Ajavazi
Ajavazi (tamilski அய்யாவழி, malajalamski അയ്യാവഴി Ayyāvaḻi[1] [əjːaːvəɻi] ( слушај), „Put učitelja”) henoteističko je verovanje koje vodi poreklo iz Južne Indije.[2] Nekoliko novina,[3][4][5] vladinih izveštaja,[6][7] časopisa,[8] i akademskih istraživača navodi je kao nezavisnu monističku[9][9] religiju.[10][11][12][13][14] Međutim, u indijskim popisima stanovništva, većina njenih sledbenika izjašnjava se kao Hindusi. Stoga se ajavazi takođe smatra hinduističkom denominacijom.[15][16][17] Zvanično (pravno), ajavazi postoji u hinduizmu kao hinduistička denominacija.[18]
Ajavazi je usredsređen na život i propovedi Aje Vajkundar; njegove ideje i filozofija zasnivaju se na svetim tekstovima Akilatiratu Amanaj i Arul Nul. Stoga je Vajkundar bio puranski avatar Narajane.[19] Ajavazi deli mnoge ideje sa hinduizmom u svojim verovanjima i praksi, ali se znatno razlikuje u svojim konceptima dobra i zla i darme.[20] Ajavazi je klasifikovan kao darmičko verovanje zbog svog centralnog fokusa na darmi.[21]
Ajavazi je prvi put privukao pažnju javnosti u 19. veku kao hinduistička sekta.[22] Vajkundrove aktivnosti i sve veći broj sledbenika izazvali su reformaciju i revoluciju travankorskog[23] i tamilskog društva 19. veka,[24] iznenadivši feudalni društveni sistem Južne Indije.[25] Takođe je pokrenula niz reformskih pokreta, uključujući one Narajana Gurua[26][27] i Ramalinge Svamigala.[28]
Iako su sledbenici ajavazija zastupljeni širom Indije,[29][30] oni su prevashodno prisutni u Južnoj Indiji,[31] a posebno su koncentrisani u Tamil Naduu[32] i Kerali.[33] Procenjuje se da broj sledbenika iznosi između 8.000.000[34] i 10.000.000,[35] mada tačan broj nije poznat, pošto se Ajavazi prijavljuju kao Hindusi tokom popisa.[36][37]
