Nyubus are the selection of Almighty, it is god gift. They can not be manufactured. So this is the most pure institution. In the earlier times we never had doctors, these Nyubus were our Doctors, our spiritual guides, our advisor, everything. With the changing times we also need to change, in this also Nyubus showed the way. They played a major role in starting this organised Prayer System of Nyishis , The Nyedar Namlo movement.
Pai Dawe briefly explained about the Guru Tradition. He narrated the importance of
Guru in the history of this nation. Gurupurnima is to commemorate Bhagavan Veda Vyasa’s
Birthday, the one who edited the Vedas. Our Nyubus are also doing the same things,
they are interpreting the age-
Nabam Tata explained about importance of priesthood in Nyishi tradition. He said ‘we can not survive without Nyubu’. They are the one who can relate both the worlds, this world which is perishable and the other world which imperishable, ever existing, the eternal. Guru is the one who shows path to the individual but our Gurus i.e. Nyubu are showing path to the entire community. This tradition should be preserved and carried forward.
Vijay Sonam emphasised on the need of conducting such programmes in a big way in the future to save the institution.

Social misconception!
Madam,
This is regarding Hon’ble HC of Delhi legalizing the homosexuality. Now the matter has been taken to Hon'ble Supreme Court. Through your esteemed media I would like to put forward my views to the public to have a thought over the matter. I have many questions in my mind that I want to put specially to those religious leaders who are opposed to the recent ruling of Delhi HC.
Article 377 IPC deals with unnatural sex (carnal intercourse). So my first question to the religious leaders & also to those who are opposed to the ruling is that whether there is any demarcation line drawn between natural & unnatural sexual act?
Are all sexual acts done by heterosexuals, for instance, oral sex, varieties of poses, etc., natural? Let the answer be yes or no. Are we supposed to bother about what two adults do in the privacy of their bed rooms?
Are these religious leaders empowered to dictate what two adults should do in the privacy of their bedroom? I am afraid, they are not.
Is it correct to say that homosexuality & lesbianism are unnatural? These are natural instincts that has existed all along the human evolution & as old as human being itself. These are natural from all points of view, scientifically & religiously. There is nothing to suggest that these instincts are induced artificially to any individual. So it is wrong to deprive a section of our society merely because of social misconceptions.
Last but not the least-
