Gyan Udas was born on Mangsir 24, 2000 BS
(1943 AD) in Chainpur, Sankhuwasabha, Koshi. His childhood was molded in the
settings of this quiet nook of Nepal. Udas did his education up to a Bachelor's
degree, thereby building a groundwork for his future literary pursuits. Though
he opted to venture into private business, his real love remained invariably
with the field of literature.
Literary Journey
Gyan Udas's literary journey started in
2018 BS when his first poem, "Uday," was published. And after that,
there has been no looking back. Right from the early days, he is getting a good
response from the readers and continued to impress them with his distinctive
voice and perspective.
Over these years, Udas has come up with
several poetry collections. They are:
"Kunbes" (2019 BS) - Growth can
be seen here both in style and theme.
"Hami Bas Parkhirahechaun" (2028
BS) - This is another major work from this poet, who continues to busy himself
with the poetic genre.
Along with his own poems, Udas has enriched
Nepali literature through the following works of editing and translation:
"Hastakshar" (2049 BS) -
Collection of signatures by renowned litterateurs and artists.
"Pahaad" - A monthly literary
magazine he edited.
"Naya Khabar Kagaj" - A weekly
publication he also edited.
Scores of poems, stories, and articles
published in different newspapers and magazines.
Awards and Honors
Udasa's works and contribution to Nepali
literature have not gone unappreciated. In 2024 BS, he was awarded the Gold
Medal by the Nepali Literary Institution for his outstanding contribution to
poetry. He has also been bestowed with many other awards which include:
Kedar Man Vyathit Rashtriya Pratibha
Puraskar 2057 BS
Mahakavi Devkota Shatabdi Samman 2066 BS
Bhanu Bhakta Purashkar 2071 BS
Basu Shashi Sahitya Samman 2075 BS
Literary Philosophy and Style
Ud'as is known for his commitment to poetry
and he has a strong belief in the transformational power of literature. In all,
he has been involved actively with the publication "Naya Khabar
Kagaj" for more than 38 years, considering this as his companion and also
a means for literary involvement. Much of his poetry is deep, with lots of
introspection; it reflects on both personal experiences and wider observations.
Even with the progressivist leaning of the
publishing circles in literature, Udas still infuses his work with traditional
attributes. He is stern about the poetry art and does not think highly of the
existing literary politics. He also expresses concern as far as superficiality
in the literary awards and recognition are concerned.
Recent Works and Projects
Udās has continued to work on new projects,
including two forthcoming books. He is currently more concerned with a volume
of poetry and a book on his contribution to literature. His commitment to these
works shows that Udās indeed believes literature is a lifelong process, rather
than an exercise in winning prizes.
Personal Life
Kathmandu resident, Gyan Udas lives
together with his wife Prema Udas Shrestha and children, namely Pragnya,
Vijaya, Bhava, and Junu. His personal life flows into his literature and he
finds solace and inspiration both in his family and the peaceful surroundings
of Sankhuwasabha.
Challenges and Reflections
Udas has been questioning the present
political scenario and its consequences on literature and the arts during recent
years. He is saddened by the fact that there is no real promotion in the
development of literature but instead it has increased in popularity, the
literary work through politics. Even after all these challenges, Udas looks
ahead to a better future of Nepali literature and thus believes will keep on
being enriched by the forthcoming generations of poets and writers.
Legacy
Gyan Udas is not only a poet but has grown
into the embodiment of unity in pursuance for a commitment to literature. His
works, editing, even musings on the path Nepali literature is taking, easily
make him an important figure among his peers in the literary arena. His legacy
is sealed with consistency to the craft and faith in the eternal power of
poetry to stir the soul and activate societal change.
समयसानो हातमा घडी ठूलो हातमा घडी समयको ज्ञान दिने सबैको हातमा घडी । सानो होस् ठूलो होस् घडीभित्र सूई घुम्छ सेकेन्ड अनि मिनेट हुँदै अर्कोले घण्टाको सङ्केत दिन्छ । साठी सेकेन्डको एक मिनेट साठी मिनेटको एक घण्टा यसरी नै उड्दै जान्छ हाम्रो जीवन-चङ्गा । चौबीस घण्टाको एकदिन सात दिनको एक हप्ता जानी राखौँ बुझि राखौँ नत्र पछि परिन्छ मित्र । तीस दिनको एक महिना बाह्र महिनाको एक वर्ष जीवन छँदै बाँड्न सिकौँ हाम्रो दुःख र हाम्रो हर्ष । त्यसैले सम्झ भाइबहिनी समय त्यसै पाइँदैन आजको काम भोलि नभनौँ बगेको खोला र्फकँदैन । |
