Marking Birth Anniversary Of Pioneer Poet Bhanubhakta Acharya
By KTM Metro Reporter
July 13, 2012: participating in the function held by the Nepali Education Council to mark the 199th birth anniversary of pioneer poet of Nepalese language Bhanubhakta Acharya, Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai offered a garland of flowers to the statue of the poet at the Durbar High School in Kathmandu today. Other poetic luminaries such as Madhav Prasad Ghimire and Rama Sharma put garlands of flowers on the statue of Bhanubhakta, writes state-news agency RSS and nepalnews.com
Pioneer Poet Acharya wrote the Hindu epic Ramayana in the primitive Nepalese language based on the Sanskrit language Ramayana: the great Hindu epic written by Saint Valmeeki. Negatively impressed by the infighting between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law at the night where the poet happened to stay overnight, he wrote ‘Badhu Shikchha’ means lessons for daughter-in-law.
The poet also was famous for his other poem: Kantipuri Nagari written in praise of Kathmandu known as Kantipur at his time. He served in the Rana administration and imprisoned for irregularity in the accounts. His case was not heard for many days and even weeks, so he wrote a poem ‘Bholi Bholi Bhanda Sab Ghar Biteeyeo Baksiyes Aaj Jholi’ means postponing my case for one tomorrow after another I have lost my household; so, let me have freedom to walk out. At his time, the Rana rulers were administrators, judges and high-ranking police and so on all in one.
