Yakthung Mundhumlore – Sandhya Subba Singzango

Yakthung Mundhumlore’ is a deep rooted research based collection of twenty folktales extracted, compiled, and edited from the great legacy of Yakthung Mundhum, which is oral narratives passed down from generations to generations, responsibly preserved by Tumyahang and Limbu shamans. Yakthung Mundhum is a wisdom, guide, mines of knowledge, philosophy, way of living, and experience of Limbu ancestors. The stories cover various themes and moral values giving an enlightenment into Yakthung world. There is an urgency to preserve and document the oral narratives and knowledge on the outset of hyper-modernization, deviation from roots and fading away of many elders having indigenous wisdom. This urgency ignited the researcher-author a thought for writing this book as a contribution towards conservation of Limbu community. It can certainly develop among the readers a sense of connection with the roots and Mundhum at large.
