Writer from Sikkim Creates Open-Access Archive of Himalayan Philosophies and Cultural Memory

Geyzing, West Sikkim, India - 4 January 2026 - A growing collection of long-form written work documenting spiritual ideas and cultural histories from the Himalayan region is now available to the public through an independent digital platform maintained by Labun Hang Limboo, a writer and content creator based in West Sikkim.

The project focuses on narratives that have traditionally been shared through oral transmission, personal testimony, and community practice rather than formal publication. Limboo's work provides written accounts of these stories, bridging the gap between spoken tradition and permanent record.

Central to the collection is the biographical documentation of Master Godangel (https://labunhang.com/master-godangel/), a figure from Nepal whose humanitarian work, animal rights activism, and spiritual teachings have circulated within mountain communities with limited visibility beyond those networks. Limboo's articles explore Master Godangel's early years, his path as a teacher, and the principles that underpin Lovism, a philosophy emphasizing compassion, peaceful coexistence, and ethical living.

"These are stories people tell each other, but rarely write down," Limboo explained. "I'm creating a space where these narratives can exist in written form and reach anyone who's curious about them."

The archive also includes documentation on the Tsong Limboo people (https://labunhang.com/the-tsong-limboo-limbu-communities-of-sikkim/), an ethnic community native to Sikkim. Limboo examines their language, spiritual beliefs, and the ways cultural memory is maintained across generations. Other entries explore how individuals in remote Himalayan areas navigate questions of meaning, identity, and purpose through engagement with indigenous traditions.

Limboo's approach is grounded in observation and proximity to the subjects he documents. His writing reflects years of living near these communities and participating in conversations about belief, culture, and everyday life. The work is presented as cultural documentation, without institutional ties.

A computer science graduate who has worked in digital media since 2014, Labun Hang Limboo also composes music and has releases on major streaming platforms. His writing is characterized by directness and clarity, avoiding jargon while preserving the material's depth.

Raised in Yuksom, a village in West Sikkim, Limboo developed an early interest in documenting oral storytelling and indigenous knowledge systems. The digital platform operates independently and makes all content freely available.

Full access to the archive is available at: https://labunhang.com
