He is married to Sima Das. He has 3 sons, of which the eldest Markus Das works in a recording studio in Pokhara. During, the thick of the civil war in Nepal waged under the Maoist insurgency, Das in early 2000s, released a couple of albums targeting the listeners of the war-stuck nation. Through his music, he asked his listeners to persist their hope, and bolster their perseverance until everyone meets the impending light at the end of the tunnel. To the then bastions of power through his songs, he urged that the struggle of Nepalese was not merely for the radical changes in power structures, but for the grassroot upliftment of people's life and livelihoods. An example is evinced in the song "Thula Thula Mahal" which among others, voices Nepalese preference for tiny huts that imparts vocation and education rather than tall indifferent urban complexes. Other imperatives in the same song includes statements with contrasting negations, such as, "give me a field of crops, over a battlefield; a pen that draws ink, over a sword that draws blood; a pair of hands that gives, over a pair of talkative lips; and a sage that imparts wisdom, over a jogi that begs."
