Following Madan Engti Hansek’s ideals, Lokhimon Sangha has been working relentlessly for spiritual and moral uplift of the Karbi community through its worship centres and ashrams, Sarma said while attending Rat Chingrum Amai-2021 (a religious solidarity meet) at Lokhimon Sangha Ashram at Dolamara, Karbi Anglong on Tuesday.

Stating that tribals have shown how humans can coexist close to nature, he said that Lakhan Ingti Hansek, the founder of the religious sect of Lokhimon Dharma, had taught the people to be clean and hygienic.
He taught the Karbi people to respect their parents and grandparents and if one follows his teachings there would always be peace.
He also announced that the state government would extend all possible help in construction of a Lokhimon religion temple at the hill over there.
