Poet Gopal Parajuli, who always innovates something new in poetry, has declared the emergence of a new God in his latest work. The agnostics have no need of God. They consider physical world their final reality. They have no trust in any other world, or the rule that is maneuvered from there. Poet Parajuli has directly addressed the metaphysical regime through this epic. Addressing the world that is reluctant to address Krishna as God, he invents Krishna Prasad and declares him his new god. Critics have identified this very style of poet Parajuli as an avant-garde approach that is more recent that postmodernism. It was much earlier that Nietzsche declared the death of God. But poet Parajuli has rejected this declaration, and has announced the emergence of a new god. The god of his faith is not dead. Instead, he has appeared in newer forms. Can’t Krishna Prasad be that new god?
