Bura-Buri Janko/Jya Janko is an ancient ritual celebration, thousands of years old, that honours older adults in the Newar civilization of the petite Hindukush Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal and immigrant Newar communities worldwide. These celebrations preserve the Newar tradition of bonding families and communities by honouring aging as a divine status in Newari spiritual life. There are five levels of Bura Janko celebrations, which gradually elevate the Elder from human to divine status. The fourth and fifth Bura Janko rituals elevate celebrant Elders to full divinity, marking their spiritual journey towards heaven. The five levels of Bura Janko celebrations are as follows:

1. Bhima-Ratha-Rohan was born at 77 years, seven months, seven days, and the seventh hour.

2. Chandra-Ratha-Rohan had seen 1,000 full moon nights.

3. Deva-Ratha-Rohan passed away at the age of 88 years, eight months, eight days, and the eighth hour.

4. Mahadeva-Ratha-Rohan was born at 99 years, nine months, and the ninth day.

5. Maha-Divya-Ratha-Rohan was born at 108 years, eight months, and the eighth day.

We advocate for shedding light on the Bura Janko culture in the global academic arena, highlighting its commitment to the holistic aspect of physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual wellness for Elders on this planet.
