Bhanu Bhakta Acharya

Dipsika Bhandari
Sydney Australia

From sacred texts, he did translate,
Bringing enlightenment to Nepalese fate.
From the Ramayana to the Bhakta Mala.
His Nepali renditions, a cultural clarion call.
A champion of the Nepali cause,
He is one who is highly adored
His work, much sweeter than a candy bar
Bhanu Bhakta Acharya, Nepal’s literary star.

Bhanu Bhakta, the trailblazer,
Nepali pride, the poet’s razer.
Awakening the spirit, standing tall.
He is one who we call
An influential figure
A rebel, an innovator, a literary maverick,
Empowering the common tongue, his life’s crusade,
Breaking through the shackles of linguistic blockade.
His poems, a mirror to the Nepali soul,
Weaving tales of the mountains, his words extol.
A visionary, ahead of his time,
Bhanu Bhakta, the poet, the reformer sublime.

Hear the roar of Bhanu Bhakta’s verse,
Nepali pride, his words to disperse.
Hail the poet who shattered the mold,
Bhanu Bhakta, the voice that could not be controlled.
In the shadows of Sanskrit, he did arise,
Elevating the Nepali tongue, with his pride.
A beacon of hope, a literary titan,
Bhanu Bhakta, Nepal’s poetic guardian.
Defying the elites, their scorn and disdain
He paved the way for our language to reign
