This is an intellectual and spiritual invocation by Dr. Nawa Raj Subba, a researcher, poet, and cultural philosopher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts premise is that misery springs from detaching someone's sām (soul or living essence). The practice of Ūpmā (soul retrieval) in the Limbu cosmogony is a philosophical endeavor beyond a ritual. Informed by oral tradition, metaphysical investigation, and lived experience, this book presents a new model for understanding one's self, one's community, and the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work unfolds in twelve chapters and discusses the ontology, epistemology, ethics, and healing logic of the Sām-Ūpmā system. Dr. Subba grounds this theory in both local and global settings, deftly combining indigenous viewpoints, other philosophies, research, and Mundhum oral stories into modern debates on psychology, spirituality, and decolonization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSām-Ūpmā Mundhum philosophy is not only a theory; it's a necessity to remember ancestral knowledge, holy harmony, and healing by re-establishing our connection with the environment, society, and our inner selves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for academics and seekers as well as cultural intellectuals wishing to wander the boundaries between ancient memory and modern interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 23, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52241616601362,"sku":"9798231328864","price":17.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/3FNaM1l-Oh9798231328864.webp?v=1777903873","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/s-257-m-362-pm-257-mundhum-an-indigenous-philosophy-of-soul-healing-and-decolonizing-thought-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
