Ayyavazhi Ethics - Neetham

Neetham

Neetham is the primary virtues of Ayyavazhi religion. This is found in Akilattirattu Ammanai in the midst of meta narrative events of eight yugas. This shows that how the society, its people, the ruling king etc. lived in absolute harmony with nature, placing the power of almighty in all their works deeds and activities, during early ages.

The Akilam points out this as an example, and there by says that how the people should live in the world. The Neethams are split into three. They are,

  1. Manu Neetham: How an individual should personify him or herself.
  2. Raja Neetham: How an individual should be to the society or Nation, and in turn how the Nation should be to a common man.
  3. Deiva Neetham: How an individual should be before God.

This Neetham is found in Akilam as saying how the people of early age lived in detail. It was derived from there as an ethical form that is to be followed.
