Teachings and impacts of Ayyavazhi : ウィキペディア英語版 | Teachings and impacts of Ayyavazhi
The Ayyavazhi includes a corpus of teachings of its initiator Ayya Vaikundar in the form of instructions and slogans found in the religious book ''Akilattirattu''. == Dharmam ==
The teachings on Dharmam have two levels of understanding: a principle of 'righteousness', and a concrete activity of 'charity' or 'almsgiving'.〔G. Patrick's, ''Religion and Subaltern Agency'', Chapter 5, p. 113〕 As a principle, the followers of Ayyavazhi believed that the prime motive of the mission of Ayya Vaikundar was to establish Dharmam in this world by destroying the evil force of Kali. It is said in Akilattirattu that people, even while listening to the teachings of Ayya Vaikundar, 'realised' that the evil of Kali was gradually being withdrawn from the world and that Dharmam was being established in its stead. Transposed to the social plane, this principle of Dharmam was considered as the mission of "protecting or salvaging the lowly, the oppressed."〔Ailattirattu Ammanai, published by T. Palaramachandran Nadar, 9th impression, 1989, p. 212〕 As a practical activity, Dharmam meant charity and almsgiving. This was taught to be the way to seek God.〔Patiram - Ayya Cicarukku Connatu in, Arul nul, published by T. Palaramachandran Nadar, 13th impression, 1990, p. 24〕 People were specially exhorted to undertake charity by means of material goods, and do it without discriminating among the beneficiaries.〔G. Patrick's, Religion and Subaltern Agency, Chapter 5, p.113〕
