Dear Members of our community,
It is with much sorrow and a profound sense of loss that we are informing you of the demise of Mr. Kisendra Shahi. He ceased to breathe while undergoing treatment in Parkland Hospital Dallas and left behind a grieving wife and two young and aching sons. Let us pray for the peaceful journey of Mr. Shahi's soul and let us come together to soothe the family of the deceased in these most difficult of times. Please extend your support to the family of Major Shahi in his funeral services tomorrow.
Mr.Kisendra Shahi (October 10, 1962 – October 29, 2006) was a remarkable man with unparallel achievements. During just 44 years of his life, Mr. Kisendra Shahi had not only set a record in the Guinness book of World record but also saved lives.
Major Shahi was in the Nepal Army and was highly recognized (1995). He had achieved basic pilot training FAA from Fort Worth (1982); and had achieved his Advanced pilot training from French Air Force and Royal UK. He had performed his famed mountain rescue in 1993 and was awarded Gajendra Moksha Padak by Late King Birendra. In 1992 Major Shahi was also decorated with Gorkha Dakshin Bahu. In addition, Major Shahi had saved the then Prime Minister Man Mohan Adhikari with a helicopter rescue in 1995 and was decorated with Kirtimaya Nepal Shreepad for that admirable feat. Mr. Kisendra Shahi is a national hero who wrote Nepal's name in the Guinness Book of World Records for performing a highly improbable rescue and beating technical failure of a helicopter to be the sole pilot who survived himself and saved his crew.
Mr. Kisendra Shahi has left his grieving family but let us not make them feel alone. He let our country known to the world so let us respect his soul in his final rites. Let us extend our condolences and help to his bereft wife Mrs. Bandana Shahi and his two sons. Let us come to the funeral services and pay tribute to our national hero who will be much missed:

Here is a Poem for his brave sole. Rest in Peace

Manish ko jindagi ho ek dina sara
gham Udaucha ani astauncha ek bara,
kehi dina andyaro, kehi dina ujyalo,
Sri kishendra shahi ko jindagi jadhdachu tes ujayala dina haru sanga,
kati ramailo huncha tyo dina, ghama le banaidincha hawa nai manga,
Sanjha pakha dhalkinda pani dincha naya chetna ko euta mitho vabana
Timro atma le sadai santa paosh,
timi gaye ta pani timro jindagi ko Ullekhale malai diyo naya Sash
timiro karma ra Nepali vayeko le malai diyo Ateelo euta Biswash
