Adi Dharm refers to the religion of Adi Brahmo Samaj ((ベンガル語:আদি ব্রাহ্ম সমাজ, Adi Brahmô Shômaj)) the first development of Brahmoism and includes those Sadharan Brahmo Samajists who were reintegrated into Brahmoism after the 2nd schism of 1878 at the instance of Hemendranath Tagore.〔Particularly those Sadharan Brahmos who accept the core 1830 Adi Dharma Trust Principles〕 This was the first organised casteless movement in British India and reverberated from its heart of Bengal to Assam, Bombay State (modern Sindh, Maharashtra and Gujarat), Punjab and Madras, Hyderabad, and Bangalore. ==Tenets== It was never conceived as an "anti-caste" movement, but stood for repudiation of all "distinctions between people" and foundation of a modern educated secular Indian nation under the timeless and formless One God, and its adherents as Adi-Dharmis (or worshipers of the ancient formless indivisible One god ''Brahma'' or the ''Parambrahma'' "The One without a Second" or ''EkAdavaitam''). Although the doctrine of Adi Dharma is superficially similar to other reformatory "sects" of Hinduism which speak of "different paths to One God", the core beliefs of Adi Dharm irrevocably place Adi Dharm and Brahmoism as the youngest of India's none religions beyond the pale of "Hinduism's catholicism and elasticity".〔"31 Cal 11" Indian legal citation ''Rani Bhagwan Koer and Ors v. J.C.Bose and Ors.''〕 The core Adi-Dharma doctrinal beliefs differing from Hinduism include: #There is only One "Supreme Spirit", Author and Preserver of Existence. (''... Beyond description, immanent, transcendent, eternal, formless, infinite, powerful, radiant, loving, light in the darkness, ruling principle of existence ...''. Polytheism is denounced. Idolatry i.e. worship of images is opposed.) #There is no salvation and no way to achieve it. ("Works will win". Worshipful work is the way of existence. Work is for both body and soul. All life exists to be consumed. The soul is immortal and does not return to this World. There is neither Heaven nor Hell nor rebirth) #There is no scripture, revelation, creation, prophet, priest or teacher to be revered. (Only the Supreme Spirit of Existence can be revered – not the Vedas, Granths, Bibles or Quran etc.. Worship consist of revering the "inner light within" i.e. enlightened conscience) #There is no distinction. (All men are equal. Distinctions like caste, race, creed, colour, gender, nationality etc. are artificial. There is no need for priests, places of worship, long sermons〔Dwarkanath Tagore was most astounded in his First Voyage to England by the long lectures delivered as sermons at the Episcopal ''Kirk'' in Scotland. Little did he know that back home his son Debendranath was plotting a similar tradition of long sermons for Brahmos.
