- Aaiyyanism is a branch of Dravidian (South Indian) Hinduism that is around 3500 years old. Its philosophy is similar to mainstream Hindu teachings in that it deals with self-liberation via yogic practises. Its founder is claimed to be Aaiyyan, an incarnation of Shiva, and as such Aaiyyansm is a form of Hindu Saivaism. The main difference between Hindu Saivaism and Aaiyyanism is that Aaiyyanists believe they are separate from the main Aryan Hindu school of thought and belong to a much older school with a Dravidian historical underpining.
