There are some lofty claims made about notability here, but I'm struggling here with internal contradictions in this article.
The congregation is said to have been created in 1472 (cited to a newspaper), but is also supposedly an offshoot of Theosophy which is a new age spiritual religion created in the 19th century. There's an unusual melding of popular religions going on here which is pretty much entirely OR.
If I were to remove the original research from this article, I'm not sure there are any remaining claims to notability. I've done a basic source search but I'm not a subject matter expect and am not fully sure what is going on here.
My working understanding is that this is a small, insular religious community which isn't especially strongly connected to the major religions aside from the cultural influences of its members. This is corroborated by the fact its main headquarters is in a smallish town in rural India.
As documentation of parts of human culture, this is no doubt vaguely WP:USEFUL, but I don't think there's enough written secondary material to justify an article that could be reasonably sourced to any standard of verifiability. My preference here would be DRAFTIFY over DELETE. This could become a worthy article eventually and I don't want this information removed for good, but it's not the place on Wikipedia right now from as far as I can see..

- Draftify per nom rationale. If someone else's search yields more references, I could see myself swapping to keep. ~ Pbritti ( talk)
