Direct WorshipDirect Worship of the "Actual God" is a religion founded in 1984 by the group's prophet, Shyam D. Buxani, and codified in the book Salam - Divine Revelations from the Actual God (ISBN 0972395539). Origins Practitioners of the religion believe Buxani who claims that during a long spiritual fast in honor of the "Actual God", his prayers were rewarded with the first of an ongoing series of divine revelations.
