History

Beliefs

As a highly syncretic faith, Dinism draws both from the traditional mythology of the Kitauban peoples and from the practices of Hinduism and other Mokshaic traditions. Central to Dinism is the namesake dini, a KiUngwana word originally meaning "religion" or "faith" more generically which now serves as a translation of the concept of dharma.
