Ayyavaji (Tamil: அய்யாவழி : അയ്യാവഴി -"Tanrı'nın yolu") 19 yy.'da Güney Hindistan'da ortaya çıkmışDharmatik bir inanç sistemidir. Çeşitli yayınlar, hükûmet raporları ve akademik araştırmalar bunun bağımsız monistik bir din olduğunu belirtirler. Ayyavaji'nin bir Hindu mezhebi olduğunu savunan görüşler de mevcuttur. Hindistan nüfus sayımlarında bu dinin takipçilerinin büyük çoğunluğu kendilerini Hindu olarak tanıtmıştır.

Ayyavaji, hayatın merkezindedir ve dini lideridir. O, fikirlerini ve felsefesini ve kutsal kitaplarında toplamıştır. Buna göre Ayya Vaikundar, Narayana'nın avatarıdır. Ayyavaji'nin, mitoloji ve uygulamada Hinduizm ile birçok fikir paylaşımları mevcuttur, ancak; iyi ve kötü ve dharma kavramları oldukça farklıdır. Ayyavaji, dharmatik inanç olarak sınıflandırılmaktadır çünkü dharmanın merkezine odaklanmıştır.

Ayyavaji takipçileri, Hindistan'ın geneline yayılmış olmasına karşın, özellikle Tamil Nadu ve Kerala eyaletlerinde yoğunlaşmışlardır. Sayılarının 8 ile 10 milyon arasında olduğu tahmin edilmektedir.
