Navdarism (translation) is the world's second-largest religion, and one of the world's oldest continuously practiced religions. Navdarism is a monistic faith, with elements of henotheism and atheism, centered on an eschatological cosmology dealing with self-salvation and spiritual liberation. It also encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices largely based on the original teachings of Nawdhar. It originated in ancient Poureman in the 11th century BCE, and, after a period of intense suppression, spreading through much of Sifhar, Arabekh, Majula, and Catai. Three major extant branches of Navdarism are generally recognized: Benayine (Pouremanian: lit. Seeing through the Mirror), Mehtaraina (Pouremanian:Order of the Elders), and Vasborya (Pouremanian:lit. Dancing on the Tower)
