Taplejung. The 142nd birth anniversary of Mahaguru Falgunanda Lingden, a social reformer and national luminary of Kirat religion, was celebrated with great fanfare in Taplejung by organizing various programs. <\/p>\n
On the occasion of the completion of 141 years and entering the 142nd year, various programs were organized in Fungling, the headquarters of Taplejung, on November 9. <\/p>\n
World Peace and Harmony Rally was taken out at Manghim in Fungling on Thursday. The rally reached Tokmeda and garlanded the statue of Mahaguru Phalgunanda. This was followed by greetings exchange and Chyabrung dance, according to Saroj Kangliwa, secretary of Kirat Yakthung Chumlung. <\/p>\n
On the occasion, former minister of Koshi Province Khagen Singh Hangam and Deputy Mayor of Fungling Municipality Bhima Devi Ojha said that the path shown by Mahaguru Phalgunanda had made a significant contribution to social change. They also expressed their best wishes on the occasion of his birth anniversary. On Baisakh 24, 1988, Mahaguru Phalgunanda gathered the then Limbuwan’s dignitaries, Subangis, businessmen and intellectuals at Labrekuti of Panchthar for social reform. <\/p>\n
Mahaguru, who was dedicated to the social reform campaign, was arrested by the then state during his lifetime, accusing him of being a traitor, traitor and trying to become the king of former Limbuwan. However, 61 years after his death, on November 1, 2006, the Government of Nepal honored him as a national luminary. <\/p>\n
Every year, the birth anniversary is celebrated on November 9, the memorial day on April 5 and the Social Reform Day on May 6. Phalgunanda passed away on April 6, 2005 at the age of 63. <\/p>\n
