Laininghan Naoria Phulo (born 28 August 1888) was a Meitei religious leader and the founder of Apokpa Marup. The objectives of Apokpa Marup are to spread and propagate the Apokpa Laining, a traditional cult and faith with renovation in rituals and religious functions.[5] According to Meitei doctrines, he was regarded as a prophet who was born to preserve and revive the suppressed ancient paganism of the Meitei ethnicity. He is seen as an example for all Meiteis to follow. Blessed by the divine grace of Apokpa Mapu, he discovered Meetei Yelhou Mayek after a long seven-year search with full concentration and determination, free from the carnal desire of family life. The source of inspiration for the search is that his pensive mind could not compromise with the idea that the Meetei had no written character of their own language. He introduced Meetei Yelhou Mayek to the front premises of his house in 1931.[6] He also left Sakok Thiren, the Meetei holy scripture, the philosophical doctrine behind creation and the being, with reference to the origin of the Meeteis. It is also known as “Hourakpa Puyaa.” [7] Still today, people celebrate his birthday in the month of Thawan, according to Meitei calendar, both in Assam and Manipur. [8]
