Muna Madan (Nepali) Published In Mirror Language
Muna Madan (Nepali)
Muna Madan, the immortal creation of Nepali poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota, holds a special place in South Asian literature. Written in 1936, it is a poetic masterpiece that portrays the deep emotions of love, sacrifice, human struggle, and the value of compassion. The story of Madan, who travels to Lhasa in search of livelihood, leaving behind his beloved wife Muna, touches the heart of every reader with its universal themes of separation, hardship, and the realization of humanity above wealth.
Carrying this timeless literary treasure into an entirely new dimension, Dr. Uttam Das recreated Muna Madan in his globally recognized Mirror Language. Mirror Language is a unique method of writing and reading in reverse, where the script becomes legible only when viewed in a mirror. This artistic calligraphy, invented by Dr. Das, has already brought him international acclaim and recognition in multiple world record forums.
By transcribing Muna Madan in Mirror Language, Dr. Das not only honored Nepali literature but also conveyed a powerful message: that art and language transcend borders. Just as Devkota emphasized humanity over material wealth, Dr. Das emphasized unity over linguistic and cultural divides. Presenting this Nepali classic in an entirely new form highlights his vision of equality among languages and religions, and his belief that literature in any tongue deserves equal reverence.
The Mirror Language version of Muna Madan is more than a literary tribute—it is a bridge between cultures. It demonstrates how creative innovation can revive classical literature for new generations, while also showcasing the intellectual beauty of Nepali heritage to the world. Through this work, Dr. Uttam Das once again proved that his invention is not merely an art form but also a universal medium for spreading harmony and human values.
