"Gopal Yonjan is a music composer, director, lyricist, singer and music arranger, who left us all in May 1997. In his search for excellence, Gopal dedicated his entire life in creating Nepali Music. Though his compositions he illustrates the diversity and beauty of Nepali music with the sensitivity and clarity of a fine painter who touched every stroke with an in-depth understanding of his subject. Gopal's musical genius covered such a wide spectrum that it is not possible to encapsulate the essence of the man in one album. Gopal felt deeply for Nepal and Nepali people.

His songs hold message especially for the youth of Nepal whom he desire to inspire and motivate."
