Apokpa Laining (the Apokpa religion) endeavors to discover Apokpa (the Truth; the Almighty; the Brahma) by cultivating in one's own mother tongue, custom and culture. The Apokpa has no name, but different communities call or invoke Him in their own language as God, Brahma, or Allah.
Apokpa Laining does not have idol worship, so community worship is in the form of Khubam (symbolic representations in demarcated places where articles for worship are placed). Apokpaism worship takes place with Meiteis rites and rituals maintaining all customary norms.
The Meitei believe in two categories of deities:
Not only the Apokpa community but all the Meiteis generally worship Yumlai and Umanglai.
The first human species was created by Lainingthou Sanamahee, the incarnation of Eepuroi Apokpa by observing the image of Soraren and then spread human beings and inhabited all over the earth.
Laninghan declared that Meetei-Laibak is the first habitation land of human beings and it is not only a paradise for the Meiteis, but also for other human beings on the earth. He declared that as long as the Meiteis' "Chayon-Taret" (seven days of week) exist, the history of the Meiteis will not become extinct.
