बरिष्ठ साहित्यकार धुस्वाँ सायमी (गोविन्दबहादुर मानन्धर)को ७९ वर्षको उमेरमा आज बिहान निधन भएको छ। बिहान पौने नौ बजे खाना खान लाग्दा हृदयाघात भएपछि शिक्षण अस्पताल महाराजगन्ज लैजाँदै गर्दा बाटैमा सायमीको निधन भएको थियो। राजा वीरेन्द्रलाई उनले सुनाएको
“ए मेरो राजा,
तिम्रो चारैतिर दासैदास मात्र छन्,
लासैलास मात्र छन्,
के तिम्रो यतिमात्र इच्छा हो,
यी दासहरूको राजा बनिरहने,
यी लासहरूको राजा बनिरहने” कविताले त्यतिबेला दरबारमा सनसनी मच्चाएको थियो ।
उनका तीन दर्जन साहित्यिक कृति प्रकाशित छन् । नेपाली, अंग्रेजी, हिन्दी र नेपाल भाषामा उनका कृतिहरु प्रकाशित छन् । सायमीको गंकी नामक उपन्यास बढी चर्चित रहेको छ। नेपाल भाषामा लेखिएको यो उपन्यास विभिन्न आठ वटा भाषामा प्रकाशित भएको थियो । गंकीसँगै गोमा, वैशाख २०६३ उहाँका अन्य कृतिहरु हुन् । सायमीका करीब २० हजार कविताहरु रहेका छन् । सायमीलाई नेपाल भाषाका उपन्यासका सम्राटका रुपमा चिनिन्थ्यो । नेपाल भाषामा उपन्यास लेख्ने उनी नै प्रथम थिए । केही वर्षअघि उनले ‘गंकी बसुन्धरा प्रतिष्ठान’ स्थापना गरेका थिए। प्रतिष्ठानले हरेक वर्षआख्यान लेखकलाई सम्मान गर्दै आएको छ । सायमीका पत्नी, चार छोरा र एक छोरी छन् । उनको भोलि अन्तिम संस्कार गरिनेछ।
नेपाली साहित्यमा पहिलोपटक नेपालभाषाको उपन्यास ‘मिसा’ (नारी) मार्फत् अस्तित्ववाद भित्र्याउने श्रेय उनलाई नै जान्छ ।
भारतकी प्रसिद्ध लेखिका अमृता प्रीतमले सायमीलाई नायक बनाएर ‘अदालत ‘शीर्षक उपन्याससमेत लेखेकी थिइन् ।
आफूलाई धुलोको फूलको रूपमा चिनाउन चाहने गोविन्दबहादुर मानन्धरले साहित्यमा आफूलाई धुस्वाँ सायमी भनी उपनाम दिएका थिए।
गङ्की वसुन्धरा प्रतिष्ठानका संस्थापक सायमीले दानमाया- प्रतिभा, दीपा- जनमत र धुस्वां सायमी सिर्जनशील पुरस्कार पनि स्थापना गर्नु भएको थियो । उनले लामो समयसम्म प्राध्यापन तथा भारतमा नेपालको सांस्कृतिक सहचारी भई काम गरेका थिए।
उनी तत्कालीन नेपाल राजकीय प्रज्ञाप्रतिष्ठानका प्राज्ञपरिषद् सदस्य पनि थिए ।
उनकै एउटा कविताका साथ चीर शान्तिको कामना
धुस्वाँ सायमि
संघर्ष
कस्तो संघर्ष हो यो हाम्रो
जहाँ जीत पनि
शंकाको सुविधामा मुर्झाउँछ ।
सम्झौता भएर पनि
कहलिन्न सम्झौता यो
सम्झौता नै होइन यो
केही भन्न पनि सकिँदैन ।
त्यतिबेला
लाग्नथाल्छ हाम्रो संघर्ष
सम्झौता
सम्पुर्ण केबल एक सुविधा हो
आफैँलाई एउटा सुरक्षा दिन ।
लक्ष्य नै
नभएर पनि अन्त्यहीन/अर्थहीन
विरोधाभाषले भरिपुर्ण
एउटा अधुरो स्वीकृति
समर्पणको
भइदिन्छ/बनिदिन्छ ।
Govinddai (Dhuswan sayami) was a great writer of his time. He rise to the post of the Member of the then Royal Nepal Academy even in the Panchayat days only because of his undias pen and his writtings.
I pray to almighty God to give eternal peace to his soul.
Dhuswan was lonely during his last days.Though his adapted daughter Sunita Lama tried to make up his life as much as possible, he felt academically so lonely. I was one of his academic friend during his last days though we looked like grandfather-grandson. We used to share books. He was a good reader, too. He ordered apne apne ajnabi, from New Delhi, a much more praised Indian novel by Agyeya when I was in search of it. I had chance to have read many rare books by Dhoomil, Uday Prakash and so on. Yes I also provided him poems by Langston Hughes, Nazim Hikmat, Brecht, Whitman. When he was touched by Langston, he ordered all the collected poems by him.
Nepali writers should learn reading culture from him. Now he is no more. Everything except his works is no more.

We must learn from people like him.
Here is the lesson.
“A son and his father were walking on the mountains.
Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: “AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: “AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
Curious, he yells: “Who are you?”
He receives the answer: “Who are you?”
And then he screams to the mountain: “I admire you!”
The voice answers: “I admire you!”
Angered at the response, he screams: “Coward!”
He receives the answer: “Coward!”
He looks to his father and asks: “What’s going on?”
The father smiles and says: “My son, pay attention.”
Again the man screams: “You are a champion!”
The voice answers: “You are a champion!”
The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
Then the father explains: “People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.
It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;
Life will give you back everything you have given to it.”
YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT’S A REFLECTION OF YOU!”
