Gita" is "not so narrow-minded". This argument, states Hacker, is an attempt to "universalize Hinduism".
