"Gopal Parajuli, celebrated Nepali poet, dramatist and the winner of the 2004 Madan Puruskar (the highest literary award in Nepal) for his poetic text ‘Naya Ishwor Ko Ghoshana’ (Declaration of a New God), is a simple, honest, down-to-earth person, making a strong impact upon those who have the opportunity to get to know him. Vegetarian and teetotaler, one of the top boxers at national level for his weight in his heyday and selected for the post of Second Lieutenant in the Nepalese army in his 20s, Parajuli is currently the editor of ‘Garima’, Nepal’s foremost literary magazine. A man of simple tastes, Parajuli likes to walk long distances in the city of Kathmandu.
When he wields a pen, however, he becomes a changed man. He speaks with the voice of a prophet, and the words he sets upon the page breath fire. In ‘Naya Ishwor ko Ghoshana’, his most celebrated text so far, Gopalji speaks both like a warrior and a poet. Although the poetic personas that he creates in the text, Krishna Prasad and Vishnu Prasad generally speak like simple, down-to-earth common people, they also assume the tone of spiritual warriors fighting a perpetual battle against the forces of darkness..." —Sanjeev Uprety, Ph.D.
"Gopal Parajuli is a poet extra-ordinary, who composes ambrosial messages as though they were transmitted via God. His soul evokes true purpose of vitality... he as the ability to transform words on paper into the ethers of universal magic... Formations of true meaning out of the emptiness of humanities follies."—Michael Levy

"The world goes on creating new things. Literature is a creation, not a theory. The law of nature is that things change, thus new things come about. To neglect the novelty and potential of creation is to go against its absolute nature. In literature a writer rides on his experiments in thought, subject, language, style and so on and each one of my creations, I prefer to experiment with these aspects too." —Gopal Parajuli
