Mishra said one becomes great by his own wisdom and sacrifice, which Golgi Bote Talom Rukbo also showed in his life. He advocated that Guru Talom Rukbo should be honoured with “Light of Arunachal” title for his spiritual creation. He also observed that the Guru’s creation in Donyi-Poloism shows A to Z theological aspects including congregational prayer, way to worship and guide-path to the believers.
“I heartily honour personality and extra-ordinary creation of Golgi Bote Talom Rukbo in the promotion of the pre-existing tribal faith of Donyi and Polo (Sun and Moon) as supernatural energy for survival of mankind. The Great heart’s creation and path of wisdom may bring religious reform towards indigenous tribal communities of the state, while it will influence the growing youths in moral building”, Mishra observed.
Stating that Guru Talom Rukbo’s creation and religious ideology was accepted by all, the Governor urged the people to instill the ideology among younger generations and inspire them to work for the state’s all round development. He also asked DPYK members to bring their Guru’s idea forward and take step for its protection and promotion.
