He is known as Mahaguru (the great teacher), especially among the Limbu, Rai, Sunuwar, Yakhkha, Lohorung, Dhimal, and Jurel Kirat people.

He is credited with the continuation of the ancient Kirat religion on puritan principles, which include vegetarianism, a ban on alcohol, and following Limbu traditions and scripts.

His main messages included calling for a ban on animal sacrifice, since it raised social expenditures on celebrations such as births, weddings, and funerals.

He also called for the elimination of social orthodoxies and supported running a school for children, especially through their mother tongue.

He believed that education brought knowledge to wash one's heart clean, which he considered was the only key to emancipation.
