The book Jiwanta Sambandha by Dr Om Murti Anil has resonated with readers across Nepal and beyond, but at its heart, it is a tribute to a father. This article is written on the second death anniversary of the author’s father, Tej Narayan Singh, a man of tradition and simplicity who dedicated his life to his family and community. Singh was a respected social worker and a prominent figure in Dhamaura village, Mahottari district. He made lasting contributions to his community, particularly in education and agriculture. Despite being educated, he chose to remain in the village, working the land himself. Often seen in his simple dhoti-kurta, he was deeply connected to the soil and the rural life around him
Singh faced the daily challenges of farming but always dreamed of a better future for his children, especially his youngest son, Om Murti Anil, who later became a renowned cardiologist in the country. Knowing that education was the key to that future, he kept his son close and shared all the knowledge he had gained from life. As a social worker, Singh founded Dhamaura Higher Secondary School, an institution that continues to support the underprivileged community in Mahottari district. More than just academic lessons, he taught his son basic values—honesty, kindness, and respect for others.
While many parents focus solely on academic success, Singh emphasized a more well-rounded education. He taught his son about spirituality, relationships, finances, social responsibility, and even sports. He made sure Om Murti was aware of current events, science, and recent advancements, setting a strong example so his son could learn the importance of hard work, humility, and ambition. Singh wanted not only for Om Murti to excel academically but also to become a good person with strong moral values. He lived by high standards, which his son naturally adopted, learning to aim high while leading with kindness and understanding.
