The Gyalsey: The future of Bhutan


Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuck is the son of Desi Jigme Namgyal. He laid the foundation of Wangchuck Dynasty on 17th, December 1907 after bulldozing the last chanced battles that culminated at Changlimethang to the ashes. He was best known for his muscular strength, courage and intellectual ability from his early age while he was serving at his father's office.  

We came long way through thick and thin journey lead by our visionary Monarchs without much external threats so far. Till today we can proudly stand to say that we have our own land and our own national identity. Had it been the other ruler, Bhutan would have been different. The royal focused would have been for –GDP over GNH.

Bhutan has made yet another bigger milestone on 5th, February 2016 with the birth of our Royal Prince (to be the sixth King of Bhutan), Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck at Lingkana Palace. 

On February 9, the lunar New Year (losar) for Bhutanese, His Majesty have announced that the Royal Prince is the son of every Bhutanese, and he would be the true son of Pelden Drukpa. The big surprise came when His Majesty have assured that he would be brought up in a Bhutanese way. He would be well trained to serve the future of Bhutan by King himself. When he turn 6, he would go to school along with other children, and it is the moment of joy and happiness for all of us. 

5th, February of 2016 have become more than just a date on Bhutanese calendar. The future of Bhutan was made. 

While on his Royal outing he made several –home and abroad high headlines. Nevertheless, our Royal Prince, the Gyalsey is the most loved and admired child in the entire kingdom. He is not only the most popular child in Bhutan but also around the world.

I feel so lucky in many ways to be born in a very spiritual country ruled by our visionary kings, and I would love to happily work under our Gyalsey somewhere someday. I also would love to grow old along with our Royal Prince, the Gyalsey. 

Like your 3x great–grandfather, may you become bold, courageous and intelligent to lead nation towards more secure, stronger and vibrant country. Like your father, the Great Fifth may you become tall and handsome.  

May your dream always come true? May you always live happy? May you always live long? May you always remain healthy? May you always shine like a diamond? May your wishes come true? May you always protect us? May you always remain forever young?

Long live their majesties, long live HRH, the Gyalsey!

Golden Words Of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

King Jigme Singye Wangchuck "...in particular, speaking for myself; my sorrow in having lost my own father is indeed very great. What is more the country has lost a king whose kind has till now never been known..."                                                                ( Royal proclamation to the people of Bhutan, July 26, 1972)                                      "...as far as you, my people, are concerned, you should not adopt the attitude that whatever is required to be done for your welfare will be done entirely by the government. On the contrary, a little effort on your part will be much more effective than a great deal of eff...

The Story of Malika Chand.

There lived a schoolteacher named Malika Chand. She loved teaching and treated her students as she would, her own children. Nurturing their potential with great kindness. Her perennial motto was, 'Your,  I can is more important than your,  IQ .' She was known throughout her community as a person who lived to give. Who selflessly served anyone in need? Sadly, her beloved school, which had stood as a silent witness to the delightful progress of generations of children, succumbed to the flames of a fire set by an arsonist one night. All those in the community felt this great loss. But as time passed by, their anger gave way to apathy and they resigned themselves to the fact that their children would be without a school. "What about Malika?"   "She was different, an eternal optimist if there ever was one. Unlike everyone around her, she perceived opportunity in what had happened. She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...
