Nepali: गोपालप्रसाद रिमाल

His parents were Umakanta Rimal and Aditya Kumari Rimal. His first poem, entitled "Kavi ko Gayan" was published in a monthly magazine, "Sarada".

During Rimal's adolescence, he came under the influence of revolutionaries who were aspiring to overthrow the Rana dynasty. Rimal began his career as a successful poet in 1930 and as a playwright in 1940. In 1941, after the execution of a group of political agitators, including Dashrath Chand, Rimal gathered a group of young poets to protest together by singing hymns, at Pashupatinath Temple in the mornings, and at the shrine of Shobhā Bhagavatī in the evenings.

Rimal founded a creative organization called "Praja Panchayat" to oppose the Rana rulers, and was imprisoned on several occasions for his involvement in the movement. He played a pivotal role in making the 1950–52 Democratic Movement successful, but became disillusioned, and "felt betrayed by the factional strife."

His dreams of a democratic Nepal shattered, Rimal subsequently lost his mental balance and was sent to an asylum in Ranchi. Later, he was brought back to Nepal to spend the rest of his life roaming insane in the streets of Kathmandu. Rimal died in 1973.

छन्दमुक्त कविताको सुरुवात गर्ने यो संग्रहको आमाको कविता संगै “रातो र चन्द्र सूर्जे” र “एक युगमा एक दिन एक चोटि आउंछ” कविता निकै नै चर्चित कविता हुन् । त्यसका अलावा अन्य
केहि राम्रा कविताहरु पनि छन् । केहि भने अनुच्छेद भन्न मिल्ने खालका छन् । एकै बसाईमा पढि सकिन्छ ।
