Founder is Arulthiru Bangaru Adigalar. The movement is also known as the Adhiparasakthi Movement. Its purpose is to bring Adhiparasakthi's message to the world and serve humanity.
Adigalar teaches that the greatest form of worship is service to humanity and that we can all serve God together within our individual religions without strife, thus the motto: "One Mother One World." MOSM undertakes many charitable and educational activities through the Adhiparasakthi Trust and urges its devotees to take an active role in helping people in their communities
There is no prescribed belief system for devotees. No one should give up their current belief if it satisfies their needs. However, if someone is looking for help in the spiritual journey they can try and find something in MOSM to help them.
Its regional focus as up to now is South India especially Tamil Nadu and Kerala, but its target ir regional expansion.

How does MOSM understands itself

It sees itself as a philosophy, which embraces all religions with the guidance of the Goddess It’s believe is based on Hinduism, but MOSM reorganized the setup and has made changes in rituals, poojas, philosophy, etc. to suit the people of all religions without changing the original image.

Open to all, irrespective of caste, creed and religion it can be considered a socio-religious movement. It has made a spiritual renaissance in Tamil Nadu and has reawakened the sense of pride in the Tamil people's heritage.

The mother goddess Adhiparasakthi is thought to be the energy behind the birth, continuation and dissolution of the Universe. She has many titles but in the end she is said to be The Divine Mother. Both impersonal and personal are in one and the same God.

While there is a diversity in Hinduism with great hierarchies in relationships, Adigalar, the founder of MOSM wants to break them. He uses his status as an incarnation of the Mother goddess for this purpose and is spreading the concept of "One Religion, One Mother" as the basic concept of world peace. Adigalar sees the world as one family and follows the doctrine of universal brotherhood.

For Adigalar all women are the visible manifestation of the Divine Mother. Adigalar expects the same reverence for women in the life of each devotee. He is said to be very sensitive to the sufferings and plights of women and feels that one of the reasons for India's degraded state in the world is due to its disregard for the condition of its women. According to him, if the woman is spiritual, she makes the family spiritual. In turn the village, the city, the country, and the world become spiritual. He calls the women sakthis, without whom there is no regeneration for the world. The country becomes weakest when the sakthi is held in dishonor.

Adigalar is propagating a religion that is equally acceptable to all minds; it is equally philosophic, equally emotional, equally mystic and equally conducive to action. Om Sakthi Universal Religion is attained by Yoga. To the disciple yoga is the union between men and the whole of humanity, to the mystic it is the union between his lower and higher self; to the lover or devotee it is the union between himself and the God of Divine Love and to the Philosopher it the union of all existence. This is the meaning of Yoga and it’s follower is called yogi.
Yogi is called Sakthi in the Om Sakthi Movement. The Karma Yogi is called the Thondar or worker. One who seeks union through love is called Bakthi Yogi. A mystic adherent is called Raja Yogi. And he who seeks it through philosophy is called Jnana Yogi. In MOSM one can see all four types mentioned above. Starting from Karma Yoga or Bakthi Yoga each is raising to other Yogas. The poojas, rituals of MOSM have been so arranged that it can cater to the needs of all four types.

According to MOSM we stand at a point in history where the world is shrinking with different cultures and religions in conflict and many threatened with extinction. This has the potential to destroy the total diversity in this world. This diversity is the wealth of this world and should be embraced. If we can realize that we all share the same God and that He/She has allowed us this diversity so that we can each find our own way to Her/Him, then we can accept our differences and even embrace them in peace

Organizational structure
MOSM doesn’t work with priests, monks, sadhus or sanyasins, but with householders. Devotees are trained to perform the rituals and poojas. Ashrams or Temples are only for the spiritual education of the disciples.

MOSM focuses on activities of individual householders, both men and women, belonging to a religious order. They are dedicated not merely to their own or to their family's spiritual discipline and progress and well being, but also to the spiritual progress and well being of the society in which they are living.
All offerings made by the devotees, either in money or kind are collected by the Adhiparasakthi Trust and used for welfare of humanity and uplifting of downtrodden people.

Social orientation
Adigalar's concept doesn't bother with what may have been the source of a man's sufferings according to reincarnation. One can overcome the effect of all the Karma of the past through dedicated service to humanity and by immense faith in Adhiparasakthi.
One has a responsibility to feed the poor, so that they can also think of God realization and can enter into the spiritual realm and absorb spiritual knowledge. The Divine Mother and the Siddhars emancipated souls can be made happy only by actions via which the poor are fed. (Anna Thanam and Adai Thanam).

Worship
All worship according to MOSM is the worship of humans around us. One has to worship one’s own fellow man and woman first. Each devotee in the Om Sakthi Movement calls each other "Sakthi" since all the Jivas are the fragments of Brahma, the Absolute.
Adigalar is not preaching all these things through words only, but mainly by silence. The sanctity of silence and the serenity of his thoughts are sensed by his devotees.
Adigalar is preaching to strike a balance between the two ideals of worship and service. He has dedicated himself to provide an opportunity to practice the ideals of Vedantha, without the distraction of the world - to practice meditation and concentration, continence and truthfulness, to intensity faith in and love of Adhiparasakthi, to practice discrimination between the real and unreal, to practice seeing Adhiparasakthi in everyone and feeling the living presence of the Divine Mother

Why MOSM, which is a strongly social service oriented movement believes in the necessity of spiritualism?
Human beings, though not wholly rational, have emotions and behave in conformity with traditions and beliefs. Most leaders consciously and unconsciously use the non-traditional aspect of human personality to mobilize people for action. Hence, guidance of Avatar is necessary to reconcile the rational and positive approach with mystic experience.
Recognizing the existence of non-rational elements in human behavior is not the same as accepting the existence of a spiritual order. They are two different things. A belief in the existence of Brahma or Divine Mother or a life of spirit is necessary for the message of a concern for one's fellow human beings.
We have to rediscover the concept of humanity. Human beings are without doubt different in language, color, caste, creed, ideology, economic status, social status and political status. While all these differences are very important human beings constitute one body and every human being counts with equal value. All are fragments of Adhiparasakthi the Supreme Brahman.
To understand the concept of humanity cannot merely come from the intellect, nor can it come from mere ideology. Ultimately, the deepest root of a human being lies in religion or spirituality even call it non-rational, but the highest motivation in man ultimately comes from his recognition of the superiority of something above himself, either as an individual or a representation of a class or nation.
The vedantic concept of Brahman and of human identity is a concept familiar in India for many centuries. We have all heard that “God-Head”, the Brahman or the Divine Mother Adhiparasakthi, is everywhere and in every human being.
In MOSM Adigalar is working on implementing all these things in practice.

MOSM believes that religion has to be brought to the Market Place.
Religion is not to be kept only in the churches, mosques and temples, nor only in monasteries or in forest caves in the mighty Himalayas. Religion is to be brought into actual life so that common laymen can avail the opportunity. This is what Adigalar calls the principle of Om Sakthi Movement.
According to Adigalar, religious ideas will have to become Universal, vast and infinite; and then alone shall have the fullest play of religion. He says that the power of religion has only just begun to manifest in the world after the start of Om Sakthi Movement. The power of religion is being broadened and purified and is going to penetrate every part of human life. When followers will come to the real spiritual universal concept then and then alone religion will become real and alluring; it will come into our very nature, live in our every movement, penetrate every pore of our society and be infinitely more power for good than it has ever been before.
