Direct Worship of the Actual God
- Direct Worship of the Actual God
Direct Worship of the Actual God is a new religious movement founded in 1984 by the group's prophet, Shyam D. Buxani, and codified in the book "Salam – Divine Revelations from the Actual God" (ISBN 0-9723955-3-9).
Origins
Practitioners believe that Buxani, during a long spiritual fast in honor of the "Actual God," began to receive an ongoing series of divine revelations. Believing these revelations to contain precise instructions to attain eternal happiness, Buxani began to compile his teachings on how to practice Direct-Worship of the "Actual God" in his book "Salam".
Beliefs
Direct Worship is characterised by its comparative simplicity to other religions, though it consists of teachings on a broad range of subjects, from traditional topics of religion such as charitable acts and sacrifices to those not normally addressed by the dogma of other religions such as tax policy and government. A fundamental point of Direct Worship is the importance of rationality and logical reasoning.
