Tejnath Sharma Ghimire, aka ‘Nepali Baba’, a famous spiritual guru passed away on Monday night. He was 69.

Baba had been suffering from ortho-related problems for the past two years. He breathed his last at Satungal-based ashram. He had survived only on tea and water for the past 45 years. A nine-storey shelter along with Bindhyabasini Temple is under construction at 33 ropanis of land under the leadership of Ghimire, in Satungal. 

He had organised a religious function (Mahayajna) for a month as per Vedic rituals, wishing and praying for world peace at Bindhyabasini before 2043 BS during the time of the cold war in the world. 

Former Chairperson of Bindhyabasini Meditation Association, Keshav Prasad Chaulagain, told Rastriya Samachar Samiti that the Nepali Baba had significant contribution in World Peace Campaign.

‘Nepali Baba’ also travelled on foot from Muktinath, a famous pilgrimage site in the Himalayan district of Mustang, to Kanyakumari in the southernmost part of India in 2048 BS and also returned from there.

His last rites were performed at Pashupati Aryaghat this morning. He is survived by wife, two sons and a daughter.
