My story

My mother said I was born in a barn when she was working. We did not have hospital in the village nor any facility. My parents were farmer with little land in remote part of Nepal, which was not even sufficient for six months food. I was one of their 7 children. I grew with poverty, injustice, discrimination between different caste, gender and economic status. My father told me a story that he had to walk over a month to get groceries   like salt, rice, sugar and kerosene. We did not have highway and transportation, but this was the opportunity for me to learn what the struggle of life is. I learned to survive without anything and I could make my path myself. I got a chance to see light of the electricity and television when I was 13 because most of the villages in my country are yet beyond these things. One day, I saw a guy on TV who was a singer and being interviewed. He was singing in time to time during interview which drew my attention and my mind was giddy that time wondering how that was happening. After that day I wanted to become a singer as well as a TV presenter as I used to sing since my early childhood. When I got 24, I won 4 national Music awards including Album of the year, song of the year, largest selling of the year and best music of the year. Not only this, I also became a TV person presenting super hit TV Show.

Unfortunately after that my beautiful country had to undergo a civil war for a decade which killed 20 thousand people. The war, poverty, injustice, discrimination and insecurity began causing loss of tranquility of the people including me. During the time many young talents were compelled to leave the country. By the time, I also could not be the exceptional case and arrived to Canada in 2006. Being a young guy when I came to Canada alone for the first time, I felt I lost my identity, I lost my path of life, I forgot myself and I felt I am nothing for me and others. I tried so hard to find myself in a big space. I was really tired and few times I felt to commit suicide. Constantly I realized that suicide is not the resolution because 60 Million people commit suicide every year but the problems are as it is. However, slowly I started to rebuild myself and I believed in faith and remembered my mother’s words that peace comes after storm. I tried to find consolation through medical treatment and visited religious places but I did not find complete healing since my problem was emotional. I did not have peace in my mind. Then I went to a ten-day Vipassana meditation course and day by day I learned how to keep peace in mind. After that I knew myself at first and began to respect and love me and others as well. Gradually I changed myself and finally now I am in peace and I live with happiness. I have not achieved my goal yet but I am happy whatever I have now. I am enjoying the present and real life.

Because of my own experience of life and musical experiment, I started doing research about different kinds of music and sound which may help people keep peace and happiness in mind. As a result, I have come to create a musical technique of different kinds of sound from the nature. The Music Mantra is the unique technique and "Music from the Nature". This is also a piece of art that represents our life and nature which may help us to balance our life with the four basic elements (Earth, fire, wind and water) of the universe.
