About UFO Manipur · Since 1962

From Sat-jal Academy to a
global friendship movement.

Founded in 1962 in Manipur by the visionary Huyen Langlon Grandmaster Rajkumar Manisana, our organization began as Sat-jal Academy — a "net of truth" gathering seekers of wisdom, discipline and spiritual understanding. In the year 2000, it evolved into the Universal Friendship Organization to carry a wider vision: a world without war, hatred, fear or division.

"We are all covered by the same blue sky, we are all living on this common planet Earth, we are all brothers from a common father — universal peace and love is better in such a precious span of life."
— Grandmaster Rajkumar Manisana
Vision

A world without war, hatred, fear or division — united under one sky, sharing one Earth as brothers and sisters of a common source.

Mission

To advance universal peace and love through cultural understanding, meditation, self-discipline, martial arts, and global friendship.

Guiding Principles

Never get angry · Never forget · Never lazy — control emotion, keep learning, stay disciplined and ready to serve.

The Founder

The lifelong vision of Grandmaster Manisana.

A Grandmaster of Huyen Langlon, the traditional Meitei martial art, Rajkumar Manisana taught that humanity originates from one common source — and therefore should live with brotherhood, compassion and mutual respect rather than conflict and violence.

Through martial arts, meditation and moral discipline, he envisioned a society where innocent people could walk freely at night without fear. He taught mindful living and harmony with nature, encouraging people to "eat those things which grow back" — because food shapes blood, blood shapes thoughts, and thoughts shape the world.
