Within the Ayyavazhi tradition, all religions are ultimately traced back to a single divine source, often expressed as Ekam, the supreme oneness. Religious diversity is understood as the result of a historical and cosmic process in which an originally unified truth became fragmented into multiple paths. These paths are seen as shaped by time, place, and culture, and as containing elements of genuine revelation and guidance. Thus, other religions are not dismissed as false in their entirety, but regarded as partial and historically conditioned expressions of a deeper, underlying reality.

At the same time, Ayyavazhi holds that these religious systems have, over time, become affected by forces of corruption and spiritual distortion. This is linked to a broader vision of a dark age marked by confusion, injustice, and the loss of original clarity. The critique is aimed not so much at ordinary believers as at the structures, hierarchies, and practices that perpetuate oppression, inequality, and ritualism devoid of righteousness. In this sense, Ayyavazhi positions itself as a corrective revelation that seeks to restore the primordial truth from which all religions sprang.

Central to this outlook is the conviction that all human beings are spiritually equal, regardless of religious affiliation, caste, or community. Followers of other religions are viewed as fellow seekers who are fully capable of living in accordance with dharma—righteousness, justice, and compassion. The measure of a path is not its label, but the extent to which it upholds equality and genuine moral order. Sectarian boundaries are therefore treated as secondary to the deeper call to live a dharmic life.

Ayyavazhi envisions a future in which humanity is united in recognition of Ekam, and in which the divisions between religions and castes lose their binding power. This is not framed as a project of aggressive conversion, but as a gradual unveiling of the original, uncorrupted truth that underlies all authentic spiritual striving. The role of Ayyavazhi, in this view, is to expose the distortions that have crept into religious life and to reorient human beings toward a shared foundation of unity and righteousness. In that restored order, diversity of expression may remain, but it is gathered around a common center of dharma and oneness.
