Description
Illustrating the ups and downs that she experienced throughout her life, this book depicts my grandmother as the epitome of Nepalese women who was born and raised during Ranacracy. This book also reveals a pure love between a son and his mother. Never have I seen a son loving his mother like my father loved his mother. Maybe the aroma of that love motivated me to translate the biography of my grandmother that my father wrote. Even though the translation may not give the exact fragrance as the original, the translated version can provide a good sense of understanding of the original to the readers. As English is an international language, translation in English means my grandmother’s life history is not just confined to communities speaking the Nepalese language but can reach English-speaking communities throughout the world. -Kanchanjunga Prasai, Ph.D.

Summary
"My Mother Bhagiratha Prasai" is, indeed, a heart-felt tribute from a son to his mother in an emotionally moving language. The biography is replete with instances of several passages glorifying the image of a loving mother, her role as a social worker, a philanthropist and, above all, a true representative of women in Nepali society with their strengths and weaknesses, and their commitment to abide by established norms, values and ideals. -Prof. Mohan P. Lohani, Ph.D.
