Krishna Bhattarai Obituary
Bhattarai's physician, Dr. Bharat Rawat, told reporters that he died in the capital, Katmandu, at midnight Friday due to multiple organ failure. He had suffered mainly from kidney problems.
Bhattarai was admitted to a hospital in Katmandu last month with multiple health complaints.
He served as prime minister of the Himalayan nation twice — first in 1990 and again in 1999.
After multiparty democracy was restored in 1990, Bhattarai was appointed prime minister of an interim government comprising representatives from his Nepali Congress party and several communist parties.
During his nine months in power, he conducted Nepal's first free elections in 30 years and enforced a new constitution that guaranteed democratic rights in the country.
In 1999, he again became prime minister after the Nepali Congress party won elections. However, feuds in the faction-ridden party forced him to step down after nine months in power.
As prime minister, Bhattarai made official visits to India, Japan and the United Kingdom, and led the Nepalese delegation to the meeting of the South Asian Regional Cooperation in 1991 in the Maldives.
His strict anti-corruption drive gave him the image of a clean politician. His anti-nepotism stand also helped him gain popularity among the public.
Bhattarai spent nearly 14 years in prison for opposing the autocratic system imposed in the country in 1960.
The government has declared a period of national mourning. Bhattarai's body will be cremated Sunday in Katmandu.

Know that he inspired a young boy, a world away from his home, with his graceful touch and kind parting words, "Try not to be a great man, but be sure to be a good one". His legacy lives within me. Thank-you.

The precious memories of KRISHNA PRASAD BHATTARAI will bring you comfort. However, even in the face of calamity you can have hope. God will comfort and bless you at this critical time. Do not let your heaets be troubled. (John 14:27). Complete reliance on "the God of all comfort" will help to endure his bereavement (2Cor.1:3,4).

Sorry for your loss. Many questions come to mind when someone died. The Scriptures answer them and also give us hope, He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will sickness nor suffering nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said; "Look! I am making ALL THINGS NEW........."

Clearly, I did not know Mr Bhattarai personally. However in reading his obituary, what a wonderful man!! He gave of himself, his life for his country and the people in it. I am just an old American cowgirl, but I believe I will adopt this man and place him in my personal book of personal heros. God bless you, his family, and know that you are loved. :) sincerely, fran smith, arizona, usa

It is moments like this that makes me look forward to the fulfillment of the scripture at Rev Chapter 21-verses 3 thru 5. In the meanwhile may all the friends-family-and supporters of the Beloved Mr Bhattarai find comfort in all the memories of his life and works.
